Superb! I guess your house move got completed!

Just scrolled through all 8 pages of build progress, thoroughly enjoyable to watch all the scratch building come alive! Its a great build coming along nicely...

Cool looking ferrari! Finished quickly too!

Interior was simple and easy to put together. I was tempted to put in some belts, but decided to get this completed quickly rather than faff with that. The Chasis was also simple to put together, just waiting for wheels

Thanks Dann, appreciate it!

Spoon test, this is Zero Grey primer, with Zero Black base & a light coating of Proscale Aston Martin Blue, finished with a coating of Zero 1K thinnned with Mr Color levelling thinner. Looks a bit like Midnight Purple - but in blue...

Probably the only non OOB thing i'll do is add this cross beam - made out of sprue from the kit

Chassis is now painted, with Tamiya Flat black, hand painted details using Tamiya Acrylics and then a coating of Semi-matt clear.

Bee, excellent build, I love this car, but the kits options aren't great & Fujimi's curbside is very expensive... But you've done a sterling job & the interior looks great. The Flocking looks perfect!

Those bonnet pins will be removed the body has been pre-assembled. the wing mirrors sit in a strange place, so they've had pins aded to make them easier to install

Wanted to do an OOB kit, and have made reasonable progress so for. Looking to get this done within a month.

It took some time to finish it off, main issue was melting the windscreen wipers with a naked flame - trying to get them to conform to the shape of the windscreen. You can tell its an old Tamiya kit, the windscreen piece does not sit too well in the space - but a mixture of superglue & white glue had got it in place. I know the side windows are too thick, but I didn't want to cut them off. Finished now, and will post some proper pictures later - when the sun is shining!

looking fantastic! how many house did it take in front of the computer to get it all modelled prior to printing?

Hi All I love corvettes - especially the late 80s and 90s cars - grew up with these as posters on my walls. I'd love to do a hald decent job with this kit - any experience of it out there? the first of 2 issues I see so far are that the engine bonnet is not the same width as the rest of the body, probably sits as an overhang by about 1mm. Currently my plan is to sand it down, as heating to re-form it will end up a disaster. the 2nd issue is seen in the image - When test assembling the body, with the interior tub in position (which is a snap fit) the transmission tunnel in the chassis (highlighted in red) hits the underside of the interior tub, and rocks on that surface. the bottom of the chassis then hangs a it low at the sides of the body. My question - if you ahve built this - is if this will work out through the build, or if I just need to add stabilizers to stop the rocking, or if I have to sand down the other side of the transmission tunnel to remove the inteference (or minimize, as I think i would have to cut the top of the tunnel off to completely remove the inteference) thanks for any help!

The final piece of the puzzle is the headlamps. the plan is to drill a hole, feed 2mm aluminium through for main beams & paint the rest + add a clear cover to make it look like a light housing. Pictures show the drilled head lights then I cut off the end of the aluminium tube & filled with PVA to mimic the bulb lens Then painted black & masked for silver. Plan B is to smoke the clear light covers. Plan C is to fill in the holes I've drilled & spray them silver, but I'm sure it won't come to that.

Interior is now complete, the dash has been assembled but haven't got a pick yet. It has flocked flooring, PE speakers and pedals

Finished the polishing - not burnt through anywhere - which is also a first! no touching up at all. Final masting, spraying / detailing and then final assembly to follow. I am well chuffed, the pictures do not do the paint job justice, it looks brighter and in scale flakes in real life... After polishing pictures I tried to get 1 shot in natural light, but it was couldy.

This received a base coat of Aston Martin Intense Blue from Proscale paints, followed by a few coats of 2K clear - also from proscale. This is my first use of their 2K. I broadly followed their instructions and it laid down well. It did have orange peel - which can be seen on one of the 3 images. The other 2 images show the contamination that floated into the paint during painting. This was sanded & polished over the weekend, pictures to follow soon!

Hi Noah, the other one is a Ferrari Enzo, thanks for the comments, appreciated!

That's coming together quickly, looking great!

I like what you did with the heat lights, the paint looks in scale too!

That top coat went on silky smooth! Great car, fantastic build!

It's a cool truck!

That is great! Paint finish looks superb and the windows came out perfectly too!

Beautiful build! Thanks for sharing...
