That is jaw-droppingly good!
-
Got to say, that is an awesome piece of work for 48 hours! Good job.
-
That is an awesome build. The lights add so much extra to it. Just picking my jaw up from the floor...

The best source for new models
Mirage replied to Mirage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's what I love about this site. Ask a question and get several quality answers back! Thanks to all of you. -
Hi, can anyone recommend a good website to find out about all the new releases? The Revell official site is terrible. Thanks in advance for any advice!
-
Thanks for the tip Guy. There is a Halfords near me I can think of.
-
Sorry, not of the actual problem itself. It occurred as I was fixing the chassis on and I was in too much of a hurry to glue it back together to take a photo.
-
Thanks Steve! It was a pleasure.
-
Thanks Brizio! Rob , I have seen the London Bus in one of our local shops and it looks like a mammoth task. Would love to see the photos of that assembly. Rest assured, the R8 Spyder is on my hit list!

All the way through the painting and basic assembly this is a really enjoyable kit. It has the perfect combination of logical components and challenging painting. The frustration comes when fitting the chassis to the base. The exhausts simply do not fit through the holes in the real fender. In the recent assembly I just did this caused the back section to break off and I had to glue it back on. This was a frustrating end to what had been a great build. My advice would be to definitely buy this model if you are an Audi fan but don't fix the exhausts on until the very end.

One more image of the interior thorough the passenger side window (the one above is a little blurry):

My second attempt at this build (The first was my first ever model car). Really enjoyed it and it is always a pleasure to replicate one of my favourite cars of all time.
-
Here are some photos of my R8 build that I just finished. I only have a handful of these as the build took very little time. One month from start to finish, a personal best.

Paint advice on Revell Audi R8 1:24
Mirage replied to Mirage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks Junkman, fair point, I guess there is no need to paint them. I am hoping to post some pictures up soon of how my build is going. -
I am currently painting the Revell R8 but frustratingly the manual doesn't advise on a colour for the front headlamps. There is an orange specified for the indicator but not for the rest of the part. I am planning to use the 'Clear Gloss' (05) that they suggest for the alloys. Does anyone have any recommendations about how to get that Audi front lamp colour right? Thanks in advance guys!

Very nice, love that car!
-
That looks awesome! I really like that car, you have inspired me to put it on my list of ones to build.
-
That is a classic! So funny you have put 'Smokey Roadblock Ahead on the inside.

Lamborghini Aventador.....Stand Back, this thing will Hurt You!
Mirage replied to Peter Lombardo's topic in Model Cars
Wow, just wow. Great work! -
Cheers Sickfish, glad you like it. Your SLS is looking great already. My R8 kit has all arrived, am hoping to start on it bright and early tomorrow, safe to say, I am excited to get started. Skip I didn't mean the lack of comments was a negative thing. My wife has just got a new Olympus camera with tons of zoom so I am hoping to publish some sharper images when my R8 build is in progress.
-
I have had lots of views, not too many comments though. Looking forward to starting my new Revell build in a few weeks time. An Audi R8. Of course I will keep you all posted.
-
I just finished doing this kit. Finished mine in Metallic Silver. Thoroughly enjoyed the build and the finished car looks great. Have fun building it, love what you have done so far.
-
On January 2nd 2012 I finally finished my Mercedes SLS AMG build. I really wanted to get it done before going back to work so had one crazy painting session until 4am on New Years Day. I am relieved to have it finished and really pleased with how the Metallic Silver (Revell 90) paintwork came out. Hope you all enjoy it!
-
Hi SickFish, that's right no airbrushing for me. I only use brushes. I am just about to post up shots of the completed work. Hope you like them!
-
I have resolved to try an aluminium colour to see if that will work. Thanks for the recommendation. I have just ordered the remaining paints I need to finish this build so am fully intending to post more updates shortly!
