FXX...long WIP

[89Sunbird]

Freakin awesome engine! I also picked up that Tamiya weathering set, but havent played around with it too much yet...

And moving pedals?! Dayum!!!!

You are right up there with your efforts on making this a suprdetailed FXX!
Those airinlets are great.
I have the same PE from Lion roar, bought it just for the fans. It's a nice set though.
Keep updates coming.

Really great job so far. Thanks for showing us how the new Tamiya weathering kits work and the effects you can get with them...yet another purchase I didn't know I was going to make...;-)>

So will this one be the bare CF version or is this just a warm-up?...;-)>

Keep up the great work and thank you for taking the time to share it with the rest of us!

p.s. Get a camera with a better Macro function, we're missing half of the incredible detailing you're doing!...;-)>

Overall engine looks awesome, and the weathering job looks perfect, very realistic i'll be waiting for a new update

update for you:

Worked on the wheels nuts a little - PE cover, overlayed by decals, painted clear red




Here they are all assembled and ready to go



Also finished the brake rotors, all assembled, painted and detailed



I have also beek working on the rotors - kit pieces were hollowed, detailed and metal parts added. These will receive brake pads as well



Front radiators. Decided not to go with the PE set - rather tried to detail the kit units



Also started on dashboard - waiting for some knobs and swiches from Mr. Robrex, otherwise, I started cutting off vents, CF decaling small pieces, etc..


What do you think?

[OrangeR]

Wow!
Those radiators look great! I'm guessing you used silver from the weathering set C right? Great work!
Now, the breakes are truly excellent captured the carbon color right on.
I spended a long time doing the wheel nuts for my BMW and thought I got it right... Then I saw yours and well... back to the modeling table

Been following this thread since it started. Awsome work so far, your detailing skills are amazing. From the last post it seems like you got a new camera? If not and you are still stuck without micro, I would suggest that you take the pic from a distance in the best resolution you have then crop the pic in photoshop or whatever. HTH

yeah I am trying to work on the camera set up... I know I just need a better camera anyway.

OrangeR - the wheel nuts are threaded AcuStion aftermarket items. No way would the kit styrene parts look that good. I am sure yours are going to come out awesome - like the rest of your build.

Slk bro... u have done an amazing job on this FXX ... ill be modelling my next fxx after yours..! Fan-Tas-TicA bro

[auw12]

Superb works as usual~~~ Keep it up! Like the wheels very much!

[bhop73]

Awesome work.

[robrex]

Great work Paul.
I would suggest you reconsider and use the photo-etch on the fans? Although the kit piece looks great how you have painted it, the PE would look that much better IMO and you have super detailed everything else anyway. Also you are planning on displaying the car open aren't you?

[slk320]

Yeah - I guess you are right, I am going to go ahead and scrap these and create new fans from PE.
