Brizio Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I always wanted this kit, but newer got one, untill I saw the new Aoshima. The quality of the kit is great, the doors open, and the molding is super clean. Another cool thing is that they sell direct from the US now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I built the Polar Lights version a few years ago so I'm interested in seeing how this one builds up. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoMoCo66 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Nice! I'll be interested in seeing how you do the brushed stainless steel body. I wonder if you could cover the whole body in BMF then lightly sand it with a finer grit sand paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The body portion looks well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. I always wanted to build one, but never got the chance. One time I got a snap kit, I don't remember almost build it, but after I donated to a kid. 12 hours ago, FoMoCo66 said: Nice!

I wonder if you could cover the whole body in BMF then lightly sand it with a finer grit sand paper. I'm thinking that would be a ton of work with BMF and potentially peel away from the body. Just a thought, not sure how the result would be but I was thinking that once you remove the seams and clean up the body...perhaps sand the body in the direction of the brushed aluminum marks on the real Delorean with a 200, 400 or maybe even a 600 grit sand paper then lightly prime it and paint it with Alclad aluminum (or some other aluminum color paint). You'd replicate the brushed aluminum texture/color and possibly come close to the real deal. I would try it on a spare/scrap body or hood from any other kit (not necessarily a Delorean kit) first before screwing up the Delorean. Try all 3 grits on separate parts of another scrap body to see what best replicates the original in scale. I'm just sayin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I just did a brushed stainless look on a project with BMF…worked ok - that’s what I’m planning to do when I get around to building the various Deloreans I have here… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some upgrades to the Polar Lights snap kit.
