kit no: SP345
build time: September 3 2016 - October 28 2016


Been sick for awhile, which left me little chance to work on this one, but slowly I'm getting closer to the end. Two finished builds in one GB, things can't get any crazier [smile]

First off - high gloss finish using 2K clear lacquer.  Not taking any chances on this one, with the huge decals, so I'm going for a (near) perfect finish.



Then I went back to the bumpers.  I didn't like the look of the metalizer paints, and decided to try something else.  I had a pot of Kosutte Gin San metal powders (kinda like the Uschi van Rosten stuff I guess).  Not sure if you can see it on the photo:  the left side is not done, the right side had a coat of the metal powders.  I think it looks better.



Some little bits and bobs



Of course, I had to go lose a part, so I'm going to have to scratch build the gear stick.

The axels and exhaust system was added to the bottom plate, and it received a touch of drybrushing



And then the part this build is all about: the decals.  I mist say, they are absolutely stunning











Well, time to put in the glasswork, which is a point where I usually screw up, and finish it off.  Still wondering if I want to paint tome stuff in a metalizer color (the "bar" thingies that run down, you can see them on the last picture) or just keep it like this.  I might keep it like this.
