Sorry for the bad pictures. I will take better (more light and more in focus) later.

What do you think?

Interior is going to be two tone, light blue and black. Exterior is metallic black with metallic black wheels.

Going to be nice to see all these aftermarket parts come together!

sweet

If anybody can nail this project, you can.

nice collection, this should be impressive

I will deffinently keep an eye on this buildup, since I'm planning on started my Enzo using the Scale Motorsports super detail kit too

Metallic black with matching wheels, sounds like another stunner from you. Looking forward to more progress. :iceslolan

not to fond of ferrari or enzo, not my fav kind of cars, but this one is nice. might look acuallty turn out awsome

thanks everyone. I have researched evryones great ENZO threads and decided to try my hand at it.. will update more detailed pics tommorow

If U Do It Right, That Will Be Freakin Awesome !

That enzo sure costed u a small bomb...>.<
What abt some wirings for the engine bay to make it even more detailed?

This kit and the aftermarket parts are a dream for a lot of us.

I was thinking of buying it but i'm too unexperimented for this one, i'll have lots of closer looks to your thread to learn from your techniques and methods around this very detailed one.

Thank you again for sharing.

Vince.

Aftermarket heaven! Looking forward to mre.

It looks good.

super detail!!
I envy you!

I will deffinently keep an eye on this buildup, since I'm planning on started my Enzo using the Scale Motorsports super detail kit too

same here!!! keep the pics coming !!

Sorry slk320 for throwing off the thread, we already know it's gonna turn out awsome, no doubt about it!

Looks very good so far. I can't wait to see how this car will turn out. Knowing you, I'm sure you'll take your time and make it one amazing car.

yo I can already hear the WROOM WROOM WROOM from your Enzo. Keeps on the good work. :smile:

Nice. I love black.

It's quite funny how you started with the dash, I don't think a lot of people do that. Although, I must admit I would too. It's one of my favorite parts on the real Enzo. So very simple and yet, so amazing...
All the carbon work you have ahead of you is (or should be) quite a challenge. I tried CF for the first time on my Nissan R32 (currently in progress) and I must say it's not as easy as it seems to get it right! I torn apart several templates do get the hood looking satisfactory...

Now a little question/suggestion:
Why don't you build your Enzo as an "All Carbon" version? I'm sure it will look amazing metallic black with black wheels, but with all that CF and detail you already have, the all carbon version would be even better (in my HUMBLE opinion). I know it should take about 6 or 7 sheets of decal to achieve that, but hey...what's a "couple" bucks extra? :evillol:

By the way, could you give us a hint on HOW MUCH you have spent?Damn! :biggrin::biggrin:
Eheheheh, you have to be crazy, and must be crazy in love with the Enzo...:iceslolan

Best regards, and the best of luck,
Pedro.

I love the amazing detail! The project sounds awfully challenging with all the detail for a 1/24 scale model.

Nooo dont do it all carbon Im about to do that I just orderd all the stuff today...

Looks insane, cant wait to see some more progress

Wow!! Now that's really super detail Enzo.

This is probobly going to turn out to be one of the best Enzo's on AF (no offense to the other amazing Enzo's). I will defiatly follow this thread.

Here are the updated pics.

I started out with the dash board becuase its by far the most complecated decaling job...to make it look realistic is pretty hard so I decaled, painted the buttons, all the buttons are painted in appropriate colors and in appropriate order... keys in the ignition, key chain, bolts are photoetch items that come with the superdetail kit.. so are the keys and the keyring.

also, as a side note, its important to put a lot of gloss on the interior cf parts, as they are high gloss in the real thing:

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/1_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_001.sized.jpg

getting that decal over the vent surrounds was a royal pain

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_001.sized.jpg

brakes.... these amazing mini masterpieces are a 7 piece afairs with resin calipers and photoetch brake pads...although unpainted at this time and without bolts, they still are amazing...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/5_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/6_G_001.sized.jpg

the seats.. carbon fiber, deep gloss, will also be equiped with buttons for recline function and seat belt harness

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/7_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/8_G_001.sized.jpg

wheels, metal removable center knock offs, sakatsu valve stems

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/9_G.sized.jpg

test fitting.. rear wheels:

This is totally insane bad ass!!!!! Can't wait to see this ENZO finished!!!!!!!!!

