Yes, I can take a few photos that are better, for fun, but it is nowhere as detailed as yours is. -

Peugeot 905 evo bis
steveracer replied to Chris Smith's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
How many parts to this kit? I may be messed up but thought that I saw a raw resin photo of just a few parts, but must be another thread? How did you get the fluid bottles to look clear and with fluid inside? That is awesome! I love this car, it looks so purposeful and fast, but hard to believe it is over 30 years old. Better than the hypercar stuff today. Am watching, looks great!- 20 replies

Monogram early Indy car

Perfect start for the Month of May! Love it! -
How did you create the mold or master for the body? It is so much different from the Chevelle, other than the greenhouse.

steveracer replied to MarkJ's topic in WIP: NASCAR
I am confused, the headline is Chevy yet the model in the photos is a Mercury.... I like both, so what is up? -
No problem! I am watching and posted on the Mears car, not sure if it is ok to put a photo of my build there or not for "inspiration" but you don't really need inspiration! I will look for the Marmon Wasp, that car is really big, and don't forget to put a small puddle of oil under the model when done for realism....

I will be watching the build! I built this car what, 25 plus years ago, and still looks great! The one thing that confuses me is that my model has the standard open wheels, like on the box art, yet the side view on the box art shows a different variant of the aero wheels that you see in the race day photo of the front row start. I probably picked the deep dish due to my preference for looks. Nonetheless, Ismael, the car builds up beautifully and the cover fits nicely over the engine with a little underside sculpting if I remember. I also glued the upper and floor together, puttied them together to get rid of the horizontal seam. I am sure you will be detailing the daylights out of this one....will be fun to watch. I painted mine Testors yellow and then put future floor wax over the decals and body work....because I figured the Future would yellow over time, but who cares! :)

What clearcoat did you use? fwiw I have had tamiya tape “craze”the tamiya paints even after a week or so of dry time. Wish this wasn’t a common occurrence. love the subject matter, the best design of the “street car prototype” era! -
Sauber Mercedes C9
steveracer replied to kensar's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Hope you can add the front nose body panel, and fill it in with putty so the nose looks good without joint lines. The main reason when I opened the kit 35 years ago, I put it back in the box and it stayed there, lol. Surprised Tamiya designed it that way. So I built a Starter 1/43 version instead... Do it proud, will follow along! -

Beautiful engine detail! Need another kit just to display the engine next to the car! Awesome skills! -

steveracer replied to Dave B's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
One of my favorite cars. Just a beautiful tiny car with a glorious engine. So, for those NITK... What kit is this What scale Who is Phil How did they cast the engine detail in and under that chassis detail -
This model looks great! I commend you on the flat black application and especially the taping, which must have taken an hour or so. When I use Tamiya tapes, and others, I still get etching on the clear because the tape is on the surface for at least that hour of prep time, and the adhesive attacks the clearcoat. Yours looks great, and I recommend a little dulling down as you mention as these cars were never "shiny" and as soon as they hit the first stage, they come into their own with a "competition patina".

LOL, not everyone is on Facebook! This modeling site is much better organized and useful than the banter over there, so I hear.

Maybe I missed it. What tires and rims, which look different, are on the left?
