Bill Eh?

Very refreshing to see purpose-built dioramas of such outstanding quality. Masterpieces in miniature.

Somebody who: a) doesn't care is an eBay newb c) is being cheap with shipping materials / costs LOL

Nice score Chris. Wish I could do that well at garage sales.

Robert this is a great model. One heck of a decal job you did.

I too saw the movie last night, with some friends who are F1 enthusiasts. I thought the movie was very well done. As Dale said, Hasegawa has a great version of the 312T2. If you combined that with Tamiya's M23 (which is being rereleased), you could create an interesting diorama.

A few more names of individuals who will attend; Alex Kung, Peter McDonald, and myself.

Chris, for Tamiya acrylics, I use Tamiya acrylic thinner. For just about everything else, (cheap) lacquer thinner. Every type and brand has its own characteristics as to thinning ratios. As Mike said, start with 1:1 and go from there; either more thinner or less thinner. Heck, even within some paint lines, you have to thin differently depending on which colour your spraying; different colour pigments can each have a different viscosity.

Hey Chris, if you are thinking about an Iwata Neo, then if you could stretch the budget a little further, then consider the Iwata Revolution CR. Are you going to the Group 25 contest next weekend?

Getting the spacing and proportion of painted stripes correct is a tough challenge. You succeeded very well. Great job on the Mustang.

A beautiful Jag to be sure. Nice to see that it is actually wearing the proper 'Silk Cut' decals. Great build; please post many more in the future.

As with all of your other posted completions, this one too is a beauty.

As I have the same kit; yes it is a 1/24 Revell Germany kit.

Ken, one more that you might find interesting: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=9f6c27b259004dc16bb6402c7e1ed54d&f=926 Just realized that my link takes you to the same forum that Joseph posted.

Welcome to the forum Stanislav. Looks to be an interesting build so far. I'll be along for the ride.

I really like the meticulous detailing under the hood. What a fantastic build.

Very nice Mazda Miata MX-5 NB. The body colour/soft top colour go well together. As the car was designed to be as light-weight as possible, the appearance of the ten spoke wheels best match that thinking in my opinion. It looks like the six spoke whites are larger in diameter and to me don't suit the car as well. I will enjoy following this one. Thanks for posting.

Tamas, you've hit another home run with this beauty. Exceptional paintjob.

Either way with the ride height, this looks to be the start of a great build. The Silvia is an awesome looking machine. Will follow your progress.

Mitchell, this is definitely a cool build. I have a few of the Rosso 1/43 NSXs. They are amazing little jewels. Never new this was basically a 'snap' style kit. The detail is quite impressive. You are the first person that I have seen actually building this kit. LOL

I love the story-telling style that you have used to convey your build progress. Everything looks super thus far. As far as window tint. Try "Future" or as it is now called in Canada, "Pledge with Future Shine". This could be coloured with food colouring and brushed or sprayed on the interior of the window parts. If sprayed on, just make sure to clean out the airbrush immediately after. Test it out on a clear section of sprue runner from the kit. If you are unhappy with the result, it will clean off with Isopropyl Alcohol. Worth a try. Good luck with the rest of the build. And as Tom said, there are a number of individuals on the Forum who appreciate all good builds. I am kind of a Tamiya fanatic myself.

Welcome aboard Saif. As you can tell from Harry's Google search link, there are many hobby stores in Toronto. Some are specifically geared towards remote control, while others have more of a kit focus. Even amongst the shops that specialize in kits, some have more of an automotive selection than others. It depends on where you live as well. Some of the shops I like: Wheels and Wings Hobbies - Danforth near Woodbine (east central) * good car selection Hornet Hobbies - O'Connor south of Eglinton (east central) * improving car selection Hobby King - Highway 7 east of Woodbine area (east north) limited car selection Dragon Hobby - Gerrard east of Broadview (central) good car selection Panther Hobbies & Trains - Dundas west of Highway 427 area (west central) good car selection Dailey Hobbies - Thickson north of Dundas St E (Whitby) good car selection. There are many more shops in the GTA. My two favourites are are marked with an asterisk. Hope this helps.

Fred, might I be correct in assuming pro touring with some seriously wide rubber?

A purchase from Kijiji: 5 Tamiya kits, 1 sportscar and 4 Formula 1 kits: Ferrari 360 Modena, Ferrari F1-2000, Ferrari F2001, Ferrari F310B, and McLaren Mercedes MP4/13 All kits SI $40 CAN or about £25 And BTW, very nice score on the Tamiya Escort RS Cosworth Tomo :)

Thanks Antonio.

Antonio, very nice sets of Aoshima wheels. I really like the Vienna's. May I ask, where do you order your wheel sets from?
