tmathew1us Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Very smooth looking clearcoat, really makes the base pop. Did you use a 2 part clear urethane?
martinfan5 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Posted August 16, 2017 Very smooth looking clearcoat, really makes the base pop. Did you use a 2 part clear urethane?Thank you, yes, 2k clear , I thinned it just a little bit with Mr Thinner and added a little bit of Mr Retarder to it, its not perfect, there are some tiny debris spots, but they are hard to see and I am lazy so they are staying.
martinfan5 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Posted August 16, 2017 Part one of all the trim done, what a pain that was, everything fit fine, it was tedious , and a lot of removing excess plating from the molding to get all of it to fit in the channels, I really was kicking myself last night for not having any of the Chrome Pens yet, really would of come in handy. Up next is the BMF on the greenhouse, and then get this one finished up, the interior is done, just have not photograph its yet.
mikemodeler Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 Looks awesome! Love the color and your details on the trim look perfect.
Dragline Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Where are these for 30.00? Modelroundup wants nearly 50.00.....
Foxer Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Oh my! That is spectacular! The clear coat is so smooth and really brought the metallic!
Randy D Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Love the progress Jonathan, the trim makes it really come alive!!! Bob, HobbyEasy has them for $25.32 Throw a couple of things in the shopping cart and the shipping is reasonable. randy
martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Where are these for 30.00? Modelroundup wants nearly 50.00.....You have to buy them from none US retailers, you need to buy them direct from Japan or like Randy said, China(Hobby Easy)
Luc Janssens Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Looks great so far....can't wait to see it finished.
martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Looks great so far....can't wait to see it finished. You and me both
martinfan5 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 After what seemed like a few hours, completed the window trim, more so a pain on this one, the trim lines in some spots, like top side of the windscreen, rear window, on the A-Pillars , and after putting the BMF, becomes even more faint, so it took a tad bit longer to get all the trim done, please note I suck at doing BMF, so its about is good as I am able to do with BMF for the time being. ( this why I like newer cars, no F*****BMF to deal with haha)And proof that I did in fact complete the interior.And a mock up
Del Austin Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Great looking Beemer. The trim came out fantastic.
FabbricaP Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Wow that color looks very nice. Nice work on all the chrome trim, looks like all that pain paid off in the end!
