Gapmaker Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone! This is my first car model I ever build. This is my first finished scale model after about 20 years break. And this is my first post here Tamiya spray cans and Tamiya polishing compounds were used. Straight from the box project with minor scratchbuild (dashboard dials, brake lines, wood plating on underside, BMF chrome moldings). Thanks for watching.

Gapmaker Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Thanks for everyone for grading highly of my model! It gives me additional kick for next projects! After a 20 year hiatus it does not look like you lost any building skills. The trick is that it's my second attempt of building this model. First one was deadly unsuccessful. After forth times of paint stripping and repainting, plastic parts were completely destroyed. But I gained great experience in painting. Those door handles look like real metal, how did you do those? Just cut and glue Door handles and wheel caps are stock parts from the kit. Great!!! Amazing!!! The pinstripping in green on the sides is just amazing. Would love to know how it was done. These are kit decals which were applied before clear coats. Отличная работа! Спасибо, Юрий! Ваши работы и фотосеты для меня всегда являются примером, так что мне есть у кого учится и на кого равняться и к чьему качеству стремиться.

donb Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What everyone else said X2! Looks like photo's of the real car. Great photography too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 It's hard to tell, does the interior/seats match the pinstripes? It all looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The stripes being decals doesn't detract at all of the great quality of the model. The black paint is just perfect. The interior has a cloth "feel" that is very hard to achieve. I've tried and failed. With a forced perspective background, the model will be indistinguishable from the 1:1 car.
