geordie Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I must be getting old....I read the title as R8 R.I.P....
Duntov Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Me too Daivd..... I was expecting to see a half melted glue bomb!!!!!
FASTBACK340 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I thought it was abbreviated for "rate" WIP.
carro Posted December 31, 2012 Author Posted December 31, 2012 Well, I figured what blue paint i'll be using. also put together most of the engine blavk and sprayed some aluminum color on it. and also started on the chassis. I was thinking red and black for the interior , but while searching online for some reference pics I found this picture of a China edition interior picture which I think is what im going to try to duplicate. minus the Carbon fiber.
carro Posted January 1, 2013 Author Posted January 1, 2013 Small update. Did some more on the chassis and started spraying the blue in the interior.
carro Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Small update, got the body primered and painted. Hopefully I'll clear coat tonight.
carro Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 Well did a little more on this one. All the chassis and suspension parts are painted just waiting for most of them to dry. here is the engine without the intake being that it needs some little details to finish it up. (sorry for the blurry pic) Also polished the body. Next to tackle the interior.
carro Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Another small update. got all the window trim mask and painted and also started on the interior.
alarmstrong Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I must be getting old....I read the title as R8 R.I.P.... don't feel bad I am 34 and I thought I read the same thing
carro Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Did a little more on this one this weekend. first clean up some of the flash on the parts. next to test fit before painting. also did some work on the wheels. decided to paint the centers charcoal. Here is a pic after painting. (hard to see on the pics)
MikeyB08 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Looking Good! Love the blue. I've been considering getting me an R8. This may have pushed me over. Will be following. Keep it up!
carro Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Looking Good! Love the blue. I've been considering getting me an R8. This may have pushed me over. Will be following. Keep it up! Thanks! Is not a bad kit there is some fitment issues here and there and the suspension is a bit on the 4x4 side but I've enjoyed this kit so far.
carro Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Little bit more done on this one. Finished the front grill. The chassis is almost done . I also did some work on the interior, just need a few more detailsto finish it. And finished painting the wheels.
carro Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Last part I had to paint before finishing. All done! under glass now.
