rsxse240 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 After seeing this, I am just that much more disappointed with the Italeri Miura (ESCI rebox) kit. This one looks so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Got some more done today, luckly there isn't much stuff I have to add to this kit, it will be a relaxing build! -Photo 1; I drilled out the gauges. -Photo 2; I covered the backs of the headrests with styrene. -Photo 3; I carefully drilled out the holes in the steering wheel.

Dann Tier Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hey, everyone!, I have another Miura update!....Everything is still in the rough... -Photo 1; The seat on the left is missing seams, so I added them. -Photo 2; Notice how much better the headrests look when they have the proper seam depth. -Photo 3; The real car has these vertical doorjam trim pieces, so I needed to make some. -Photo 4; There are actually trim pieces like these on the real car.

Dann Tier Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Its been a while since I've been able to work on my builds, but i'm back now! I use to detail everything, but as of late, I've decided to only detail things that can be seen from any angle....except for the under side of curbside kits. This helps me accomplish a few things that are important to me; 1) saves on supplies, 2) saves on time spent on a certain build, 3) allows more time, and money for builds that I want to fully detail, and 4) even though there is NO WAY for me to get them all built before I bite-it, it does give me a better chance than none at all. Here I pre-assembled everything for painting. What you see here will all be painted Flat Black, and if during the course of the build I see something that needs kolor, because its visible enough, then I will brush it. I have left two parts out of the front end assembly......they wont be seen, so I don't need them. I WILL be fully detailing the top end of the engine, since it can be seen through the rear window of the interior, and just barely enough through the louvers on the rear window. I will also be opening-up the rear end Honeycomb mesh, and before anybody gets excited and says that that will allow a lot of detail to show, just remember that Hasegawa DIDNT include the boot in this kit, but I will be SB one, and whatever detail is left to be seen, wont …...it'll be in darker shadows. -Next will be all but the body parts being painted!...….thanks again for stopping by!!

Dann Tier Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey, everyone!, I have all the seams filled, gauges drilled out, and everything that's a separate part, was scribed to look like so. All the edges were slightly rounded for a more realistic look since the kit one looks way too hard, like its all metal. After the final sanding of this, I will have all the interior parts ready for paint on this one too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Porter Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ahh, the Hasegawa Miura. This is pretty high on my list along with somehow rescuing my SVJ build. Very interested to see the detailing you're adding to what is a very nice kit in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment no Ford GT on my bench. As a matter of fact on Tuesday night I started a 1/35th scale Soviet KV-2 tank by Trumpeter. lol Not 100% certain what my next auto build is going to be though tracking down a good deal on Tamiya's Morgan is calling to me...