OMG that is AMAZING!!!


Josh :sunglasse :sunglasse

Looks sweet as hell. Can't wait to see it done.

got seatbelts done!

you are going to make history with this one. looks awesome.
Still wondering how big of a dent this left in the wallet.

sk8ter in ny: so how much did all those goodies come to for that enzo?
paulshpirt: over 250.00 usd
sk8ter in ny: dayum!!

small price to pay for perfection

Sweet Lord! Did you guys see the calipers/rotors???!!! Is that a separate caliper for the parking brake? Dude you better plumb this beeach, I expect full hydraulic detail with liquid in the reservoirs too :grinno:
I am really impressed with the dash, it's a masterpiece in itself SLK.
Keep posting the progress.

Sh*t man, thats off the hook. Great work, keep us posted.

thats all so amazing!!
how do you get the dash CF parts to fit/sit so well?? tried 10 times and :banghead:

Does any one have pics of the carbon Enzo??

that is so damn sweet, keep up the good work.

I am lucky, the superdetail kit from scale motorsports comes with carbon fiber templates and they are dead on! as soon as you put some Microsol, they just melt into the shape you want!

Excellent product. So far my two favorite CF decals are SMS and SAS, both conform very well to complex surface.

Holy shit! The detail is amazing!!! I cant believe this is a 1/24 scale model any longer. It reminds me of the 1/8 Scale Ferrari F40 Build going on.

Beautiful work so far! I cant wait to see more!

those wheels are bad ass .....along with the rest of it

This is simply unreal! Class is now in session!:sunglasse

SWEEET .. Keep us posted :bigthumb:

I think we just got served!!! lol

Some updates.

I got the photo cd from scale motorsports and its super super detailed, areas that I have never found photos on, over 250 photos of chasis, motor and interior.

Thank you SMS!

Here is the door panels... let me just say what pain it is to decal it straight with its amount of complez angles and concave surfaces.... i shot a couple of gloss coats over it to make it look like real cf..

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/1_G_002.sized.jpg

Made seats.. carbon fiver back, sides, intalled the side mounted lumbar supprt buttons, harness and entched details...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_002.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_002.sized.jpg

completed dash board, sorry for the fuzzy pics:

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_002.sized.jpg

what do you think so far? the decal work is worse then my DTM CLK...

Simply marvelous! And the doors will open to show off this CF'd interior! I eagerly await the engine/chassis progress. Keep it up!

Wow! The CF work is awesome! I am assuming that is SMS CF? The detail work is looking awesome.

yes, its all from the SMS transkit.

brilliant build!

Great job on the CF. Seatbelt also looks good. Damn, everything is nice.

More updates, Finished preliminary work on the engine pleniums. decals are sms cf, all the wiring and proper lines, ignition wires, etc., photoetch runners, photoetch bolts, etc...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/1_G_003.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_003.sized.jpg

the headers.. notice the heat wraps, oe emmision sensonsors, heat discoloration...now notice the little photoetch badges on the header exits...they are there for a very good reason...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_003.sized.jpg

photo of the real engine and headers.. notice on the headers there are same welded badges.. they all say "Ferarri Motorcompany" ;)

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/5_G_002.sized.jpg

mock of the engine.. there are a number of additional wires I still have to run, inlduing oil lines, cooling lines, etc..

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_003.sized.jpg

Please comment. I would like to make everything as realistic as possible!

thank you for looking.

Beautiful work!! :bigthumb:

Very amazing and detailed work slk :thumbsup: the CF is looking so awsome :iceslolan. Keep up the good work!

