Great that you are back on this build Dann!

Looks like amazing progress, good luck! Did you create it in CAD yourself, buy the design, or backwards engineer from a 24th scale kit?

Fugimi Lamborghini Countache 5000 qv: WIP
Funkychiken replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
This is a great build, and loved reading through all the history... I too had this car on my wall as a child! I think I built this kit when I was about 12, loved it and want to do another... I like you added details like the shim for the wing mirrors or the acetate for the instruments. -
That coat looks really shiny! And no polishing yet
-
The New stang looks great, but that's a good question! How are you going to do the glass?

Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa 1:24 90s Magic!
Funkychiken replied to Funkychiken's topic in WIP: Model Cars
The Body shell was masked 5 separate times to paint the brack bits/trim for the rear light area, windshield surround, side trim around the windows and the front lip. it has been re-polished with Nuvous 2 & 1. then I've hand painted the interior of the engne bay flat black, and used tamiya smoke acrylic for the panel lines (this is why I had to re-polish - to celan up the over application - I almost runied the clear coat rubbing with IPA trying to remove the excess). the pop up head lamps stick, as they are rubbing with the body. I did check this before painting and they were fine. But with the paint build up, it was enough to tip it over. The clar parts are of poor quality, lots of stress marks and moulding witness marks, but they have just been polished and installed. I have struggled to glue them in, the PVA didn't stick to the tamiya gloss overspray, so I've had to stuff some Superglue in there. I did mask & spray the black lines on the lights, both front & back. the rear lights came out great, but you an't see them through the grill. the front ones are a bit too thick. nevermind, this is still much better than my efforts hand painting these black lines. I've added an after market Ferrari script on the engine bay & now its ready for final assembly. Next up will be finished shots. -
Hi Gary, looks very much like what I used to doodle draw & sketch when I was a child, but yours look like they have a lot more technical skill! You should certainly try to pick it up again, I know I want to!
