kurth Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It is an interesting build. I really enjoyed building mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 OK so I've made a start, strangely for a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end. Nothing is glued in the front yet, I've masked the inside of the fuel tank and tried to replicate some fuel in there. I won't be gluing the oil tank cage in until I've finished the tank (I remember that from the Vaillant build) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 OK so as you can see I'm not building this as a showroom car but rather as one that has just finished a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi all added battery cables. and starter motor cables. I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 I've added the advance retard pipe to the dizzy (assuming you can see it) Sprayed some the body More work on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Looks like your off to a great start. I will be following. I noticed a Cobra body hanging out in one of the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Yes I will get back to it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Did some work on the fuel pump, Tamiya would have you use plastic tube for the fuel lines whereas they are metal on the real thing. Since I've used artistic licence already and depicted gold plated nuts and bolts I decided to depict gold plated fuel lines too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Smith Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Nice updates. Looking good 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majel Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 That is looking really good! Kind of unfortunate about the mold lines on the body, they look more prominent than the ones on the 934 Vaillant Porsche. I have heard that the 935 is even more detailed than the 934 especially if both are built box stock. I am making slow progress on my 934, using your 934 build and others I've found on You tube for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Thanks Jim, both my 934 builds are on here in full, whereas on YouTube they are just highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hi all well I'm back from Scotland so did some work on this today, this is as much detail as the kit supplies I've done a trial fit in the body to see how it looks, I've got more pipework and wiring to add yet.

kpnuts Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Added some of the missing pipework, did the first bit of masking, started weathering the underneath and started on the brakes. And a trial fit of the rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
