Topics I've Started

Hasegawa Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

19 May 2013 - 02:40 PM

I just finished this one up. I really like this kit and love this car. I was imagining an Argentine privateer racing this one. For some reason that's what this color scheme makes me think of. The color is a Tamiya AS series paint but I can't remember which one. The white on the nose is Tamiya's TS-7 Racing White. I've added some photoetch stuff that was leftover from a previous 250 TR build.

Tamiya Alpine Renault A110 -- Phantom Rally Livery

29 April 2013 - 12:58 PM

Here's my latest, another build of the Tamiya Alpine Renault A110, this time as a phantom rally car. The livery is based on some works cars i've seen. I like the look and tried to recreate it though without any modification to the car itself (the cars that sported this look are radically different from this version). Paint Tamiya TS in French blue, pure white, and bright red, cleared with Tamiya acrylic. I used some decals from the Monte Carlo version and others from unknown sources. I didn't add much: some photoetch grille and radiator face, seatbelts, plug wires. A fun build and my first completion since I moved back in January from Illinois to Oregon.

Portland, Oregon, Here I Come!

30 December 2012 - 03:11 PM

I'm moving to Portland. I'm somewhat familiar with the hobby community there but would like to hear any helpful suggestions fellow members might have. I've met a couple of Portlanders from Scale Auto and Model Cars forums on previous visits and would like to know of model clubs and the like to explore the social aspects of the hobby. 

 

Also, I need a job. But that'll come eventually. 


Tamiya Mercedes CLK-GTR

09 October 2012 - 11:54 AM

This is one of Tamiya's kits of the CLK-GTR. I highly recommend this kit to anyone with even a slight interest in such cars. I used Tamiya paints and enhanced the kit with Studio 27's photoetch set, which included and very nice looking windshield wiper and that cool Mercedes star hood ornament.


Special thanks goes out to fellow member FordGuy1984 (Grant) who supplied me with much needed backup decals to complete this project. I had two of these kits and one had perfect decals and the other had useless, fall-apart decals.

Hope you like it.