SLK320, those aren't ignition wires in the picture of the real car, those are wires coming to fuel injectors. Consult your references, a picture from a different angle will show you where they go more clearly. What you did is you wired 7 nuts holding the cam cover in place.

The lug nuts are still there, I checked the refferences, I will post more pics..I agree the the location of the wires is a little off... but that the best I could do, once everything is secured together the differences will not be noticeable.

I know that ENZO has elctronic ignition so the two leading wires out of the end of the cam cover are the ignition wires.

my goal, I guess is to make a realistic looking replica, so the specific wire location, especially ones that will be ultimately mostly covered are not as important.. I guess.

But I apreciate your comments, they are very helpfull, as is anyone who knows the real car! keep em coming please!

Freakin awesome mate. Is the thin rail round the airbox the original kit part or did you make your own? Its just I don't know how you could get the carbon on without removing that bit. Oh and what colour did you use for the engine block?

Also are you gonna put the scrunchy reflective foil around the exhaust?


Good luck and keep it coming.

Cheers

Farrokh

Damn. Seeing all those details of your build makes me want to throw my Enzo into the trashcan and it'll never see the light of the world again! Excellent build. Can't wait for it to be completed.

Totally Awesome, I Am Speechless, Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful work on the engine!

A critique: what a shame, such a beautifull job for such an ugly car!

No, no! I'm joking!!!!!!!! :lol: But I'm still thinking all these skills (kit, transkit, modeler....) would be much better applied on something like an Aston Martin Vanquish, for example!...

CF decals look real good, it's the first time I see so convincing 1/24 CF decals!... and well applied, of course!
The wiring job completely astonishes me!
...
I'll keep searching for a bad comment... See you tomorrow!...

I can no longer finish my Enzo. It looks like absolute shit compared to your beauty.

Amazing job on the CF decals. The airbox looks just like the real thing. Keep up the good work on this sexy Ferrari!!

your cf work is amazing, looks very very cool!

This is the sort of thread that makes me want to put all my tools away and take a nap. I guess that means its a good thing that I hadn't seen it until now, a few more weeks without a modelling inferiority complex!

Great work Love the detail Detail is fun for everyone, fun to make and fun to look at, especially when it's spot on like this is. Hooray for SLK!

gorgeous work u have there...... :iceslolan :worshippy

here is more progress. headlights were coated with cf decals, the actual lights were replaced with MV lenses from ho railroad supplies. look much more realistic.

ok is an understatement...

god dude that is so sexy...

OMG, how could i have missed this. This car is more than a model. :screwy: Im still trying to find out what it is but it sure is more than a model. It's real!. :lol: Beautiful. Love the progress, your lights, interior, and engine are just crazy. Amazing Detail. :thumbsup:

After you finish this, you are going to need a shrink!!! :evillol: Absolute chaos :smokin:

WOW CARBON MONSTER @2:00am. Good job. :smile:

:iagree:

i so so so wish i had got that carbon set, it looks amazing! so sleek and sexy. and the carbon looks so realistic.
Cant wait to see more, its a great build!

so when you fire up the engine for the first time will you take a video? excellent work! I can't wait to see how you detail the suspension/ chassis!

Should this be moved to the Ferrari forum? I dont believe this is a model.

Great job so far, excellent work on the CF.

Stunning!!!:sunglasse

Sweet Jesus!
Smart idea using MV lenses; they look real, just like the rest of the model. :biggrin:

:ylsuper: EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!! :ylsuper:

just one little thing though... are those brushmarks on the airbox?? :p

Some of the best cf work I've ever seen! Enzo would be proud!

Sweet Jesus!
Smart idea using MV lenses; they look real, just like the rest of the model. :biggrin:


hehe, no, its just a base coat, ths will be sprayed with flat black and sealed with semigloss.. don't worry ;)

Thanks for everyone's positive comments. I got done wiring up the fuel lines and building the rear shock tower with shocks and springs and hydrolic lines.. pictures later on today.

