Quick GMC Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Started this one a while ago, when my son was born. he was sleeping a lot then, not so much now. I was able to get some stuff done this week. When I saw they had released this, i had to get it Lots of nice stuff in this set These Brembo calipers are awesome
Quick GMC Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Body work Removed the fuel door so I can install the quick filler PE wing pieces. I will be using the EVO wing Rivets I used the pins in the plastic piece to locate the PE piece. Then I shaved it smooth and drilled a hole for the rivets to go in after it's painted
Quick GMC Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) The drill bit The holes Top pieces are from the kit, bottom are the assembled PE wing mounts Wing mockup Nice calipers I love the cooling fins Edited October 19, 2014 by Quick GMC
Quick GMC Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) The hubs. I put everything together but forgot to paint them. The I separated the hubs from the rotors. I painted the hubs, then sanded down the tops of the bolts to make them pop. Then I did a wash on the rotors to give the holes some depth. I painted the calipers, then washed them.

GeeBee Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Superb wok, this is shaping up to be a cracking build ....
afx Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Very nice Cameron. What livery of the car are you doing?
Quick GMC Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Very nice Cameron. What livery of the car are you doing? No livery. I'm using the club sport version but with the Evo wing and slicks.
Chillyb1 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Outstanding work. I'm sorely tempted to try my hand at this build myself.
Quick GMC Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 I got a little more done on this one. This isn't the color I was hoping for, it is supposed to be more red, but I think it will work. I painted the chassis, then started the very tedious task of masking the certain area that needed to be painted. Blue Tack is a life saver. If you don't have it, get some. It's like Silly Putty, but sticky. first the wheel wells Then the engine Then the engine cover I punched out some BMF and applied it to the 3 pneumatic jacks to make them stand out. Then the weathering and suspension parts. Only cell phone pics for now. I will take nicer pics when I am done. Here is the color the chassis started with, without the clearcoat. The body will be the same color Still need the one cover on the chassis and the exhuast, and that part will be done. Next is the interior with the wiring and details, then on to the body.
Bennyg Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Nice. Those disc brakes look the business. Ben
OldNYJim Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 What an inspirational build! Masterful! Love your painting work so far!
Chillyb1 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 That is a very fine example of effective detail painting and weathering. The chassis looks spectacular.
Quick GMC Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks guys. Trying to get some more done on this before work takes over again.

Quick GMC Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 Did one a while back Your pictures aren't showing up
iamsuperdan Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I have this kit sitting, waiting to be started. Yours is looking amazing!
Quick GMC Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 I have this kit sitting, waiting to be started. Yours is looking amazing! The B pillars and thin parts of the nose are very easy to break, handle with caution
iamsuperdan Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Looking at your pics more. Can you fill me in on how you weathered the chassis? I'm new to this whole weathering thing, and yours is one of the most realistic I've seen.
Quick GMC Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) got a little bit more done, but still a ways to go. I didn't like the molded in detail, so I shaved off the door detail and made new handles and pull straps Not 100% done, but got the general shape Took some thin sheet styrene and sliced it up, I will add bolt detail when I mount these, these are the pull straps to shut the door I bought these tiny magnets a while ago, they are really strong. I got them to embed into the plastic to be unseen, which is what I did here. I mounted them, then filled the voids and gaps with super glue. Should be invisible when all painted. These surfaces don't mate directly together, but they are still strong enough to hold on Very difficult to mount these, you can't use tweezers because they won't come off Got them mounted to the body and the engine cover Just strong enough to hold it on. However, i think I may have a problem now, because when just sitting in place, it tilts towards the rear with the magnetic pull, and it will be worse with the photo etched wing pieces. I may have to do magnets in the front now. I am considering hacking up the exhaust to replace the bland kit turbos with these 3D printed turbos from TDR. I have to primer them and see how much detail I can get out of them first. Edited January 17, 2016 by Quick GMC
