As promised, this report comes shortly after the previous one. I started with the steering wheel. Luckily, I managed to find lots of pics and even a 3D model, so at least that wasn't an issue. However, scale it down 18 times and you have to fit all the buttons on a piece measuring 16*9mm. To put it in perspective:
I'm happy with the result though. The three knobs under the display are there too, only they can't be seen from this angle.
Then the head rest. This one has no decals, so I just made several templates until I got the shape 100% right. I also tried to work cleanly.
And finally, the seat. I used my knowledge from last time and further refined the shape. Since no info in particular about the McLaren's seat could be found, I just used a standard one.
I concentrated a bit more on the seatbelts. The two belts from the side now are anchored to the cockpit, which is more realistic. Achieving this with the front pair was impossible, so I attached it to the seat itself. The two main belts fit inside the cockpit's rear wall.
And here, the fitted seatbelts can be seen:
The finished cockpit:
And the completed McLaren with only its wheels and tires missing:
Stick around for a launch date! And have a wonderful new year!
Cheers