I was considering buying the enxo kit befor i jined af then after seeing your review on the super detail kit i bought the kit within 15 minutes of online searching for the best price (29.99 was as low as i could find), now all i have to do is find enough money for the super detail kit amazingly beautiful. This is the kind of detail kit ive been hunting for since i did my mclaren m8b

WOW, great kit :icon16:

Mored updates time:

finished constructing the basic shape of the nose, this is not easy as the trunk lid separates two sides of the front clip.. here is the pic:

and here you can see the new fuel filler door that will be operational on the completed model.

I also started construction of small underhood items, that needed extra attention in terms of manufacturer labels, data plates, proper wiring and connectors, etc.

********faint***********

i'm at a loss for words... I like the silver box with the manufacturer label and the springs and the wiring and the engine and the opening hood and in fact everything.

its awesome, i love the engine, it looks sooooo real.

keep up the nice work.

Man this is good, I am saving all of your pictures for time when I will start building my Enzo. Great work :iceslolan

WOW really awesome!!! But how do you made the manufacturer labels, data plates?? do you bought them ???

Amazing job! I have never seen a model with such detail.

Dude the detail on this Enzo is nuts! Keep it moving cause I can't wait to see it finished.

All it will need is some 1:24 th scale gasoline and it will run!!:sunglasse

:worshippy :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy

couldnt agree more

I fall clear out of my chair with every update. My eyes thank you for posting, but my butt does not. Great work, just fantastic, beautiful detail! Us = jealous.

Damn, that's crazy....

Holy Shit!!!!!!!

thanks everyone,

The manufacturer decals are actually from aircraft models. 1/48 scale airplane sometimes yeild terrific manufacturer data plates and under the hood stickers.

I think it was WIllimo who wanted some company to make an underhood manufacturer decals, I agree!!! all these superdetail kits don't include simple decals for underhood stuff..

Yup it was. I've also found HO and N scale railroad decals work, though they tend to be expensive and you waste a lot of decal.

Dude, the engine looks sicks. i'm speechless :bigthumb:

Hate to add nothing but more praise but, you are exhibiting the clean building style of a Tamiya "Master Modeler".

Great job!

Bill

INSANE, INSANE, I called my shrink, he will see you now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome

either you have insanely big hands (shame on you, working on a 1:1 car), or that is the most detailed model kit i've ever seen...

Sensational stuff SLK, eagely awaiting updates :)

Colorado-Carpena print a decal sheet featuring engine and chassis markings. MediaMix Hobby in Singapore carry them, although I see they are out of stock at the moment.

http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1507

wow, thats pretty cool, I wish I knew about it. I will palce my "waiting" order! I am still going to try to work on a decal contigency sheet featuring most common underhood decals.. and thing slike "vin numbers", oil change stickers on the driver side top window, dealer registration stickers, etc... I think it could bring new life to some models.

all I can say is WOW, i don't know what else I can say.

dayum :) keep it up, you are doing great job

Cool. Really super detailed.

Does all the wires come with the detail kit??

no, only braided hoses come with the kit, the rest of the wires are detial master and radio shack ;)

One thing you did wrong out of all this great excellent build, the pedals are backwards. Guess everyone didn't pay attention to that. Great job SLK.

I'll have to disagree with you on the pedals, the pic I'm looking at right now look exactly like that.
BTW, excellent craftsmanship on the model. I wish I could do that.

The pedals are the way they are supposed to be... the dead pedal is jut weird like that.

progress pics are here:

Started to work on the monoqoque. in the real car the entire construction is carbon fiber inlay so I tried to mimic it.

the decals and cigarett foil was a GIANT PAIN IN THE A$$~~~~ :p

and a little of this :banghead:

plus :smokin:

But it turned out ok... will try to finish the rear clip soon.

wow, i am a bit scare when putting down the cf decals on this monoqoque

:eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::e ek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

Hi,

You said cigarette foil was a pain in the ass, what glue did u used ? as i'll have the same thing to do soon.

