I started assembling the chassis with the engine, radiator, rear differential and the exhaust system. I painted the suspension plates and the disc brakes. More AMG GT to come...

The President of my Model Club gave me this Gravity Tri-Coat Solarburst Yellow paint for a good price. Thank you Paul! I didn't have any Gloss Black Lacquer paint for the wheels, so I used Testors Enamel Gloss Black paintI hope it doesn't let me down! I painted the chassis with Tamiya Matt Black. Now to let this all dry. More AMG GT to come...

Thank you Mario, Helmut, Carl and Eric!

I had stripped the wheels of chrome in prep for some Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black paint. The grille and the exhaust tips got a coating of Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black and taillights got a coating of Tamiya X-27 Clear Red. More AMG GT to come...

Thanks Douglas! A friend of mine has offered me an actual Mercedes tri-level paint in Solarbeam Yellow. This is a base coat, mid coat and clear. I will have to check it out first.

I have finished my Original Mini Cooper and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

This is my Original Mini Cooper. I guess that the year of this car is around 1964 and I built it box stock and out-of-the-box. I used Tamiya TS-26 Pure White for the roof and Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red for the body and Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear over everything.

Thanks Carl! Filling the gaps with the red Sharpie worked and I am very pleased! Tomorrow I'll polish the paint!
-
Thanks Dann! To fill the gaps where the paint ran away, I found a red Sharpie that is close to the Pure Red I used and sharpened the tip and I traced the door openings. Now for a polishing with Novus 2 to see what I got.

I clearcoated my Mini Cooper and I am for the most part, not happy! I washed, air-dryed, primered and painted the Mini and when I clearcoated the body, the paint ran away from the door edges. Arrgh! More Mini to come...

It seems as though this Mini Cooper model is fighting me! I went and scratch-built seat belt receivers to go with the seat belt decals. Then, the steering wheel and column fell out. I have rebuilt the right front suspension since it broke (my fault) and I wonder what is next! Clear coating the body is next and hopefully I won't screw that up!

In case you may have been wondering, I have not abandoned my Blasphemi project. With the passing of a member of the Classic Plastic Model Club, I have a need to work on Blasphemi and finish it for our Expo in October. Our late member had a love for '55 Chevys and the goal is for me to finish mine for our Show. I assembled the wheels and tires which came from my parts box. The Hemi engine is partially assembled and awaiting to be painted. I hand painted some of the chrome parts including the grille which I know to be incorrect. I have to get some PE material for the grille. More Blasphemi to come...

Thanks Matt, Noel, Carl, D. Schittenhelm and David! I must admit that this Mini Cooper is going together faster than I thought it would. Time to add some additional details!

A mockup to check my work. Other than the fit of the hood (bonnet), everything looks good! The hood fit can use some adjustment. More Mini to come...

I painted the body and other pieces with Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red, the roof with Tamiya TS-26 Pure White, A second coat for the interior platform with Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black. Now to let this dry and maybe a couple of coats of Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear to be added. More Mini to come...
