Hi...how are you guys??

Well i still have to finish the porsche 944 but the weather is not well to do the paint part...so i start the assembly of this BMW, some pictures:

Sorry for the photo quality i took them with my cell phone

The box


Body with any bumpers on


Some parts


More parts


Testing rims...20" (aoshima Gram Light R57GT)






This is the idea..that the wheel stays very close from the body


I made some marks to see where I have to cut


I will have to put some great brake discs...theres a lot of space




Today I made some work on the chasis











Now...enough space for the wheels


I'll have to measure the correct length of the axis



Well, thats all i hope you like it

i forgot...color? maybe Mr Color N°28, something dark...that is the idea

I started this kit about a year and a half ago but lost motivation. Must get around to finishing it some day. I'll keep an eye on this one

Those wheels really fit the look of this car. So how far are you going with the other details?

Thanks for your coments guys!

I have remade the new fenders? (i guess that fender is the word) and i just have to sand a lot all the new parts to make a good fit...soon i will put more pictures (i have to download them to the PC)

I hate this old bwm but on these wheels looks sweet!!!

[luchoteam]

Well i have some new things done, so i put some pictures

I painted the interior


with flash (the color changes a lot)




Seats with some putty on the back to fill them






Door panel




Inferior part of the dashboard


Superior part of the dashboard


Im going to putt some wood vynil on the door panel




Well thats it...

See you!

I like this colour man some shiny wood wold look good!

Well i have news about the BMW...i almost finish the interior, im pretty happy with it, i know that you are used to see very impressive work, with very accurate details...but well this is my best, but also is my second model car so i try to do all the things slow and very carefully

I put some "cloth" (i guess taht the word is cloth) in the door panels


Then i cutt the extra cloth


And the interior almost done...i have to putt the steering wheel and some more little things




















Well thats all for today, i have more pictures but i will wait and try to update the post with more things

[Tompidom]

The only thing it would add is floking

[luchoteam]

Yes Tom, i want to put some flock but im doing some kind of research because i cant find it in my town, so im trying to buy it in Buenos Aires...so if im lucky i will putt some flock

[luchoteam]

well im working again with the BMW...so i have some news...

Chassis painted with semi gloss black




Quick assembly of suspension, wheels, the exhaust was painted and it has a rust/heat effect




Another detail i varnish the steering wheel rim


Then i realized that the original exhaust was very close of the wheels, so i take it out and re do it with evergreen (maybe i do something to cover the axes, i dont like how it looks, i want to give it a diferential look)


Start with the dremel


I did the measures, and i have like a preview of how it should look with a wire


Then i bend it


Quick assembly


Check if it is close to the bumper


Finally looks like this...i have to paint it and do the effect of rust/heat


Then, i primered it









This pictures show te color of the car, its a color from Peugeot catalogue




well thats all for today...