Tanx a lot.

Vince.

I've robed a :eek2: from GTMike400: I've got nothing else to say... except you're crazy! :lol:

Thats some impressive CFing your doing there. Great work, update us soon.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Outstanding looking so far.

So the Enzo doesn't have a clutch? Is the tranny sequential? That's no fun. Fantastic work, I've got to agree with everyone. Just fantastic. The cigarette foil is a great resource, it looks perfect. Someone needs to start ordering it direct from the manufacturer and sell it, I only get it from my friends and by then it's all crumpled up... Oh wow, fantastic build! You've got me saving my nickles and dimes so I can get the SMS kit for the Williams F1.... superdetailing looks like fun!!

Thanks everyone, I used white glue (krystal klear) to attacht the foil. Foil is pretty thin and easily pliable.

incredible work man....those cfs.... :worshippy

More updates time.

I sprayed all carbon fiber with generous gloss, so the monocoque is looking realistic. Fitted with interior and firewall and dashboard... here are the pics:

Hi slk, can u please tell me what brand of gloss spray u used on your decals ?

Many tanx in advance.

Vince.

I use testors gloss or Tamiya clear, or sometimes one on top of the other. They do not react to one another.

Speechless... Closer on the way to perfection than any plastic-made kit I've seen before!... (look at that shine ont the sides: it's so smooth!)
CF= Carbon Fever!!!!

simply stunning! BTW maybe i missed it but what will be the body color ??

the color will be mettalic black, same as the wheels.

Holy...undescribeable.

Man that is coming out really good, keep it up

Totally awesome work SLK. I could never do a build like that if I lived a thousand years. Wowza!

J. Barry

I'm totally in awe. No words come to mind to describe this. I bet you'll even order the Ferrari red paint just to match...that would be sick.

I'm totally in awe. No words come to mind to describe this. I bet you'll even order the Ferrari red paint just to match...that would be sick.

I thought he said he was painting it black? Also, Ferrari paint is just like any other paint, except for quality. You could probably go out to your Auto paint store and ask for some of it, I forgot who makes the Ferrari paint though, but they do sell it all over. Its not called Ferrari paint either, just like Strawberry red or something. Not trying to flame you or anything though.

TO COOL! Awesome work, I still have my shrink on speed dial for you!!!!!

It's Ferrari Red..plain and simple. Now, marrio andretti red...that's a 1off paint.

The paint will be metallic black, it will match the wheels.

Here is the progress pics, but I have to appologise, because I was experimenting with a new shareware (vuepro) and unfortunately it left watermarks in the picture :(

Looks fresh to death man. Love the detail, those rear breaks are just crazy. Seriously love this car and am looking forward to whats next with alot of interest :iceslolan i like the money symbols everywhere, everything looks better with money on it :lol:

Looks good, but its hard to see through the raining money.:banghead:

here is the updated version. this is the tool bag from Ferrari that is located in the front boot area. Since the front compartment will be hnged and opened I decided to make it a little more fun... so I used real leather! Thanks for the technique I learned from Alex Kustov, from www.italianhorses.net, I got the leather real thin and pliable.

here are the pics:

what do you think?

Beautiful touch to it. I never really thought about leather inside models. I sure will try it in the future.:iceslolan

crazy detailing effort! great job

if you want good leather working techniques go to www.italianhorses.net for Alex's great tutorials. As you can see I am a big fan of his work :)

Coming along nicely. The water marks are kinda annoying.

This has started excellent it is getting better and better everysecond... I am having a hard time finding words now :p

Wow impressive but can we have engine pics without the watermarks ??? It's really hard to see some details !!!

I will take better pics today and post more

as promised, here are some better pics of whats done on this car to date..

feedback please. Again, negative or positive feedback all welcomed.

Cool. Not much room in the front of that thing, eh? I like how you did the calipers in red, that gives it an even more of a performance look.

Nice job...I love the detail.

