crispy Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Been in a little slump the last few months. So I decided to pull out this Fuimi Porsche Cayman S. It's a curb side kit so I though this would get me rolling again. Here it is with the first coat of primer, need to wet-sand and re-prime. Then it'll get a nice coat of Tamiya Bright White. The wheels are Aoshima Amistad Rotino 19". Stripped them and painted with Tamiya semi gloss black. Here's a shot: I won't be posting much for in progress shots as I just want to build something.
ismaelg Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Looking good Chris. This Fujimi red plastic does not seem to have any serious bleeding problems. Nice choice of wheels. My Cayman S should be finished in the next couple of days. Thanks, Ismael
novadose71 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 nothing like a nice, simple kit to get you out of a slump. Have fun with it.
RS2000 Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 This is a nice kit, I built this too, in a similar scheme to what you are planning! Sorry about the hijack, now get back to work!
ismaelg Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 Cool looking Cayman Matt! I should have mine finished in a few days....
crispy Posted May 24, 2007 Author Posted May 24, 2007 Matt, thanks for the look at your build. I love it. Are those Aoshima Bersaglio rims? Did you use a pearl paint? I was going to try and go for this look: Although I have no idea where to start with a spoiler. As I said before, I just want to build something. Thanks for the encouragement guys! Chris
RS2000 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Are those Aoshima Bersaglio rims? Did you use a pearl paint? Correct and correct! The paint is Tamiya Pearl white, straight out of the can.
crispy Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Well, I got the rear engine/suspension on today. I also got the last two coats of primer on. I'll probably get the car painted Saturday. I hope I can get it done in another week. Here are a couple more shots of it in Tamiya white primer with .005 black micron panel lines: Going along smoothly. Chris
Steve H. Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Lookin' good! Hope this one gets you out of the slump!
