Scale-Master Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks guys! Corey, I gotta ask, Which Caterham 7? I've done at least six of them... At least 10 if you count Lotus's too.
dimebolt Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks guys! Corey, I gotta ask, Which Caterham 7? I've done at least six of them... At least 10 if you count Lotus's too. The one with the 7 theme. The one in your avatar. I saw a profile of it in Scale Auto few years ago, and was just in awe of the detail. Exellent build! Corey
Art Laski Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Is the pinstripe paint or tape? Mark, I'm curious about this too, but, unless I missed it, didn't see that it had been answered. You know I'm currently struggling with pinstripes!
Scale-Master Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 I guess I did miss that, sorry... I cut the side and upper nose stripes from 2mil white vinyl, the rest of the white striping (on the lower edges) is decal.
pharr7226 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Beautiful body, paint, and decal work. What clear did you use?
Scale-Master Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks guys. I used Matrix clear, two part automotive urethane. The project is still moving along, but slowly due to the nature of the kit and where I am at on it. Put a couple parts on, let them dry... Paint some details, let 'em dry... Put them on, let 'em dry...
Scale-Master Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 Still plugging away and making progress… Into the final stretch!
Scale-Master Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 There is not much meat on the body around the rear wheel wells and I really had to force them in, even after multiple trimming episodes. Glad the body didn’t break, but then again, this resin is pretty hard. Good thing I thinned out the inner fenders while building the chassis to make more room. Plenty of fiddling to get it to sit on all four wheels too.
Scale-Master Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 Finally done. I fought me for the last couple days, but I am calling it done. The kit has too many issues to worry about fixing all of them. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66175
