ismaelg Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Hello, YAWN!!!! Yes, another boring factory stock modern sports car.... :wink: Fujimi kit. Box stock build with added seatbelts, exhaust heat insulation, oil filter decal, wheel valve stems, cargo net, local license plate and emissions inspection sticker. As a personal touch I added a magazine and a book inside. Cobra Colors Giallo Midas paint (The closest I had to Porsche Speed yellow), custom mix light cocoa (chocolate brown) interior. The underside was painted to simulate having some of the covers off. As a personal touch I added a Road and Track magazine under the cargo net and a book on top of it. More details here: http://www.puertoriconet.com/images/cayman/ Thanks for looking and as always your comments are welcome....
RDean58 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Very realistic Good job! I like your showroom display, I should get one for mine.
crispy Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 That sure is pretty Ismael! Fantastic work. I really like the book and mag idea. Chris
Jeff Johnston Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Very nice work as always Ismael. I love the Cayman body style... now I want to see a Z4 kit ... I'd but at least a few of those ! LOL
Tuffy's Garage Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Thats real nice, theres one of those in my to do pile. With the latest two builds of these it looks like it is moving up the list
Mike Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 CLEAN. Wow. The Porsche showroom really sets it off. Great build.
Gray Smith Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 great job on this one Izzy, i'm a big fan of Caymans, and you did this one right. Gray
simonr Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Holy ca,ca,ca,ca,cow!..This is one of you top ten indeed. A real example of how a nice & clean model should be. Not just at the top, the underneath it's also as impresive as the shiny paint job. Simon Rivera
Olle F Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Porsches are not really my cup of tea, but I sure appreciate any nicely built model. This is as clean as they come, and it actually looks like the real thing in some of the pictures! 8) And I wish you could get nice, realistic headlights and taillights like that with American kits, that's a feature that really sets it off.
RobertGM2 Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nice work, Izzy. I wish I could pull off a good yellow paint job.
ismaelg Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you all for your nice comments! Glad to see such a good reaction considering that the subject is not exactly the cup of tea of many in this modeling community. Robert: Yes, yellow is a tough color to work with, but automotive lacquer helps a lot. I wouldn't even think of trying it with hobby enamels! Thanks,
paul@detaildownunder Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Man that thing is borrriiinnnggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding mate!! throw me the keys and i will break it in for ya!! great build!
blubaja Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Great color combo. Yellow is a perfect color for this.
