Now to decide if I clear it with gloss or matte as originally planned. ? Hi Keith, really nice looking mock up! Hmmmm… matte, or gloss… fairly certain either will look great. I may have missed it, but whose wheels are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted June 3, 2024 Share Posted June 3, 2024 I’m finally getting some bench time. Got my brother-in-laws car foiled, decaled, and cleared. I’ll let this cure for a week or 2, then polish it. Mica silver, 2 coats of pearl white, one coat of clear pearl, 3 coats of clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels are from Texas3DCustoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted June 4, 2024 Share Posted June 4, 2024 Managed to more or less finalize the frame work/cage for my C5R Silverado. Fender supports in the front are there as well as body mounts for the rear quarters. I almost think i am starting to be done with frame work exept for som finishing touches and some platic card on the dashboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty good, but I made a lot of rookie mistakes. 2K job could be much better, amongst some other things. Instead of binning it I told myself I was gonna finish her on up. Didn’t want the rest to go to waste, as my first attempt at “weathering” to lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted June 5, 2024 Share Posted June 5, 2024 I very seldom post any progress or WIP's on here but I'm so pleased with how the paint job polished out today on my current build I decided to do it today. Paint is Anita's Metallic Black craft paint over Mr. HobbySurfacer 1500 black and cleared with Tamiya X-22. The Metallic is super fine gold and not visable in the picture. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Basher Posted June 6, 2024 Share Posted June 6, 2024 Making progress on the Ferrari FXX. Lots of crazy masking so it can be black on the inside and red on the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCo66 Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 Got my airbrush setup today with the water trap and air regulator in one. I also included mounts for my airbrushes. I made this so I can hook it up to the quarter inch NPT on my garage air compresser. And a cool bonus, it's Portable (probably going to make it so I can bolt it down to bench)! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 Got this done over the last few days. I have installed a bunch of magnets for holding the hood as well as the front and to hold the engine in place. i also started with 3mm aluminum rod to make an exhaust from the turbo then drilled the end of the turbo and the pipe and placed a magnet there as well. I also drilled holes for the exhaust in the bedside. I have also made the integrated racing high beams, I will be using the clear glass from the C5-R kit later but it looks cool even with the corvette coverplate, had to turn everything upside down due to the shape of the bumper. I also got some more work done on my rear suspension. What do you guys think about the front splitter? Yey or nay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have mentioned before, sorry if I missed it....... Hello JollySlipper, I am using a iwatta lph400 spray gun. the iwatta lph 400 is pretty expensive. I have several iwatta paint guns. And a few iwatta air brushes. I sometimes use a sata mini jet. I have several Sata jet spray guns. I have been in the paint and body business since 1969. So this is why I have an assortment of spray guns. Thank you for the compliment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 (edited) I picked up this glue bomb the other day. Thankfully the builder didn’t scrape the plating before glue, so there isn’t too much damage to the chrome. The glue that was there on the bare plastic was dry and brittle so I managed to get it mostly disassembled. I am missing a wheel and tire that I may cast, or maybe I’ll swap them all out? I found an excellent WIP thread on resurrecting this kit.
