Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin DBS

Hi dear guys, it's been several decades since last time I posted something. I'm now very much an old fart rather than the moon-faced teenager in your distant memories. Being buried by the works I was away from beloved hobby for a long time, and trust me, there wasn't a single day that I stopped dreaming about this moment---geting back to the community! Things were getting better and I could eventually spare some time on modeling, so I think it might be the time. Since I work relatively slowly and was still lacking modeling hours, I thought the best way of doing this was with a complete model instead of a forever-going WIP. Then I grabbed a less demanding tamiya kit in case I forgot how. So here it is, not perfect but I'm really happy that I can finally build something out! I've tried a new way to present, hope you like it. Any comments, criticisms, questions and discussions are welcome, just say something, guys! I missed you!!!

Re: Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin DBS

The model is very good - apparently no problems getting back from the break there.

The thing that blows me away is your presentation! I honestly don't think I've ever seen better in one of the top modelling magazines. The photography is top drawer, and the layout is professional. As for the writing...well, I've run out of superlatives.

There have been many outstanding projects posted on this forum, and while I don't generally get excited about road cars, this post really stands out.

I'm looking forward to your next project - please don't wait too long.

Stunning presentation Tang! I too had problems with the panel lines etching on this kit. Coincidentally I built and painted mine exactly the same as yours but I must say, yours is better than mine in every detail! Well done on a flawless kit, it's beautiful!

Flawless!! absolutely awesome! Top notch job! The body finish is superb! The details added to the engine bring those parts to life.

Congratulations budy for this great work!

And the presentation... Oh boy you just went way off the expectations!! Amazing!

Re: Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin DBS

Is the intake plenum really white? I did mine with flat white, as all the pictures I saw online but, I doubt if it is light gray or white.
