Scale-Master Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 This was originally just a fun quick build using left over parts from a build I did of a friend's '88 Turbo. Had it almost finished about a week and a half ago and it took a detour. After having a bad reaction with the clear over the TS-38 Gunmetal paint, I stripped it, what a pain. Wet urethane over dry Tamiya lacquer (the grey was about 5-6 months dry). Used denatured alcohol, messy, very messy... Then scrubbed it with Comet cleanser. Primed it, yes, green primer... Then reshot the Gunmetal and lightly (this time) cleared it again with the same urethane clear, as a sealer sort of. There is a Smoke fade around the lower areas of the body, almost visible in the photo. Modified a passenger seat from the Modena I took the wheels from... Seat belt decals from the parts box... A little wash (to make it dirty ironically) and shading on the engine and chassis... Door panels on and ready to go into the body... I tried TS-71 Smoke for the window tint, looks promising, although not perfect on this one, but hey, it was just a test... And here it is done. The blue is TS-44 Brilliant Blue. The C/F is SMS HiDef 1/20 scale. One more out of the "parking lot" area of my shop. Guess I can start something new now...
Ray Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 There is still hope for me, because it appears even a Scale-Master has slip ups from time to time. lol Another great build! Thanks for posting. Ray
ismaelg Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Very cool! Looks great! Let's race! Just give me a second to put the last tire on....
Scale-Master Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 even a Scale-Master has slip ups from time to time Oh yeah, it's not that one doesn't make boo-boos, it's fixing them that is the trick. I deal with the same issues as everyone else... Sometimes they are totally my fault and I know it when I do it, sometimes they seemingly come out of the blue, and then I remember I probably shouldn't have done that...
Scale-Master Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 Very cool! Looks great! Let's race! Just give me a second to put the last tire on.... Oooh, I like that one better than mine. Let's race for pinks!
Modelmartin Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Can I race, too? Renaissance conversion on Tamiya - nightmare decals! It is done though and you won't see it at a contest!
ismaelg Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Cool racer Andy! Let's go but remember, I'm street legal on street tires, so give me a little room on the tight corners We can do the MCMFPAC: Model Cars Mag Forum Porsche Abusers Club
bsoder Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Well Mark it turned out quite nicely! and yes learning techniques for fixing "errors" is an important part of the model building bag a tricks
