LAone Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 hey bud, welcome to the forum and back to the hobby. your off to a good start. ill be looking forward to more progress on this. keep up the great work
Foxer Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Nicely done detail painting. Welcome back to plastic!
935k3 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Nice start. I started that one too but i was not happy with the blue I mixed so I quit for now. Anybody a know a good blue to use on this one. It has a purplish tint to it. I mixed Tamiya TS-44 Brilliant Blue and TS-57 Blue Violet. I mixed it in the wrong order. I think I shoulld have started with the Ts-57 then add the blue, I went the other way. Edited April 1, 2011 by 935k3
Duntov Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Your skills are going to fit in quite nicely here!!! Welcome.....keep them coming....you do some nice work!! Regards Bill (Duntov)
Mooneyzs Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Very Nice Build so far. Great job, this is looking good.
wontonkiller Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks for all the great feedback !! Yeah 935K3 it does look a bit light...i found a deep blue i am going to try
Mooneyzs Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I need to pick up one of these kits just for the rims and wheels...LOL they are identical to what I have on my real car and want to do a build of it
gunner Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome back to the hobby You are doing a great job and i will be watching this build. I just started back into the hobby after a 15yr break and I'm having a blast. See if there is a IPMS chapter near you, great resource.
wontonkiller Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Put the first coat on the car today. Still have to do the bottom rear. I think the color is ok. Still could be more purple. Thanks again for all the comments ! Paint # 2 will come tomorrow maybe.. Decals soon
Jim Gibbons Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Beautiful work; I built this kit several years ago for a friend, but it was the Avex Group sponsored version. Most of the entire body was decals. I will NEVER build that version again! It came out nicely, but I spent more time on decaling than building the kit.
wontonkiller Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Nice paintjob, what blue did you use? Found some rustolum deep dark blue..still not the purple tint i would like but .. o well lol
