AceOfSpades Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I started this model together with ferrari and a couple of things were already done about a month ago.
AceOfSpades Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Today the weather is so great that I primed the body and all the parts that need to be painted in body color. I used grey primer and it looks really nice and clean. It will be the perfect base for silver color i plan to use for the body. I also got detail parts from Ka-Models which look great!!

Tonioseven Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Yeah, I dig that! I think I need to get that kit AND the photo-etch as well. Thanks for sharing your progress!!
AceOfSpades Posted October 1, 2011 Author Posted October 1, 2011 I'm hoping to finish this one till 15th of october, because there will be Revell contest and thats why I have to speed the progress up I removed all the details that were molded in and will replace them with PE parts. The parts need a bit of sanding an they will be ready for paint :wink:
AceOfSpades Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 The body was painted with zero silver today...it has a bit chrome like look, but I think in the end it will be a bit different when clearcoated.
AceOfSpades Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Body was clearcoated a few days ago, but unfortunatelly some dust was in it, so I sanded the clear a bit, added the decal on the front ''bumper'' and clearcoated it again today. I used zero prethinned clear for the first time and I was extremely happy with the result. I still need to sand and polish the body a bit to achieve wanted shine.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Wow, that is looking fabulous. Keep it going, we're watching over your shoulders.
sjordan2 Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 If the paint stays nearly chrome-like, it would be very similar to the SLS Alu-Beam color.
AceOfSpades Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 I mixed the color for the rims and it came out just the way I wanted! I also completed the engine.
AceOfSpades Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 I was working with PE for the first time today and its worth the extra time you have to put in the build. The most challanging thing was to glue AMG logos on the brake calipers, but I've done it!
AceOfSpades Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 It was time to paint the interior. I used revell semi matte brown, because its my favorite leather color. I also made a template for interior floor and cut the pieces out of self adhesive ''flocking''.
AceOfSpades Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 Seats are almost done, there is only one PE piece missing; radiator is done...
AceOfSpades Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Finished: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48945
