Silent123 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Hi all! This is my first model in this community. Model was build 1,5 year ago and it was my first completely finished build. During the process of assembly, the elements of the suspension, engine, body, interrior were modified. I used some photo etching parts (locks of belts, engine parts, wipers), wire (cables), flock, BMF foil for chromium imitation, Alcad II, Elf headlights, rubber hose cords, string and syringe needle for antenna, 2k putty (mirrors, washer reservoirs). Windows(glass) except for the back are made of transparent plastic 0.5mm. The body is painted with a Model Master Nassau Blue Metallic paint and covered with 2k varnish. The rest of the details are painted with colors from the range of Tamiya and Testors. Interior was build in two-colors. I decided to paint the blue elements of the interior with the same metallic as the body, but due to different varnishes (matte in the interior and glossy on the body), the materials look differently and the interior turned out quite similar to the photos of real cars. Enjoy....
peekay Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Firstly, welcome to the forum Mikhail, good to have another Russian modeling genius on board!Your Avanti is absolutely beautiful. It's a difficult kit to get right, and very few have, but this one is all-round superb. Looking forward to more from you.
yura1961 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Миша,приветствую на форуме!Отличная работа! Edited October 4, 2017 by yura1961
TarheelRick Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Excellent attention to detail, beautiful build. Also like your photography. uncluttered and really shows the model well.
1930fordpickup Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow this is great. Hands down one the best Studebaker models I have seen built.
Classicgas Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow. I am speechless. Easily the best build of this kit I have ever seen, perhaps one of the best models period I have ever seen. Very little to distinguish it from a real car, and stellar photography to boot!
landman Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow this is great. Hands down one the best Studebaker models I have seen built. X2. It makes mine look like it was done by a two year old . It may push me into redoing it aiming for your level.
David G. Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Beautifully done, it's the best example of one of these that I've seen built.David G.
Foxer Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That color really makes it stand out and your attention to detail is spectacular!
PARTSMARTY Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That is absolutely beautiful in every way-love the color-i'm getting ready to paint a 64 dodge that color.
espo Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow - very impressive build. Your attention to detail is exceptional. As others have mentioned this can be a difficult kit to get the doors and other things right. After looking at the engine compartment I keep seeing more and more of your attention to things like the hood release cables and the hood prop. Great use of different colors on the chassis to show each component. I also like the interior details as well.
Silent123 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Posted October 4, 2017 Many thanks for the great comments. I am very pleased that my work was so highly appreciated. I will try in the future not to disappoint your expectations. Юрий, спасибо! Я давно этот форум просматриваю, вот и решил, почему бы и не показать свою работу и Вас поддержать .
donb Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Stunning. Absolutely stunning! Great craftsmanship!
rickcaps55 Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow ! that is awesome very nice that has to be listed as a por-build.!!!!!
Jantrix Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow. I am speechless. Easily the best build of this kit I have ever seen, perhaps one of the best models period I have ever seen. Very little to distinguish it from a real car, and stellar photography to boot!My thoughts exactly. Terrific workmanship.
Mr. Metallic Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That's a really cleanly executed build. Well done
drodg Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That is fabulous. I grew up not too far from South Bend Indiana where the Studebaker and Avantis were made. I have driven a few Avantis back in the mid 80's when they were no longer built by Studebaker. You have built I think the best looking scale Studebaker I have ever seen. Unbelievable.
Roger U Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Beautifully built model. Excellent detailing and paint.
smhardesty Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Truly remarkable. This is a level of skill and workmanship I'll never achieve, but I sure do appreciate seeing it. Fantastic work!
shoopdog Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Definitely the best Studebaker build I've ever seen, simply amazing!!!
MrObsessive Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 That to me has got to be the nicest one of these I've seen! This kit is not for the faint of heart to get right...........and it certainly takes some patience to get that stance correct which you've done to a T! I have to ask though............don't the square bezels around the headlights make that a '64? No matter though------it's gorgeous either which way!
John Goschke Posted October 4, 2017 Posted October 4, 2017 Wow! What an impressive debut! Welcome to the forum.Beautiful build - this car looks great in that color. You've perfectly captured the nose-down stance of the original Avanti. Excellent photography as well.
