  1. Really love the look of silver A-pillars on Roadster R8. So thought i might add a bit of silver to my R8 too So, did some tapework (a bit overkill, i know): Then did some silver painting Did a custom mix with Tamiya gunmetal and some random black i had laying around And this is how it turned out. Looks pretty cool
  2. Thank you! They're far from perfect, but i try my best
  3. Weird, the forum is acting up for me a bit, but lets try this again Did some bodywork - At first, did some wetsanding and priming Then some more wetsanding And some more priming And finally some painting:
  4. Did some more progress. Noticed that the dash doesn't have the circular navigation button. This was bothering me more than it probably should 😁 So, dipped the whole dash into dot4. After that, i took a scrap piece from another kit (an axle piece from Revell's Charger kit) and glued it onto the dash like a little horn 😁 After letting it dry for a bit, i sanded it down And re-painted the dash Came out looking like its from the box Then did some flocking and painting Then some glueing ....and some more glueing.... And testfitted the dash Looks like a nice little interior already
  5. Did some work on the interior. Custom mixed something for the tub and seats Came out pretty nice. The dash also got a coat of satin black Then did some tapework And some more painting
  6. That interior has a really cool looking shade of cream! What color is it? Was trying to paint mine something similar, but had to do a custom mix. Don't know yet if i like mine. My kit definitely has some issues - some parts are bent, but the worst part is the seats and interior tub. They have some weird spots on them. Seems they came off from really bad mould, really weird. Anyway, lets kick off this build! First, glued the engine together: Added the cam covers: Then the coilpacks: And finally the intake manifold. The correct way would be to paint the center part of the manifold flat black, but i did mine in red 😁 Wanted to add a bit of contrast into the engine bay. Might look cool in the end. And testfitted it together Came out pretty cool
  7. Thank you guys
  8. Thanks! Will keep in mind.
  9. Lets start another build Had this kit laying around so thought i'd give it a go. This was one of my very first car kits i ever tried to build when it first came out (but gave up). So this is somewhat of a redemption build for myself. The challenge with this kit is that its bent pretty badly. So lets see if i'm able to get all 4 wheels to the ground 😁 Thanks for following!
  10. Hi! My last two Lamborghini builds went quite well. So, decided to pick up another one and torture myself a bit with a harder kit. This time, the legendary Aventador Roadster. A really cool looking Lambo. I have some ideas i would like to try, but we'll see. Won't do anything crazy like paint it in pink or neon green. Will stay true to the real ones. Kit itself seems good. My first Aoshima kit. Looks definitely more challenging than the Revell kits - not so sure about my skill level so let's see if i can even finish this one So I will probably take my time with it and will probably take up some easier Revell kit too. Theres another monster in my stash still waiting for me to give it a go. Won't touch it yet, but if i'm able to finist both of these - i won't consider myself as a beginner anymore 😎 But enough talking - time to get busy!
  11. Hi! Havent really done any yellow cars before So this is my first one - the '03 Lambo Gallardo And a family picture with its bigger sister
  12. And here we go Got the body clearcoated Also got the interior together And some work on the lights and windows Had my fair share of trouble trying to get the underside on And finally got it together Nice and easy quick build. See you at my other threads!
  13. Did some sanding Then some priming And some more And finally, some painting
  14. Did some painting
  15. Thank you guys 😃
  16. Supercars are so cool! Time to take up another Lambo This time the Murcielago's younger brother, the Gallardo. Won't try anything crazy - just a cool classical look. So lets see how this one goes
  17. Who havent dreamt of owning a supercar as a kid? I know i have! One of my all time favourites are Lamborghinis. So, heres my Lamborghini 😁 Just like i've always wanted. Parked next to my Ferrari 288 GTO 🙃 Okay, enough joking 😁 Kit is an older Fujimi's. Great kit - had some trouble with decals, but nothing major. Came out pretty nice!
  18. Aaaaand its ready to drive into the sunset 😁
  19. Did some more work Engine bay is pretty much done - some decals left to do
  20. I have the rapidbike adapting fueling module installed on mine - helps out a lot. Anyway, the body is clearcoated Came out pretty nice. Would've liked it to be a bit more orange, but i really like it this way too.
  21. Best looking exhaust ever on the VFR - the OEM one! (dont hate me)
  22. Spring is here! Finally can enjoy some nice sunny weather and my other hobby This doesn't mean that i'm taking a break from models Did some more work on the Murcielago
  23. Thank you guys!
  24. Got this one done! 😁 Had my fare share of trouble. Did some mistakes here and there that i can definitely improve. But came out good enough
  25. Done! 😁
