Here are some pictures of the chassis build. It's heavily laminated so as to withstand handling, and I use foamboard to help stiffen the structure.
Next up is the engine compartment. Even though its more work, I decided to cut out the grills as I think they look better that just being printed on.
I also modified the hinges, as I found the original hinges looked too flat, and I wanted it to look more realistic. I cut up strips of paper, and rolled them up, then squeezing both sides of the roll with my fingers to get that 'hump' shape of the grills.
