Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Just off the bench. Still waiting on the plates, but otherwise I'm calling it done.Factory correct Ultramarine by ScaleFinishes, this is to replicate my daily driver. This is a great chassis with lots of detail, the body proportions all look right etc, but the final assembly gets fiddly. The side glass does not fit flush like you would want, and the fact that there is no motor is still a mystery to me. (Thanks Jonathan for the replacement decals!)
martinfan5 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Love it Mark, well done. Just as an FYI, Aoshima did do a engine for that kit, but not all the kits came with it, this is the one does http://www.hlj.com/product/AOS00760/Aut
Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks Jonathan. My wife bought me this one as a birthday gift last year. Too bad they do not sell just the motor by itself. I may still try to get that kit at some point, as that price looks really reasonable. I just now tried to add it to my cart, and it said it is currently out of stock.

They did at one time sell just the engine, you can still order the kit, they will backorder it for you .
Belugawrx Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Beautiful paint and finish Mark Interior looks great too Can you explain the cobble stone road work please...Like that! Cheers
Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks everyone! Bruce, The roadway display is not finished, there will be a curb and side drain etc. The stones are from the cork sheets that you put in shelves etc, and they come in different thicknesses. Just cut them to shape, glue them down to a base, rough them up, paint to taste, then use plaster mixed with some fine sand to fill the cracks.
Nacho Z Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Great looking model. That is one fine paint job you laid down!
peekay Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Very slick, fine looking finishes and detailing throughout.
