Work in progress

here are some of the first pics of the r34 I am making. The first is of the first base coat on the body and the white undercoat on the rear wing (to be finished in red).

This second picture shows the devil of model making, leaving cat hairs all though paint jobs and pulling fresh painted pieces onto the floor

But I can't stay mad at him for long

My cat likes to knock my completed cars off the window sill.

Jerk!

My 2 male cats don't play with cars, only like stuff toys

mmm maybe I should be glad.. :huh:

ok now for more pics. I'm taking my time on the main body so there are no new pics of that yet.

Engine, I really should take the pics in sunlight not the little halogen desk light I have

here are the inner doors (had to strip the inital paint (AS-12) off as the black wasn't painting properly over it

(you live and learn)

and a quick question.

Is TS-13 what you use for the final clear coat on your models?????[

Yes. I wouldn't think to clear coat the seat, though. It should be out of harms way enough. Plus, the contrast between the paint on the seat and the decal harness will give the illusion of separate parts. Clear coating would hide that contrast.

tazdev · 02-06-2002, 01:54 AM

thats what I was thinking to. Just need some clarification so I don't F it up

pkw1 · 02-06-2002, 04:31 AM

that volk wheel looks really good, and man, after seeing those seatbelt decals, I'm going to go buy some aftermarket stuff.

Bobj · 02-06-2002, 04:49 AM

That looks great i have that kit and will be starting soon but i can't buy the paint AS-12 would chrome silver do the job or flat aluminium, i could even use titanium silver. let me know what you think.

tazdev · 02-06-2002, 11:26 PM

The CHROME SILVER is the best match that I can find in my selection of paints. Had to patch up some scrapes and marks on the roll cage and the chrome silver is a bloody close match

Haven't ever seen the titanium silver so I can't comment on that one

turbos86 · 02-06-2002, 11:46 PM

So the car is in red? does that mean ALL the white part are decals? would be a bitch to put on if it is:o

tazdev · 02-07-2002, 01:58 AM

the main body is white with some red decals and some red paint, I'm trying hard to make it so it will all look like decals.

body colors first coat

completed interior (100%) this is the tidiest interior I have done so I am as happy as a pig in Sh!t

Now no more pictures until complete, don't want to bore you all
