SpikeSchumacher Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just finished this one. Build details are over on the Workbench. Thanks for looking! Mathias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Weird, l've had a couple 1:1s but like them better as 1:25. Very nice build. l'm a little late on the pro-touring band wagon, but l sure like what can be done in this genre. Very cool car! Bart.

bbowser Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice paint, I like the red stripe, neatly done. Looks like you converted to a coil spring rear? Those tailpipes wouldn't be legal around here. Over all a very cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice model... but that sway bar on the rear axle connected like it is wouldn't be doing you a whole lot of good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikelo Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice job on the piant! What do you use to mask off your stripes? Overall, it loks really good. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice job on the piant! What do you use to mask off your stripes? Overall, it loks really good. Mike I usually use Tamiya masking tape, but for this one I actually used some Fine Line automotive "pinstriping" tape. It was very thin, not sure about the exact measurement. First time I've tried this type of scheme on a car. I usually stick to the safe, single color paint jobs. Pretty happy with how it came out. Mathias Very nice color combo Its like the Chip Foose style Yeah, Chip & our own JDM Fan inspired me to try this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Black and silver classic color combo. perfect paint and detail. Excellent work....Slusher It actually does look more like silver in the pics, doesn't it? It's actually Tamiya Champagne Gold TS-75 out of the can.... I love it! Excellent work. Thank you sir!

SpikeSchumacher Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Nice model... but that sway bar on the rear axle connected like it is wouldn't be doing you a whole lot of good! Probably true! I got the idea for the rear-end set-up from a Tim Boyd article in the "other" model car magazine. I didn't want to stress about the "correctness" of it, I just wanted to complete something & have fun while doing it. Am I the only one who has more "in-progress" builds, than actual finished models, that languish due to obsessing over details? (the dreaded AMS syndrome! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Very nice and no, you are not the only one with more WIP than completed models! If I were to finish all of my WIP, then I would have to buy a couple more display cases or shelves for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
