The windscreen is a piece that supports the delicate A pillars while the body is being painted , and nice paint on the jag and R8!

Are the a pillars that fragile that it needs support ?, that color really suits the lambo well, and the trim looks great, mask and spray?,

[Haubenschild]

Yes , the A pillars are extremely fragile. The trim was masked and sprayed , I may try sand / polish the over spray after I get back from vacation

[sports850]

Thank's Liam , that explains it perfectly

Oh wow, that is cool, I would love to visit Europe some day , sounds like its going to be a fun trip

[Haubenschild]

It should be fun , but I am really , really , really dreading the 12 hour flight I am going on tommorow

I will trade you, I will take the flight, you come move for me

Well after 6 days of no bench time, I am back at the work bench , here is what I have done so far.

I clear coated the R8, but its hard to tell, painted the wheels, and started getting the body finished, brakes and wheels backs installed

I am not sure if I want to keep the wheels the color they are, I used Matt aluminum, I was thinking of doing them in black

Thanks mate, it was a move, it sucked, I think trying to get everything unpacked, and settled is going to be harder then the move, still not done yet. I am still trying to get all the model stuff unpacked, and still have to find a place to set up the ole paint box

I am going to try a different color for the wheels, my first plan was black wheels, so may go back to that.

[martinfan5]

The Audi R8 is done, posted in under glass, here is a sneak peak

[martinfan5]

Now that the Audi and Ecto 1 are done, time to work some more on the Etype, I started getting the interior painted, I am going with a tan color, need to get away from the black I always seem to do. I need to get some tan flocking now.

[martinfan5]

Getting a little bit more done, rear suspension piece almost done, and almost finished the engine

[Scuderia]

lookin good so far you're on a roll for coming off a move lol

[martinfan5]

lookin good so far you're on a roll for coming off a move lol

Trying to, still getting the bugs worked out you could say , I still need to redo how I set up the finished models, I lost a book shelf during the move, and that book case I used for models/model stuff. So that is throwing me off , its and OCD thing I guess.

[Scuderia]

haha yeah i can imagine. it'd b tough i need a new shelf for mine

[martinfan5]

Here is another small update on the Jag, not much, engine installed, headlights installed in the hood, exhaust installed, I am going to have to wait tell I get the flocking before I can do a lot more.

[Scuderia]

That's so awesome!! what brand is that kit again?

[martinfan5]

Its a Revell kit, its very old tooling

[Haubenschild]

Those wheels on the R8 are killer and the paint on the jag is beauteous

[martinfan5]

Thanks Liam,

Here is a rather small update, so I decided to add spark plug wires, still need to clean it up a little bit

[martinfan5]

Since I am back down to one kit I am working, time to start a few more, and here is what I am starting

I am not sure on color yet, I am trying to stay away from using red on the Ferrari, I thinking of doing a blue on it, for the BMW, I am not sure, I know it will be a dark color

Working getting the mold lines removed
