JHDrew Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well this was a whirlwind build but I just had to have one of my own after watching it on TV last month. The hard part was creating all those decals and getting them right. I painted Tamiya Chrome Yellow on a sheet of white decal film so I could have a match to the body when I painted it. I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures. I'm saving for a better camera. Like I did earlier in the on the bench section, here's the real car followed by the model pics: Revell C6R kit. Tamiya Chrome Yellow and Gloss Black, Sakatsu Aluminum BBS RE wheels. Studio 27 “C†Mesh. Fine Molds Radiator Pattern. Detail master electric fan photoetch. Dexter race position lights. All Custom made decals on Paint Shop Pro. Modifications: Body: Molded in Naca ducts (rear) scratch built head lights license plate area fully opened tighter door gaps by adding material to doors and body Reshaped exhaust shield aluminum exhaust tips opened front grille molded hood pins removed and added pins hood extended to the sides and front for tighter fit door handles reshaped Side windows from clear stock Photoetch: front grille, mesh in license plate area, race position lights Photoethch rear grill and cooling fan Photoetch wiper Added tow hooks (front and back All custom made decals Wheels: Sakatsu turned and milled aluminum BBS RE. Interior: Full seat belt replaces molded in version Added realistic safety nets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertw Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Jim, Others have used all the great adjectives to describe this build, all I can say is that you've created a work of art. This is a model that you'd never get tired at looking at. Well done! Rob W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Madlinger Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Great job Jim. It will look good sitting next to the Audi. Now, back to the Scarab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHDrew Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 What is this Scarab you speak of? Great job Jim. It will look good sitting next to the Audi. Now, back to the Scarab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzoenvy1 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I love this car. I really am thinking about investing in a printer that will allow me to do these kinds of decals. I love my semi stock C6-r but this makes it so much more creative. great job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Kern Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Nothing cooler than skulls on a car! That turned out as mean looking as the real thing. The decals look fantastic, too. Great work, Jim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
