cruz Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Just finished it last night, I will be taking pictures outside tomorrow if the sun is out, the color will pop more w/ the outside pictures!!!
cotto Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Amazing my friend, your painting skills are out of this world! What color is that and what paint, my friend has the exact car with that interior color and all. Do those rims come with the kit? Your use of pastels in the interior is phenomenal!
cruz Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks Jay, the paint is Tamiya Italian red over a gray primer base, I wanted this red a little darker than usual. Those rims are part of this kit together w/ the tires. I thought it was something nice to complete in between projects.
cotto Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Did you use a clear over the paint? That thing is like a mirror!
cruz Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Did you use a clear over the paint? That thing is like a mirror! That is Tamiya's Clear, I have been using it lately and even though it is a little thin I think it's pretty good, you just have to be careful when polishing it!!
Nick F40 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Man, there are some nice models that are turning out for the may meeting. I might not be there Cruz. Hey, how come it ain't black?
ismaelg Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Great job my friend! That's my favorite generation Miata. Thanks,
m408 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Just finished it last night, I will be taking pictures outside tomorrow if the sun is out, the color will pop more w/ the outside pictures!!! Very nice, How did you get the texture for the side panels and top boot?
robertw Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Very nice ! One of the first cars I built when I switched from a/c to cars about 15 years ago. Mine from that period is certainly not the quality of yours; I need to build a better one I think. Almost bought a real one back when I went through my mid life buy a sports car period. Rob W
Andy Wyatt Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Let me guess...you ran out of BMF when you built your '59 Impala.. Looks great as usual my man!
jbwelda Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 nice job on that miata! heres one i finished up right before my "hiatus" (aka moving house and trying to restore some semblence of order so i can even find my superglue!): as you can see its a series one, aka "NA". maybe we can race sometime! by the way mine is a fair representation of my 1:1
