Aston Martin DBS

[Steve H.]

Hey, I haven't been on the Model Cars forum in ages... Most of you probably don't even know me.

I thought I'd drop by and show you my latest project...

The body is painted with Tamiya Gun Metal. For the first time ever, I had a clean enough paint job that it didn't need the full polish routine, only rubbed out with some coumpound. To wrap up the whole build, I need to install all of the Body Bits... windows, fascia, lights, grills, etc...

Using Tamiya Maroon, I was trying for an "Elegant" leather interior. I'm still kind of split about whether I achieved it or not...

The engine went together easily, but those chrome scripts gave me fits. You'll notice a T in Aston is missing! I just noticed that I need to trim the carrier on the oil cap decal...

The chassis was another easy assembly. The bummer is that all of the great rear end detail is hidden beneath that skid plate!

Tamiya kits... Clean, Crisp and Precise! I wish the American manufacturers could achieve the same level.

Wow nice job so far man, that paint came out flawlessly !!!

That's nice.

The DBS I was able to view up close was about that color, but had charcoal colored leather.

Sexy car, it was at the Venetian, downstairs in their Ferrari dealership.

No, I didn't ask the price. The cars have no prices on them, I figured if ya gotta ask, ya can't afford it anyway.

Almost $280k, which is why I'm building the plastic model!!!
