Actually what u see is just a minor shine prep for the clearcoat. The actual shine of the car after polishing should look like this..

omg that's great shiny
my next 430 need to achieve like this as well^^

Very nice work! As a gumball fan myself this project interests me, maybe you should add some cheeky gumball logos on there too.

I want to build the yellow enzo with black wheels that participated in the 2004 gumball but dont have a way of printing decals.

Keep it up

Ok been busy the last few days working on decals....
Heres the final piece ferrari logos , everything is scaled down to 1/24.
Done with adobe illustrator. Hours of hard work i must say but it paid off!


Pictures of the lights and seats..





Enjoy!

Looking good, can't wait to see this finished. It's always good to have a couple of projects like this on your shelf that you know nobody else has.

Just a small update to keep things here fresh!
I did some smoke on the rear brake lights to give it a novitec look.. Also to create a more agressive look at the same time.
The ones on the left are paint clear red behind then smoke on the top .. As for the right pieces they are just spray smoke and nth else done to them.. So when the car is finished ill attach one red smoke rear light on each side (left and right) and similarly for the ones that are just smoke applied on them..



The inside of the rear lights are rubbed down with metalizers to give a real chrome shine to it.. Bringing out the rear lights.



Sry my model is dusty already :P

Now down to doing the undercarriage

Basic colour was semi-gloss black , applied two coats to give it good coverage and just right for the metalizers to have a nice chrome shine.

Untouched side of the exhaust system


Well this is what you get with just a nice rub of it




Easy to use and gives a wonderful chrome finish

The metalizer powder (Magic powder for me)


Enjoy!... In about 3 days time my decals should be done .. then the fun part starts!

Looking good, dude! But what's the hood say backward?

Oh, and great execution on a very unique idea!

[Gamerxz]

Very good work!
Nice color, great idea!

[Gamerxz]

Ok almost done ... the body decals are almost all set. After which ill move on to clearcoating them. Added some decals to show its a tuned 550 instead of a stock one and adjusted the ferrari badges on the side to improve the looks. Also added "1" to the front and sides as well as a small one at the rear to show its patrol car number 1...

Sorry model dusty :P










Enjoy!
