martinfan5 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Posted March 19, 2012 I am still waiting to start the merc, I have not got the P/E set yet, let me think about the Lambo, I am going to use factory colors, but need to get a A/B still. I will figure something out.
hotrod59f100 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Well I agree with you on the first gtr . I love them cars. I wish I had the money to get my hands on a few and import them. Edited March 22, 2012 by hotrod59f100

Oh yea off topic, but I got the Aston Martin kit today to add to the CBP You'll enjoy the build, it's a great kit - here's mine from a while back, painted, you guessed it, Tamiya Dark Blue Metallic from the can
martinfan5 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) That is beautiful Paul, what colors did you use for the interior ? I think I am going to start the DBS, since it showed up, it keeps calling my name Edited March 24, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Started working on the DBS, getting the mold lines removed, still have some work left
martinfan5 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 Trying to decide on what color I want to paint it, I am kinda thinking of a few colors, one is green, one is blue, black, maybe a silver, or a dark gun metal
martinfan5 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 I think I might decided on the color, I will know after I do some test sprays on a spare body, I thinking of trying the one coat lacquer graphite dust
Scuderia Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) lookin' stellar as always! I really need a Fujimi or Tamiya already.. Edited March 29, 2012 by Scuderia
ffreak Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Got the stripes on and some of the c/f decals. The red is a really bright dayglo color that really pops. Still lots of decals to go yet but it's starting to take shape !!
hotrod59f100 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Well wile the Nsx is in its 6 bath I started a new build Sunday.. I have got the body painted just have to wet sand and clear. I also started to get things going on the frame. .
martinfan5 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Nice looking RX7, what blue did you use
jonno356SC Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 man, you guys are fast. Just got back from vacation, not sure what I have posted. Finished the 904 motor and installed in car. Did the fuel tank, sanding it nearly flat and remade the straps using plumber's tape and styrene. Fed through wire snd used tiny rod for tie downs. Have cleared the metalizer, looks good. After I sand and polish, I will post.
RoadRunner1083 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Hey guys & Gals! Great stuff going on here. here is the R33 Finished. Been built for a few weeks now, but just haven't had time to post since I am in the middle of a move right now. Anyway herre is a pic. I'll have to get better photos but this will do for now.
martinfan5 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I agree, nice looking R33, I will get some pics up on the Aston later tonight, getting the body painted right now. Here is the body with with a few light coats, my sanding of the mold lines did not do a great job, still have a few areas that I need work on, I did not notice it tell after I got the paint down Edited March 30, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 That is Testor's one coat lacquer Graphite dust, I normally dont use them. Here is the chassis all finshed
Scuderia Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 That chas' is lookin' great too. I haven't tried the one coats yet. I tend to screw up jobs with laquers in the past. Hows this one coat stuff fare?
