wontonkiller Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Looking to get rolling on this project here. I know for a while now I wanted to build a 430 Challenge car. I was thinking about making a 430GT but it sounds like the kits are not very good..So I got some Red Bull decals for a Porsche that runs in the Rolex Series... After some thought and modifying it looks like the decals will work... so...here we go Just some little stuff for now.....Ordered a bunch of stuff from MS Hobby and am ready to build.
wontonkiller Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Doing a bit more work last couple of days....got around to taking some pics today... Some wires...nothing crazy just a bit of detail.... Engine is all set... Studio 27 detail kit is amazing !!! Brakes all set..... Some Primer and base coat is down...
Mirage Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 This is a fantastic idea. The wheels already look great. Keep posting the pics, it will be great to see how it develops over time.
diymirage Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) looks like your off to a good start there Andy just wondering how well those intake runners are attached because they are on there backwards, they should be mounted facing the sides if you get what i mean (edit) found a picture that explains it, just click on the link and see http://www.flickr.com/photos/jvbates/4765183548/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Edited August 15, 2011 by diymirage
wontonkiller Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 we have color !!!!! I like it ...and I will fix the Ferrari Logos lol
wontonkiller Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 All coming together now !!! Decals I think look awesome !!! Hard sometimes to figure out where to put them...dont have any template or anything lol ... Interior is looking great to I think... Loving this car !!!
wontonkiller Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Well most of the inside is done now....working on seat belts and little things....I really like the detail in this kit...I have been trying to make it look as real as possible. Would have liked some more hoses and wire but this will do... Cutting the front vents to put the photo echoed in later.... adding more decals....again this car is 100% custom so I just picking spots to put them....all those hours of painting cars in Forza 3 are paying off here...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Beautiful work in progress. Excellent detailing too. It's going to be one heck of a model.
wontonkiller Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Tried so hard to find or make seatbelts for this and had no luck....here she is ...dad is so proud lol haha
