Re: Topless Trio: 348ts

Thanks guys.

Now we have a problem: color is choose, painted, cleared and at last polished but.... simply you CAN'T see it: really isn't tricky but impossible let you see this color.

Ok let me explain better: color (Azzurro California) reflect everithing around, a green panel switch it to turquoise, a pink one to violet... normal uh?

Ok the result is supposed to be near the following one, and really IS!



And all I'll show is..









Right now I just polished the TS13 (airbrushed) with a (very) light wet sanding of 3M 2000grit, followed by 6K and 12K Micromesh: not compound yet, and I guess it wouldn't be needed, just a good wax...

Re: Topless Trio: 348ts

PS: obviously it's just a fitting test
PS2: color are a bit de-saturated compared how I see on PSD, so in real life the result is mid-way between the simulation and the real pict... uffffff

Anyone would create a "Modelling Color Sync"? Apple Computers may have the Know-how...

Wow, painted now!

Looks terrific- but I feel a bit better about off-green pics of my GT2.

Re: Topless Trio: 348ts

Thanks a lot guys. I felt the finish line near since I remember the engine bay... those job is all to do... and trunk hinges& pistons... nightmare..

I found also a great news: american 348 siders (like mine since the belt config.) got kat. and 1 only silencer insthead 2, I guess it would to produce a better sound.. Anyway I stealed kats from a modena (same kind) and started conversion: I'll show later the job.

What I would like to share has to do with fuel cell and radiators hoses, I tried to simulate the back fuel cell wall (it would be covered by heat shield, as per the firewall) and hoses was done by 1.5mm diam brass pipes, turned & seamed. More soon.

Re: Topless Trio: 348ts

So where will this project? The construction is fantastic. I like to see the concern with all the details and the painting was very good.
