Modelhobby in Luleå ?

I was browsing my kind of local hobby store today and found myself a Tamiya Aston Martin DBS For a decent price 54£. Was looking at eBay and saw they were taking over hundred pounds so I believe I got a decent deal. I didn’t intend to buy a model but I couldn’t resist since it was the DBS dot I were at the factory in 2006 For three weeks and built the 1:1 db9. And also rode in a bunch of Astons Through the press garage at the factory.I even had great luck to be able to work on one of those with disassembling the whole driveline to be able to change some parts. So I couldn’t pass up on this kit! And I might need to get a full photo etched for it...

Nice build! Looks cool! Looking forward to you progress!

Looking cool! Will be watching this!

Awesome scratch building and milling in such small and thin pieces! Great work will be following this one and learn a Ton!

Excellent Work!! Love the first do death! Just love the details! Back drop is killer as well!!

Thanks, feels nice to try to finnish it! And tackel the paint is gona be a ashivement for me. Great tip! Will get it from my "local", 250km away, hobby store on monday. Gona try it out when fabing the other small window.

Looks cool! nice mods on the grill.

Wow another build from you! You are realy working hard on modeling! Great build as always! Gona be realy cool with all details and look killer with those Wheels and tyres!

Another of my old WIP's that i have brought out from the storage. I am working with this one on the side of the Supra wide body. It's a Tamiya Porsche GT2 I started it back in 2008. Anyway, I had already cut the door out made the chassis, and painted most of the body and chassis and made some assembling. I took it up where I left and started detailing it, realized after a while that the paint is to bad to continue. Back then I did not have anywhere to spray during winter. So I was kind of lazy about it, probobly the reason i stoped building models as well. Right now i am finnishing of my paint both wich is gona be awesome with down draft front cover and built in lights and vent to the outside. I am going down in tire diameter or wheel size in the rear since they look to big. What i have to do now is to remove decals, mask and respray the boddy. There is to much collor differences between the door and the body, hard to see but you can se the dot also on the door. First session i started mocking and do some detailing. And Then i aded some glass and window trim. Will try to mask them off. Lights have been removed again so i can paint the inside. Any tip on good glue to glue windows and glass? I have been using normal wood glue from the hardware stoore but i am not satisfyed with the results. Last three pics are when i realized the paint aint no good.. saw this when i was ading the door. After some more work being done to it. Door test, collors are off.. Will do the respray these comming days. //Anton

Great update. nice to se the work process and its good inspiration and know how so to speak!

Great build as always! First time I se a early 2gen t-top. Have only seen the face lift version with It. And trans am of course, but I have believe they open more than yours.

Looks killer with the body on! I guess the rear shocks will be displayed as they are now and thats gona look crazy good!

Holy CR**P! Thats some nice details! Awesome machining work there! What an inspiration! And if you would have taken the pictures with an other background it would have been mistaken for the real deal! Even brackets for bumper with screws... insane!

Nice progress! Love how the chassis look with all the details!

Wow! Great jobb there!! loks amazingly real! looks like a good kit!

I have been thinking of wheels on this ride. I have two options. "19 Advan Racing GT With extra wide lip in rear from an other wheel Or the "19 Work Gnosis also with extra deep lip in back. Please help me decide. Note that i have no good experience with puting chrome to the wheels so that might have a bad look on the Gnosis. I have never used Alclad and dont have it eiter.

As i said before! absolutley beautifull!

I always get impressed with your skills dan! And how much details you put in the model! And this is no exeption! Just stunning! I will be following this as your other builds! For inspiration i can send you this one: A swedish guy that have a Pantera with a Hemi that is far from stock. He have also made a book about chassis. https://www.garaget.org/?car=40839 http://www.hemipanter.se

Really good looking build you have there! Nice to build it with vinyl top and also no wing and such. I am a fan of cowl hood and wing but like how your look!

Thanks guys! I am more in to American muscle cars in real life but really enjoy any beautiful car with the right proportions. Did some some progress, I filled the holes in the bonnet. And I realized that epoxy putty needs to be newer than 15 years to work good. Gladly the standard type worked like a charm! Also mocked with a set of 19”s that I hade laying around and I will order a n other set of 19 since they fit much better in the arc. Thanks //Anton

Beautiful build!

Very beautifull build! Love how you stretched and modifyed the boddy! Great result!

Exactly! Experience is always great! And you will also have the wheels for an other build further on!

Looks really good in silver with black wheels! Good work on the paint job! Great save on the broken wheel as well, sad that it didn’t work out with them though! Looks sharp never the less!!
