B67ville Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 FujimiLover, This is looking really cool, keep up the good work and it will be a killer Porsche. Might I suggest using a bent coat hanger , rather than setting the model flat on the cardboard. It has its advantages for you hang the car upside down to dry, therefore helping to keep dust off while it dries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B67ville Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 "If it's upside down, wouldn't the paint drip OFF the car?" If thats a concern then it sounds like your laying down some heavy layers of paint. I think you might try a little lighter coats, allowed to tack off in between. Just my thoughts. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 I went to the LHS Hobby Town today, the GOOD one, and picked up Scale Motor Sport's Faux Fabrix textured spray paint. They had it in both flat-black and flat-red. I'm going to try the red on the other set of seats that came with this model. If I like the results, I'll respray the interior with it except for the dashboard to give the dashboard a different look. Well, that and I already painted in the dashboards details. Next I'll need to paint the end peices silver. seperation between the boot and the knob, not an easy spot to do! Spokes on the steering wheel.

FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well, good thing I tried that faux paint on spare parts. After shaking the can vigerously, it still sprayed out too thick, and created a blob on the cardboard and made the spare seats ugly. I think either this stuff doesn't work, or I got a bad can. I'm going to leave the interior alone as I've already painted it nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) I'm also curious as to how to bend it properly. This is a good reason not to rest it on the cardboard for painting! While I was letting the insides dry, this had happened! See the blemesh on the roof right where the reflection is? Now I'm going to have to sand that down and give her another coat! Darn these ladies, always wanting more coats! Got the chassis painted up. I was looking at somebody elses build of a Porsche 935 and noticed how his tranny was all black along with the engine. So I figured this one the same. Painted the brakes silver, and the calipers red. This part now has three colors going on, gun-metal, silver, and red. I guess you call this the suspension holder. They wanted these tip's to be body-color. So, I painted'em red. I forgot to paint some suspension parts and the rear brakes so those are in the process of drying right now. When those are done painted, I can assmeble the rest of the chassis. Edited May 20, 2009 by FujimiLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Oh yea, there are also several down-pipes and exaust system peices I still need to paint as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_rad88 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 great job so far! and darn, that sucks about the blemesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) great job so far! and darn, that sucks about the blemesh! The blemesh is an easy fix, just wet-sand it down and give her another spray. Will also have to repair the bottom skirts for same reason. But since they were painted this morning, she's still gotta wait till tomarrow before I can repair. Mean while, I'm working ahead on the chassis and interior. Hopefully this one will be the most beautiful of king's! Edited May 20, 2009 by FujimiLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 A quick little mock-up for yea. Use your imagination to put it all together! I'll be painting these white peices TS-30 Silver Leaf over black-primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
