Very well executed, and nice solution for the steering!
-
Builds up into a sweet looking kit, and the pinky red is nice
-
Eleanor is another favourite of mine, you build is great!
-
Mr Rider, it looks that way! The rubber on this kit is very corrosive! Agree, the food was fiddly, thanks for the comments!
-
That paint work is amazing!
-
Fantastic progress on this!
-
Great finish!

Unfortunately the plastic pins broke during disassembly so I have to just glue them back as best I could, it no longer rolls, but that's not an issue, it does only sit on 3 wheels now, but it looks a lot better. This took loads of time, but it's great to save an old build!

Coming along quickly now, excellent build and progress! -
I think this is your best build yet, looks great, and the color really pops in the Sun. Excellent!

It's a beaut, expertly finished as always!

PORSCHE 907 K - Scratchbuilt from 908 LH body.
Funkychiken replied to PAULO FIOTE's topic in Model Cars
Excellent build! -
It's looking sharp so far.
-
This is looking excellent! I'm sure you already do, but please take precautions, don't inhale the dust, it's dangerous! This build is going to be amazing!
-
Thanks Dann, hope you are doing well and flexing your building skills

I don't have an image of how bad it has come out - but far worse than the 1st side. This is an image of it during application - with the setting solution... I used warm water. Setting solution for under the decal & Softening solution for on top of the decal & used a hair dryer to make it more supple during drying....
-
Thanks for the tip, but I couldn't find any. i went with "DACO PRODUCTS" Decal Setting solution STRONG. I then tried to get the other side done... and failed miserably! the 2nd side is worse, so I'm going to have to strip them. I might try and print my own decals, I always take a scan of decal sets prior to use (just in case) but this is the first time I've really messed up a set!
-
it's been lightly sanded, and will now get Cobalt blue Lacquer on top... I can already predict that it will also receive an unwanted layer of dust... but I'm not looking ofr perfection - just want to get a kit done this year!
-
So this is where it's at now, the Alclad II Bright Silver Base has been applied. The spoon test received 2 light coats, and looks great with a black/silver look to it, but I couldn't replicate this on the body shell - it was too difficult to get it even. it ended us so patchy that eventually it has ended up just silver. I'm hoping it will still look good though.
-
The body was sprayed with Zero Primer - a few coats and some very light sanding. I'm using a new bottle of zero grey primer, and have found that I need to thin it down by about 20 to 30%. Never happened to me before, but look on the bright side - it'll last longer! Then there were several light coats of Zero gloss black. it came out smooth to the touch, but looks textured!?
-
The chassis in the instructions is difficult to understand - it looks like it is all in the body colour. The images on line do show that most of it probably is finished in the body colour. But I decided to do mine in a mixture of semi-gloss black & the body colour. Masked & ready to go!

So I havn't posted in a while, as I was going to move house... it's still on the cards, but we are currently trying to re-finance & teh mortgage company is not easy to deal with! Anyhow, most of my stuff was packed a month ago, but with the delay, I sneaked some of it out & re-started this car... all thw components have been stripped from sprues & are in progress. I was debating on colour, and have decided to go woth Alclad II Cobalt Blue. the spoon test is half with black base & half without, the black base looks way better, so that's what I decided to do!
-
Sweet finish on that paint, you're on the home straight now!
-
sweet!!!!
