Roncla Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 They look like the rims may not be deep enough. particularly the rear rims. The biggest issue though is they are only 16" diameter where as the 993 GT2 is18". These are the Scale Production rims shown on another forum.
Terminator-Fox Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) That trunk lid looks awesome. Although is it considered the cars hood since the trunk is up front? Edited January 22, 2014 by Terminator-Fox

Yeah, I see what you are saying, Ill keep an eye out and see if scale productions post these. Thanks for the information! That trunk lid looks awesome. Although is it considered the cars hood since the trunk is up front? Lets just go with bonnet like the Brits call it! Edited January 22, 2014 by brandolsx
Terminator-Fox Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Lol, I was thinking that. But this is a German car!
brandolsx Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 I was thinking of it as the boot lid hahaha! I like boot lid! Sounds great. From now on that is how we will refer to this part.
Scalper Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Interesting kit. I will be keeping my eye on this one.
brandolsx Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Alright I haven't posted an update in a long time on this car and it's about time! A lot of progress has been made lately. I switch to the "Number One" Car scheme. I ordered a 964 and will be doing to the signal green color on that model. I completed the wheels. I couldn't find any machined parts to use so I picked up some C1 Models Metalizer. This stuff is amazing, you simply paint a base coat and buff on the powder. After buffed it turns out great! I don't need to explain too much, the photos will do justice:
Roncla Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 You're body is looking great and its sitting on the chassis right too. Its not the easiest of bodies to work with. C1s metalizer does work well. You can rub it over their suggested black or use other colors for different effects.

I'm pretty excited how this one is coming out. I have another kit I'm building where I want to make the wheels almost a rosey silver color. I am hoping if I lay a base of red down that metalizer with show through some of the red. I'll do a test run first.
brandolsx Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 Well, I finally finished this car this weekend. It turned out great and am very happy with it. I definitely learned a lot working with this resin kit and am happy I have the 964 version still to do. That one will turn out even better. There is a lot of modifying and making sure EVERYTHING fits before final painting. This is KEY. Pardon the photos below for the dust on the car. At then end I noticed there was two tabs in the back where the taillight lens goes. I have to grind this and thought I got all the dust off the car. But photos are unforgiving and catch all these details. The decals didn't sit too nice on this car either. You can see the square cut out around the "Number One" decal. Thanks for looking!
Roncla Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Its great to see one of these challenging trans kits finished. I bet you have learned heaps and the next one will be a cinch. Well done.
Terminator-Fox Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Nice! Post pics in under glass. Edited March 26, 2014 by Terminator-Fox
brandolsx Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks Ron and Gary! Was not an easy build that's for sure. A lot to change on the next one! Nice! Post pics in under glass. Will dooo. I gotta get better shots of this thing though. These photos make it look terrible
