  1. Fantastic build Matt, and mirrors for photos worked really well! Very artistic
  2. Beautifully finished mr G!
  3. Looking cool!
  4. Never seen one of these being built, it looks great so far, interesting colour combo!
  5. Thanks Nigel, im worried about going through the clear coat where the decals are, but should be minimal!
  6. 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
  7. In my experience, these revell kits lack moulding sharpness and detail... so this stand-out build is amazing. Beautifully finished!
  8. Window tint looks fine. I cant think of a more 80s looking car than that! Love it! Strange there's no engine though
  9. Turned out just great!
  10. Cool integra, i always wanted one of these!
  11. Superb! I guess your house move got completed!
  12. 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...
  13. Cool looking ferrari! Finished quickly too!
  14. 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
  15. Thanks Dann, appreciate it!
  16. 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...
  17. Probably the only non OOB thing i'll do is add this cross beam - made out of sprue from the kit
  18. Chassis is now painted, with Tamiya Flat black, hand painted details using Tamiya Acrylics and then a coating of Semi-matt clear.
  19. 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!
  20. 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
