wardsmodelbuilder Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Hello Everyone, here is my new project thread on a Studio 27 Williams FW24 resin kit. Ive already made a start on the body, adding the metal pieces, drilled all the holes for the suspension (which will be done in carbon) primed and painted the first coat of white. Although these kits go together pretty quickly this is a personal build so updates might not be very often as client builds take priority but i'll keep you updated as often as I can.

wardsmodelbuilder Posted August 11, 2018 Author Posted August 11, 2018 Here is the first update on the Studio 27 model I'm working on. Got the body masked off and the blue part of the two tone colour scheme done. Now it just needs a bit of work sanding down before the clear coat is applied. I've also painted the front wing pieces in the blue so that will be ready to clear at the same time. Now I just need to finished the very time consuming job of carbon decaling all the suspension pieces, I've done one so far!!!! Next update I should be able to show all the parts finished and ready for final assembly. Chris www.wardsmodelbuilder.com wardsmodelbuilder@outlook.com
wardsmodelbuilder Posted November 21, 2018 Author Posted November 21, 2018 I've been so busy lately with doing client builds that I almost forgot about this little Williams I started ages ago. So today I decide to make a start of getting it finished. Started applying the decals prior to its final clear coat, hopefully I will be able to get it finished shortly.

curt raitz Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Geez it's good to see a F1 build on this forum. They are few and far between. Studio27 kits are a joy to build and they look great when done. The Williams is coming along nicely! Thanks for sharing
wardsmodelbuilder Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 Here is the next update on the studio 27 williams. Getting close to having it finished now. All the main body decals have been placed and a clear lacquer added over them. The front and rear suspension is installed and all done in carbon fibre decal, along with the floor and the inner cockpit. All that remains now is the front are rear wing, wheels and a little detailing around the car. Hopefully I'll have it finished in a few days.

Brudda Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Just love it!!!! I agree with Curt, great to see a F1 build! Fantastic job!
wardsmodelbuilder Posted December 12, 2018 Author Posted December 12, 2018 Finally got it finished. Very happy with the finished model. Front and rear wing went together without any problems, wheels and body detailing added. I used a 6 point fabric harness to replace the photo etched parts that came with the kit, other than that everything is out of the box. Thanks Chris www.wardsmodelbuilder.com wardsmodelbuilder@outlook.com
nickfzr61 Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Chris Very nice clean build. I love F1 cars. They just look fast standing still. I haven't done a Studio 27 kit yet. They seem kind of pricy for a curbside kit. How is the quality and do you recommend them? I've been building the 1/12 scale Tamiya F1 cars recently.
carmad1957 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Yes, it is nice to see an F1, especially one that's as nicely done as yours. Beautiful!r
Ensis Ferrae Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I've always loved the look of that particular BMW Williams, and you have done excellent service to her with this one. Simply great work mate.
Gt fan Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Looks great... I always like that car. Well done
