Chris Smith

Thanks guy. Most appreciative

So... After thinking I was going to get some major part accomplished on this build. I got out smarted by the instructions. The main body, has two parts. So I had everything painted and was applying decals thinking that all I need to do was attach the bottom portion to the main structure. Well....Nope! The big number decal that sits on the side is too big for the main structure. So I needed to attach the bottom part. After trying to do this it all went to hell! I glued the two half’s together and filled in the seams, wile doing this I sanded all the detail off of the body ☹️ So I did some searching for what some would say is a lazy way to fix my detail problem. I found some resin rivets for trains, so I bought some and I am going to give it a try Wish me luck, I may get this thing in color again soon

The Ferrari is looking awesome ?

Nice. I may have to give it a try on my next project

How does the chrome work? looks fantastic

Are you catching up on some needed sleep?

Looks cool. Now I wonder why I didn’t pay attention in math class....lol Looking forward on your next post

Keep up the good fight. Rooting for you all the way

Sounds like you have found yourself a good friend to help achieve your dream kit. keep up the stellar work. one day I would love to have a chance to build one

Looking awesome ? Hope you can get some rest when your done!

Very cool

It’s bad a$$

I have not attempted to reapply the one decal that I got wet and attempted to put on. I did put it back on the paper, so we will see ?

Thanks LOL.... 67 I am almost that old ?

Thank you!! At least you had the opportunity to get you FIA License!! Yea, I am a big sports car fan.. by then again I am a fan of forms of cars and race cars. I am a Ferrari fan, but I am a fan of quality drivers and motor sports history.

So after an exhausting time of stripping the paint off of the main body and re priming it with grey instead of white. I got the correct color tone that matches the rest of the car. I found this out when I was laying down decals. I noticed that some of the decals are bigger and I need to put the bottom half of the main part together. I realized that the base primer I used was white and not grey, so the tone was lighter than it should have been....ooops ? now I am back to where I started. For those of you who are checking in Than you ! Mooneyes a big Thank you for listening and encouraging me. Chris

Looking good sir!

The moment you realize the paint doesn’t match ???

Thank you! I am waiting to put on the trumpets after I install the engine

Found some time to build rear uprights and rear brakes

Try Hiroboy.com they are in England found at lot of stuff there that is not found here in the states

Small up date. Weather is not cooperating....too cold to any type of painting. Also I had to order paint because my local Hobbyshop closed.

I am in total awe! I am still amazed at your perseverance and attention to detail. I want to commend you on a brilliant job, well done sir. Seeing this makes me want to be a better modeler. I hope some day soon I can build something this exceptional Chris.

Do you have time to eat and sleep!? This build is amazing! If you had a class on how to do weathering I would sit in the front row

Keep up the good fight Sir..I am sure when your project finally gets done, you’ll do another outstanding job on the next one ?
