Studio27 1/20 Williams FW24

[wardsmodelbuilder]

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.

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.

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.

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

She is looking good, Chris!

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.

Awesome. I’d love to do an F1 sometime. 

[Brudda]

Just love it!!!! I agree with Curt, great to see a F1 build! Fantastic job! 

[wardsmodelbuilder]

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

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.

Very clean and realistic-looking build!

Very nice, Chris!

Yes, it is nice to see an F1, especially one that's as nicely done as yours. Beautiful!r

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.
