Eric C Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Here's another one recently finished. Aoshima's SL63 AMG. A fun kit that I really enjoyed building. Built out of the box with Tamiya TS-8 Red and cleared. Wheels were painted with Testors metalizer and cleared with Tamiya clear. Thanks for looking.
Bill Eh? Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Eric, another outstanding build. Just finished looking at your C6R. This Mercedes couldn't be any cleaner. A question, if you don't mind. Do you decant Tamiya sprays and airbrush them when you paint? I can't get that kind of result straight from the can. LOL.Great work!
Harry P. Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Ach du lieber! That's one fine looking M-B! Paint is flawless, I wish I could paint half as well!

I normally heat the can slightly with a blow dryer before I spray but the real finish comes from polishing. I use the three grades of Tamiya polish, coarse, fine and finish, to get a decent shine.
Agent G Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Why are you posting pics of the real car? Where's your build? That is one fine clean Mercedes you have there. Very very nice. G
Scalper Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Wow that is a super clean build. Great paint. nice job
niteowl7710 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Looks fantastic! I have that kit; I hope mine turns out a fraction as well as yours did! Absolutely great job! I too have one of these in the pile and echo Ken's thoughts about having it come out as well.
martinfan5 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 That is a very nice build, I love the paint job, you did a great job
Kaleb Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 What did you do to keep the front bumper on? I built the same car and had a slight mis-hap with the bumper. Im going to go back and refinish it later and clear it. Just had to put it together and get it out of my way before something worse happened.
saltflat1 Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 I agree with everyone on this one. Your building skills shine through .Congrats

Kaleb, I didn't do anything special to keep the bumper on. I glued it on early in the process with superglue before I ever did any priming or painting. This, in fact almost turned out to be a problem in itself because I had a hard time getting the headlights in place once the bumper was glued on.
