Well, I'm plotting my next 3 or 4 builds: 2 Bonneville cars, scratchbuilt (one Vette and one streamliner), a 70 Eldo station wagon (mashup of kits), and a 70 Challenger KamBack concept. Plus, there's a 72 AMC Hornet ProMod on my bench, but advancing slooooooowly. So much styrene, so little time! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Inspired by Fabrizio's 1/24th scale model of Janis Joplin's Porsche 356C Cabrio, I thought that I would have a go at making a model of it from the Revell 1/16th scale kit. My model is hand painted using a combination of Artists Acrylics, Revell's own Aqua Colour paints and a set of 0.7 mm tipped Posca Acrylic Paint Pens over a white matt primer. A number of coats of Acrylic Clear Gloss was sprayed on to build up and level off the paint. I had to make and fit some chrome body trims and also scratch build the luggage rack. Dashboard was modified slightly to add another instrument as per the Joplin car. References were multiple pictures downloaded from various internet sites. My model being in a bigger scale, I thought it would be less of a strain on my eyes, and having finished it I have a much better appreciation of Fabrizio's incredible model painting skills as his model is very much smaller than mine. (And unlike me, he converted his from a coupe kit !!!) Hope you like the pictures of my particular efforts.

Claude Thibodeau Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Hi Bruce! Nice, the color is very distinctive. What is-ti precisely? I had an 1982 Renault 5 back then, but the non-turbo 3 cyl variety. Would-you believe 50 (that's FIFTY) miles per gallon on the highway? Was the ideal car during the fuel crunch! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bmw color system toner. Copper they call it. Had it for years and finally used it. When I worked for bmw they replaced the paint every two years. So I brought home the toners and have paint for the rest of my life.,I can make some really cool colors. A benefit for working there at the time.

A benefit for working there at the time. Hi Bruce! Thanks. I also worked wiht House of Kolor toners a few years ago. They were usefull for door jambs and odd sections of body, where the simple accumulation of candy coats posed too much risks of runs... Great results on your R5!
