Porsche 911 GT3 COMPLETED PICS

[crispy]

Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3

Paint: Macadamia Metallic by Scalefinishes

Box stock

It doesn't photo too well, but the color is beautiful. I saw this on a few Porsche's at the 2008 Auto Show and instantly fell in love.

Complete with MN. plates too!

Indoor shots:

Outdoor shots:

I did leave off a few of the GT3 bits like the side spoilers and the front lip spoiler. It was really a test bed to see what Jameston's paints did and how they worked. I'm pretty happy with it.

Nice, I like it.

I think that is the first Tamiya GT3 I have seen built.

[Scalefinishes]

I just knew that was going to be one fine looking automobile.

That color photographs like ######. I have a car painted that color, and every picture of it looks black.

Love the car.

That color is a very pretty color, I like it. This turned out great, love the details.

Nice job Chris, love the color. Advice, you are wrong when you say it doesn't photograph well, take a picture of the model just like you did under the bright sun but put in under a shadow, it will definetly pop, the metallics in the paint don't make it look right under direct sunlight! That's the reason why you say it doesn't photograph right. I don't mean to sabotage your thread here my friend, forgive me for that, but take a look at my Impala pictures below, one is under direct sunlight and the other is on the shadows. Now you tell me if your model will not photograph well!!

As you can see the first thing that pops out is the gloss on your paint just like the gloss in the first pictures you took of your Porsche. I always tell the guys that we have to remember that no matter which metallic paint we use for our models, the scale we are working with just doesn't lend itself for accuracy with metallic paints. I try to keep that at a minimum when photographing my models. I am by no means an expert on photography but when it comes to working the camera around scaled down models I am very picky. Your build is very clean and unique because of the color you chose, believe me it will photograph nicely. By the way, the camera I own is a Sony 8.1 Meg. Cyber Shot, nothing out of the ordinary because like I said, I am no pro!!!

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the comments.

Marcos, thanks for the advice. I do believe at one time you mentioned this before. Today was a good day for pictures, but as I was setting up the clouds parted and the rest is history. I was hoping to be able to shoot it with the cloudiness we had. I just finished it too late when the clouds broke.

I'll certainly try again with that advice. Thanks again.

Cool!

That came out very nice. Interesting color. I love that kit.

Cal, several of us have built that kit here on the forum. It's a wonderful kit.

Thanks,

Thanks,

That is good to hear. I have one. I figured it would be at least as good as the GT2s.

[Nick F40]

Oh your GT2 is amazing!

I was actually going to tell you but just waited for Ismael to tell you, I remember he did one, blue right?

[ismaelg]

I don't want to hijack Chris' thread, but yes, mine is blue.

But mine is not exactly box stock. I converted it to a 2003 996 GT3 among other things...

I like how it turned out. Reminds me of the old Model Masters Root Beer paint. Now they just need to do a race car in that paint and I'll have to get one.

Looks great

I've seen one Cayman in Macadamia, that color is amazing how it glows in the sunglight w/o looking like a cheesy flip-flop paint. You see the paint chip in a Porsche brochure and it doesn't convey how killer it looks in the sunlight.

CAL, here's my GT3, painted TS-23 w/custom GT3 decals:

[Scalefinishes]

I tried the shadow idea, and came up with one good shot of my custom 911. Thanks marcos.

Jameston.

Yeah, that looks great.

I'll have to try later today to see if I can get a shadowed area and snap a few more outdoor pics.

Jameston I was wondering if you care to use my Porsche on your site?

Chris

Of course I want your car on my site, I was going to ask you about it, send me some pics. I'll get them posted in the gallery, and use one on the Porsche page.

Thanks.

That is pretty sweet too. I like that blue. Where did you get the decals?
