That color and the decals make it look like a real period piece from back in the day. It really looks great.

Well done. That really looks the part. This is a great kit from Tamiya that literally falls together.

The weathering set against a new set of white walls and rims really sets it apart. The whole model is very well done.

real eye candy

Tower Hobbies is showing a Feb release http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDDNN&P=SM http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDDNS&P=SM

I was thinking of it as the boot lid

They look like the rims may not be deep enough. particularly the rear rims. The biggest issue though is they are only 16" diameter where as the 993 GT2 is18". These are the Scale Production rims shown on another forum.

I thought they were real. Very creative.

I machined those rims from aluminum on my bench lathe then polished them. Scale Production showed some Rauh Welt wheels that had resin centres and aluminum rims on another forum recently but they aren't listed on their website yet http://www.scaleproduction.de/index.php?cat=c10_Wheels-Tires-1-24-Wheels-Tires-1-24.html&XTCsid=c9da03fcde3d83a1064d5537bd19100b&cPath=10&page=1 As for mounting the RWB mesh on the trunk lid I simply taped the piece of photo etch to the lid in the correct position then sprayed a light coat of black through it. i then cut out where the letters were and permanently glued the etch to the trunk lid and blended it in with body putty. Once priimed and painted I just got a fine paint brush and some Tamiya enamel and filled in the RWB lettering.

That is a very clean build. The color scheme suits the car perfectly too. Well done

Thats coming along nicely Brandon. Just take your time and test fit everything. My biggest issue was getting the body shell to sit properly on the assembled chassis. The Tamiya chassis just falls together but my resin body shell was thicker than the Tamiya body leading to interference. It took me some time to determine where the interference points were and to grind the inside of the shell so it seated properly. I didn't do a build thread on mine. i've got mine painted and am currently polishing it.

I can't say much other than Perfect. You should be proud of that one.

Nice. I like the colors and the whitewalls finish it off perfectly. Well Done

Thats a nicely co ordinated blend of different techniques. Well built.

Thats turned out great. Well done.

Thats an unique interpretation of the Slingster. Well done

This one goes back a few years now. I built it when Revell first released the 32 HighBoy

It really looks the part now.

I always just spray the primer on to a piece of the sprue from the kit then spray the paint i'm using and look for any adverse reaction. I'd only use a sealer if the plastic showed signs of the paint ' biting ' in to it.

You certainly bought that back from the grave. Well done.

I've always thinned my enamels, acrylics and lacquers with Tamiyas' plastic friendly Lacquer thinner. Its also a great paint remover as it works like regular lacquer thinners but isn't Hot so wont damage the plastic. I do all my cleanup with the regular cheap lacquer thinners from the local hardware/ auto parts store. http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/paints-finishes-60/tamiya-maintenance-material-62000/lacquer-thinner-250ml-87077

I'm wondering what the future will be for the V8 Supercar series. With Ford and Holden both closing the traditional rivalry on the track and amongst the fans will be lost. http://www.v8supercars.com.au/

Looks a treat. Well done

The quality of your example looks to be far better than the one i've got here. Mine is No 49/ 300. I had read where C1 Models had changed its resin caster. it looks for the better too. My example is molded in a dark grey resin and has required a huge amount of work, particularly around the front and rear windscreens to get to a useable state. All the resin parts in mine were very ' softly ' molded. By that I mean all the sharp edges are rounded and required a lot of work to sharpen things up. The biggest issue I've faced is although the C1body shell is molded off the Tamiya shell nothing from the Tamiya donor kit will fit it without work. Its like the C1 Shell has shrunk to 1/25 scale in the molding process making all of the 1/24 scale Tamiya donor parts too big. It will be interesting to follow your build and see how your one comes together

This project is thinking outside the square. Very interesting and well done.
