Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition

[wgflatliner]

This is going to be my rendition of the Lexus LFA, Nurburgring Edition. I plan on doing this version:

The only difference between this car and what i plan on doing, is having the functional wing as opposed to the fixed wing, and i will be going with black wheels.

I will need to fabricate the front canards (the wing things on the front corners of the bumpers).

Pictures of progress coming soon

Body painted Tamiya "Brilliant Orange" TS-56, and will have classic black for the black parts of the car. i did my research and the Nurburgring Edition has a pearl coat in the paint, so i will be applying that as well.

The wheels are alclad gloss black base.

The engine is 100% alclad with the exception of the flat black serpentine belt and small touch up spots. The rest of the chassis is alclad with the exception of the muffler which is enamel chrome silver airbrushed on.

Block and majority of the base colors are aluminum, valve covers the gloss black base, copper for some parts on the transmission bits and rear gear box.. the shading and such is all a combination of the alclad hot metals (sepia, blue, red) and clear yellow, and a very light wash of metalizers magnesium to give the molds some depth.

enjoy!

more pics coming soon