I'm in love with that engine!

<---- speechless

Absolutely gorgeous. I need to get one of these even though I hate the enzo but it will look great next to a F50 :)

where is the front shocks on this "car"

the front shocks are coming. I have already constructed them, just haven't placed them in. its a shame that they will be covered by the luggage rack.

will start prepping the body soon...

paul: why u soo sex?

Is that battery charged up??

F A N T A S T I C O !!

That is a shame about the shocks...those are sweet. Are the rads topped up with coolant, or are you doing that later?

Damn thats really good!!! I want to start mine too :-)) !! Are the front shocks the normal shocks from the kit ??

Looks great, as usual.

Have the body painted, 6 coats of black metallic Du Pont and 3 coats of clear pearl.

Will need to polish it later...

what do you think?

Looks glossy, it's kinda hard to tell with the photos being dark, but if the rest of the car is any indication I'm sure the paint looks fantastic.

i think it's f'ing awesome... cant believe i missed the engine bay update too... looks so friggin killer

Looks good, but like they said, lighting isnt to great.

Nice detailed buildup. I added radiator hoses to mine like you have and they created alot of problems with the fit of the engine cover - beware!

wow, there doesnt seem to be a thing as too detailed for you !

this build is really one of the most thorough I ve seen in quite a while now! keep it up , detailman !

Olivier

wow, that looks reeeeally cool

There is never anything called too much detail.

Too much work on the other hand....

Still lovin' it, slk. This place, seriously ruining kits. Subway's FD, Nismo's Xanavi, now your Enzo... I want to see this badboy in life when done, no amount of pics will capture its detail and thoroughness.

thanks everyone! I test fit the radiator, and I am going to have to bend the lines little, but should fit with little problems. sorry fo the bad quality of the pics, but once I let it dry a little and polish it out I will tkae some day light photos.

Wow, I just picked up modelling and it's really making me want to pay attention to detail. Inspiring really. Amazing detail man. Brilliant job.

start putting things together, putting the chasis together, including fuel filler, fuel filler caps, wiring and some other, minor detail.. now its all coming together nicely...

Looking great looking. Love the detail of the CF.

Bellisimo!

HOLY CRAP... it's so sexy!

Prepare for stupid comment, I think you have more CF on your Enzo than SAS has in stock.

Great job so far.

WOW That is gunna be a legendary Ferrari even enzo himself would be proud of GREAT JOB!!!!!!

kragyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Close to the finish, fitted most major parts to the chasis. the chasis is now ready to reaceive the body parts, but still have to finish radiators and linkages and some minor data plates, and details...

the rear suspension is made up too and came out pretty good.
here are the pics:

That is an incredible piece of art.

Would you kindly stop taking pics of the real thing? Great job on such a detailed monster. This s one of the best AF has ever seen.

Just absolutely fantastic. In every way.

Damn...that thing's hot. Metallic Black is a weird paint to photograph.

*!%@&$#$%@&!!!! awesome. Thnaks for the progress thread, I now know what is achievable.

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/Pict0006_003.sized.jpg

The never-seen-here-before pic! Thank you for making us visiting the slk320 factory!

slk320, please tell me you are putting black wheels on that thing. It looks awesome !!!!

slk320, please tell me you are putting black wheels on that thing. It looks awesome !!!!

I believe he said he was. I think thats why he said he was painting it black, to match the wheels.

Yep, Metallic black wheels:

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/9a.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/9b.sized.jpg

They look like steel.

what does? the wheels? may be its the light.. but they are black metallic, same paint as the body.

That is truely amazing.. Can't wait to see more progress:)

as good as it gets... amazingly beautiful job

Damn that looks so sweet. Black wheels on a black car.

what does? the wheels? may be its the light.. but they are black metallic, same paint as the body.

I meant they look like metal rims, that were powdercoated.

oh, hehe, the paint went on pretty good...I am going to start polishing the body today/tommorow.

