Samuel S Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 What's up everyone this build going to be very interesting aha I am using a shadow box from Michaels to recreate Tamiya's "Part Panel" collections! As title says, Tamiya's master piece Laferrari is going to be in the shadow box. I usually never took pictures to show process but this time I will do my best to take pictures in between lol Cheers, Stay subscribed for more builds coming up! waiting for cement to dry up to sand the seam lines roughly sanded with 600 - 1000 to give primer some bite There were some mold circle thing? so I filled them up with tamiya putty and sanded smooth Got rid of the air flow channel seam lines with cement and putty So since I don't have any tool that is thin enough to fit through the gap, I just use some super glue to attach Tamiya sand papers on bamboo stick and after wearing out, just take em off and reglue a new one! I am not creative enough to think of any other way lol Door panel seam lines are pain in the butt to get out... So the front and rear bumper's arc didn't let the part face forward so I had to trim the part flat in order to face forward properly. Ready for primer!
Bennyg Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 Very cool. I like the method of sanding the narrow areas in the doors. Will be using that on my FXX-K build.Ben
Samuel S Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) What's up yall, here are some update. I applied White primer on the panels before I paint some red. If you like popping red, use pink primer as a base. But white is good enough for me Enjoy! Had to do some correction Excited to lay some red! Edited May 29, 2017 by Samuel S
martinfan5 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Ahh, a parts panel , now I understand what you are talking about, interesting idea. Once I started using Tamiya's Pink Primer for red, I cant go back to using white , nope, notta, cant do it.
Samuel S Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 Nice work prepping the body. Looking forward to more.Thanks!

superbike-shaun Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Hi, i cant for the life of me figure what shadow box means,can you explain?Thank you
Samuel S Posted May 31, 2017 Author Posted May 31, 2017 Hi, i cant for the life of me figure what shadow box means,can you explain?Thank youYou should look up shadow box! It's like a deep photo frame that you display collectible things inside or pictures! I hope that made sense haha
Samuel S Posted June 2, 2017 Author Posted June 2, 2017 What's up guys I brushed some tamiya italian red today. Not much to say but I am very enjoying this build. Enjoy the pics and subscribe on my youtube for builds! happy modeling
Samuel S Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 What's up guys I spent hours masking the panels for dual black color on the laferrari and the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH curve tape that I got from hobby store left sticky residue -__- T_T This is why I can't trust brands without two stars (Tamiya if you haven't got the joke) But now I gotta start this process all over again with italian red... Something that I noticed with Alclad paints is that they don't stick as well as tamiya laquer paint and the strength of the paint is very weak... Stick to Tamiya lol would've been a lot easier if the black part was separate for the back You can kind of see the curve tape that left residue through tamiya masking tape :/ NIGHTMARE haha I gotta start this all over again... residue.... and more residue...
DiscoRover007 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Try and see if you can polish off that residue. I'd think a compound could take that off.
Samuel S Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 haa it took off the weak black paint off too ;/ gotta repaint! urg
tmathew1us Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 This is an example of a shadow box that Samuel S is eventually going to complete (this one is a Tamiya Lexus LFA, built by Tamiya for sale in the Toyota store for only US $818)
