  1. Hi Mike, I've searched the internet and found very little. We'll see how it goes.
  2. Hello, having finished the chassis topic, we continue with the interior. Looking at the pieces that come prepainted for the interior that are matte red, I see that I have 3 or 4 shades of red, so I will try to remove the paint to unify the color.
  3. Hello, we started by placing the engine block covers made with a hole punch we continued by adding the compressor made with the parts tree with sheets we make the engine block we give it shape and volume by adding parts we place the filters, starter and alternator also made with parts tree Next we make two holes to assemble the intake manifold, made with sheets and 2mm rod With part of the tree we continue towards the air filter, making the bends of the hose with heat shrink With 1mm sheet we make two blocks that make up the filter holder With sheet we make the fan and the radiator. We see the whole and what was once a hole, changed It does not have much detail since the hood will not open.
  4. Thank Carl
  5. Thanks Marcel.
  6. Hi, I started with everything related to the chassis, following the steps in the manual, cutting the pieces step by step. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 After preparing the pieces, I painted and glued them Rear axle Exhausts Front axle While pre-assembling I found this gap, we'll see how we can fix it.
  7. Comments on the model are much appreciated.
  8. Feedback on the model is much appreciated. Thank you very much.
  9. Hi Ulf, I use Google Translate. I'll post my progress soon.
  10. Hi Tom, I hope this post inspires you.
  11. Hi Doug, nothing to say except spectacular work.
  12. Hi Donato, a thousand pictures are worth more than a word
  13. Hi Gregory, have you posted it on the forum?
  14. Hello, this is my first assembly post so it will be tedious for me as English is not my native language. The model I want to make is a BMW Z3 M Roadster, so I will start with the Revell model that I got; this kit comes prepainted but they haven't removed the plastic burrs, so it will have to be stripped. I find the interior difficult to modify in terms of colors so I will see if I can get as close as possible to the color to make modifications if necessary. I managed to get the instructions for the two Revell models, Roadster and Coupe, and Dragon one. The decals are stickers so I had decals made with a laser printer. This is the goal We'll see how it goes.
  15. Hi, this will help many people who make their own decals with a laser printer. I have consulted the person who should have done it in the first instance, the manufacturer, and he told me that it is not necessary to apply anything on top, to cut it from the support, moisten it and apply it. Many thanks to the forum members who participated to clear up my doubts on this subject.
  16. What I have noticed is that JPEG images do not maintain pixels, being visible in large areas, as is the case with this topic.
  17. Thank you very much for the comments, they are greatly appreciated.
  18. Hello Marcel, I ask you a question when I see your work done in 3D printing, approximately how many hours did it take you to design, sitting in front of the PC? I intend to make a car that way and with your contribution I would have an idea of the time.
  19. With refilled cartridges
  20. The only problem I had with printing decals was when I used refilled cartridges, with everything original I never had problems. I show another example
  21. Hello, I had an HP 3420 printer, and I also print my own decals, but I never had printing problems. I did tests modifying the printing properties, the upper decal is made in economical common paper, the middle one in optimal photographic quality common paper and the lower quality optimal photographic paper. Always use the Paint program, BMP files.
  22. Hello, thank you very much for your answers, very kind. As I mentioned previously, I purchased laser-printed decals and friends recommended that I apply a coat of protective paint to them. I understood that it was not necessary since the printing mechanism is totally different from inkjet, which is why I asked in this forum. Now I have the same doubts as before, some tell me yes, others say no. I don't know what to do.
  23. Hello, I bought this kit to give to my friend Daniel. I wanted it yellow with matte black lines, so it is painted with golden yellow and black acrylic, varnished with glossy and matte wood varnish for the lines. I put it together in 2019.
  24. Hello, thank you very much for your words. Steve, I used Humbrol but I don't remember the code, then I'll look to see if I can find the container inside the paint box; on the green it has Tamiya Enamel Clear. The hinges are practicable and I made steering front wheels.