Amazing job, keep the updates coming.

here is the body, test fitted together:

***disclaimer***
The body parts were polished, cut and waxed, they still need touch up and to remove debris from polishing. They are merely tacked on without any real attempt to allign it. Yes, I am aware that the rear window is the wrong color, It will be repainted.

***end of disclaimer***

:iceslolan


I got a great shine, but it was a real pain to polish all the separate pieces.

Thanks for looking!

Man that is looking so damn good. I am planning to make a Nero/Tan enzo soon, but your one looks so fine!! Ive got something to look up to now!

Very nice job. Great shine. BTW the rear window is painted the wrong color :grinno:. Just had to say that, sorry.

Very nice.
Although I wish you hadn't painted it metallic black. Maybe it is just me, but after doing such a fantastic job on all that detail the size of the flake in the paint makes it look unrealistic. Hopefully it's just the flash making it look that big.
I'm stuck with the same thing on the Group A Escort I'm building at the moment. The metalic blue decals have an oversize flake :banghead:

Very nice.

:iagree: Its not just you, I was thinking the same thing, but either way its a fantastic build.

super detailed is an understatement in this case!!
That is one serious Enzo.
Fantastic!

yeah, its probably too big for the scale, but there is nothing else I can do now... if there is no diect light on it then it looks fine. The paint is automotive so the flake is adjuster to the 1:1 car color.

Damn looks good. I forgive you and your non matching rear window.

Is it too late to paint those shiny brake discs?

I thought about doing them in true "carbon fiber" color, but they look so damn cool once the black wheels are on... :) I think I am going to deviate from realism here and just do the shiny disks.

black enzo.........SWEEEEET

Hell, I like it just the way it is!!:sunglasse

yeah this car rocks ...!! BTW can you show me some pics of the front hood hinges?? because i still don't know how to do it and the instructions aren't very helpful in this case..!

Shinny! :eek:
http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/Pict0010_001.sized.jpg

Look's Fantastic!!. To bad you polished through the paint on the edge of the door's. But I know you can fix it!.:sunglasse:sunglasse

Yeah I polished through a few edges and window frames, but it will be fixed promptly.

Nice paint job! So shiny.

updated body panels...

rear clip is done, added lights, pe mesh , spoiler, custom l.e.d. rear light, pe emblem, custom lettered "test" license plate for german tuv fascility.

You are truly awsome, I think the Idea for the metallic black is wonderful. This is one to be truly proud of.

an amazing build no doubt... great choice of color, it's all coming together it looks like... my fav enzo so far

It's great, blah blah.. hurry up and finish for God's sake! Just kidding, this thing has been beautiful from the ground up, and is worth the wait absolutely.

amazing...again

Really doesn't look like plastic-made!

SWEET!:sunglasse

I can only say WOW, because i've run out of other nice words to say about this car.

That is the greatest enzo i think on this whole site.

The PE mesh on the bumpers is beautiful. Nice CF on the rear fenders too. Man those disc brakes/calipers are to die for!
That's a dizzying amount of detail on the rear clip.
Did you plumb the rear calipers yet?

You've turned the epitome of Transformer cars into a beauty!

You need to get a professional photographer to take some high quality shots. Be a shame not to view it as well as possible.

man thats really super detailed!!! Can't wait to see it finished!!

The detailing is just out of this world!!

Maybe it is because there is so much black on your car, but there does not seem to be any CF on the cross bar - behind the seats and where the engine cover attaches to. I thought this should be CF'd?? Any idea?

rofl dude stop bringing back super old posts...

Hey, this one I can use!

Hey, this one I can use!

Are you building an Enzo?? If so, i am as well. Also, really great to have some women in this place. Everytime i have mentioned my hobby to my female friends, their eyes seem to glaze over and they go to sleep, lol. Anyway, really cool to have you here.

oh my golly jeez of mighty man! that is sexy!

well i admit this build is super nice but the last time someone posted in the thread was over a year ago. what happened?
