  1. That's a striking colour combo, beautiful build!
  2. This is a very cool build, would not have believed that a v-dub transporter would carry an F1 car until o saw those pictures!
  3. Beautiful details on this build. Great looking truck
  4. Nice finish on the body, that colour looks great too!
  5. Pretty cool scratch building work there!
  6. Looks great, the 2k clear coat looks perfect!
  7. Fantastic build Matt, and mirrors for photos worked really well! Very artistic
  8. Beautifully finished mr G!
  9. Looking cool!
  10. Never seen one of these being built, it looks great so far, interesting colour combo!
  11. Thanks Nigel, im worried about going through the clear coat where the decals are, but should be minimal!
  12. This has had a coat of Zero Grey Primer A coat of thinned Zero Black (it was called gloss black, but these lacquer base coats always turn out in a satin finish then masked the black bits and coated in Aston Martin Blue - the same proscale paint used on my Mazda Mx5 - It was difficult to get an even coating, so i probably applied too much & coated the black too thick. But its good enough for me, I waan't going to go over it again... then applied decals - added a few additional decals to fill the gaps. I did use Microsol, and that left stains, when I cleaned the car for top coating, the decals came loose, so had to try to re-stick with microsol... eventually coated in Proscale 2k - this time I did add a little Mr Color self levelling thinner. The result as seen is not as deep a colour as the spoon test, but a darker blue than the MX5, the gloss top coat is orange peely, and has a few pits, but minimal dust - which is a bonus - I was woried about sanding / polishing the paint with the decal underneath. Next up is polishing.... https://images2.imgbox.com/a4/89/r3yiF4lg_o.jpg
  13. In my experience, these revell kits lack moulding sharpness and detail... so this stand-out build is amazing. Beautifully finished!
  14. Window tint looks fine. I cant think of a more 80s looking car than that! Love it! Strange there's no engine though
  15. Turned out just great!
  16. Cool integra, i always wanted one of these!
