Funkychiken Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Amazing build Dann, loved following along!. Shame there isn't a build of the year, I'd for for this, although you might tell from how long the thread is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Thank YOU Dann for the time you took to document the build. It IS a great build and I learned a lot of neat tricks from the methods you shared. The car is so realistic looking but after going back and looking at all the close-ups a person has to be struck at how clean the build is. No mean feat with all that detail. Congratulations !! cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Very impressive build my friend, congratulations on finishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't know which is the greater miracle... the build's quality itself...? Or the mere fact that it's actually finished now?? Well, I guess I'll go for the build! LOL! One fact about closely following a great WIP is that at some stage you KNOW there will be a great result eventually. But this is not just a "great" result, it's a fantastic one - the same fantastic that applies to your skills, your dedication, your innovative methods and your patience. Even though you have permanently spoilt my appetite to build this kit for myself ( ), I am grateful for the efforts you made in showing and explaining how to get such a result, that is so d**n close to "perfect". R-E-S-P-E-C-T Dann, and looking forward too see a lot more WIP's from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tommy!!, I really appreciate all the kind things you just said, but i'm sorry I made you not want to build it, my whole intention was to show people that it CAN be done the way it was intended, and that its not really difficult. I was glad.....driven, to make a path for everyone!....aside from all the insane extras I added, it has enough great detail to stand alone as a beautiful build! _Thanks again, bud!!

Thanks, Alex!!, you know how it is, you've done some insane builds yourself!.....heck, just getting that rear cowl on the Tamiya F-40 was a job in its self!! I've come to realize with that kit, and this Pagani, that you wont always be able to fix everything, but to get it as close as possible can work...i.e., all the gaps between body panels on my Pagani. Yes I got everything to fit very well, added a ton of extra detail, but the gaps are still off a bit, so I decided i'd much rather have uniform gapping, than some narrow, and some wider. Symetery is what I like to have with ALL my builds. It doesn't matter who, or how one builds, show me a model that's claiming to be 100% accurate....and i'll make a list why it isn't. -sorry for the ramble, bud! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a perfectionist and little things would drive me nuts! I would re-paint entire bodies because of small specs of dust. But then I realized it does not do me any good and uses up more of my modeling time, which I don't have enough to begin with. So I became a "good enough for me" model builder. And you know what - its great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabbricaP Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looks amazing Dann! Wouldnt worry about body panel gap so much - this one deserves to be displayed with everything open! Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
