Fujimi Porsche Cayman S

[Nacho Z]

I have a number of models that I bulit before joining this forum. I had taken WIP pictures for another board. I thought I would go ahead and share them here. So to be clear, this model is complete but I thought maybe someone would like to see these WIP pics. I will add more pics every few days. I will then post the finished product in the Under Glass section.

Here is the kit.

I drilled out every single hole on all four rotors and painted.

The chassis had a lot of the detail molded in. Here it is with no detailing.

Beginning to detail paint.

A little more.

And a little bit more. (I just noticed I have some incorrectly mounted tires.)

Good start, I do the same with the tires as well half the time

On to the interior.

The glass was one piece. I painted the "headliner" and posts interior color. I had to paint portions of the inside of the body shell to match the interior.

Next up, I have painted the body. The metallic flakes look huge due to the close up picture. As seen with the naked eye it looks quite nice. First few pictures are of the painted but untouched body.

Here is what is looks like after a little elbow grease and TLC.

Thanks for looking. I'll post pics of the finished model in the "Under Glass" section in a couple of days.

Thanks Bob!

John, great job so far, the interior looks good, paint job, nice and shiny

I have a question , how did you go about doing the trim rings for the vents on the dash?

[Nacho Z]

Thanks Jonathan. The trim rings, dash and steering wheel are all painted free hand. Small brush and lots of magnification. Oh yeah, no coffee! Whenever I get a little paint "outside the lines" I let it dry and then take a sharpened toothpick and scrape it away. I find that toothpicks are soft enough to not scratch the base paint.
