Hi guys
Actually I started the Delorean several month ago, the begining you can see at the Kartonbau.de Kartonbau.de - Alles rund um's Kartonmodell... | Bauberichte | DMC-12 DeLorean, Time machine from "Back to the Future" trilogy / free model , but I'd like to make a thread here to show you my work

The model is free, desighned by Claudio Dias, the page Paperinside.com

So, here we go

First, the Desighner himself, John Zachary DeLorean

Some info about him: John DeLorean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some links with the car

I'll be building model of the car from part 2

First, in Photoshop I've removed all the dotted lines, corrected color and shape of some details. Also tire protector had benn added

Printed on 230 gr. paper. After that all sheets had been covered with acrylic matt lacquer

The body will be ground coated and will be painted with acrylic matt "metallic"

Also I prepared different wires and matt film with thikness about 0.6 mm

More details. I made the steering wheel from piece of wire

Gear-lever was made and a device (pointed with arrow, don't know what name exactly). This device isn't among details, so I made it in Photoshop

At the beginning, I planned to build the model using LED's only for front and rear lights, and side signal flashers, but after long thinking I decided to put SMD LEDs into the car interior.
The circuit is from this site: CultTVman Nate McKenna's Tyderium

First, I made power supply, using LM7809 stabilizer

Type of LEDs: SML210YT (yellow) and KP-2012EC (red)

Also one LED will be installed into an appliance table. Type: KP-2012EC (red)
I used computer IDE data cable for wiring
