Open Interface Tom's SC430

Hi,

this is my Tamiya Open Interface Tom's SC 430.Built mostly oob, I've only added the bonnet pins from photo-etched parts and a subtle weathering.

Somehow I am with the photos are not completely satisfied. I think you can see the weathering not really.
I must have only time to get used to my new camera (new is relatively - I had it for almost 3 years - since I have completed no more model).

That is gorgeous.
Props on a job well done!

Nice work, Looks amazing!!

Wow, looks like a pretty flawless build to me. I'm especially impressed by the panel lines and how I'm glad your paint and clear aren't laid on too thick. I like the mix of the showroom shine with the subtle weathering detailing. Good job! A fine example for an oob build.

Looks great! I love theses SC430s.

Rob

Looks great!

This is beautiful! I like the subtle weathering around the car and cleaness all around!

Absolutely love it. Fantastic job!!! Would love to see the build next time.

well done

This is the first time I see 'proper' ;) pictures of SC430 model and I must admit I am surprised. On all those low res, small photos I have seen so far, the car looked crap and now I can see it is a beautiful racer.

Great job. I am impressed. :)

Hi,

thanx for all your comments.

Yes, the panel lines are always important to me. I do not like when they (or other details) are flooded with paint.

Therefore, I engrave the panel lines first ever deeper.

Here they are engraved on the left side, right they are original

Here can see how deep they are after. The disadvantage is sometimes, that the decals do not extend all the way down.

wrx_triggerhappy, with build reports I always have my difficulties. One problem is that I sometimes interrupt the work for a long time or only sporadically working on a model.
Sometimes I plan to take pictures - but then forget it. :rolleyes:

But if they have any questions I can answer that.

Greetings, Jens

wow! I like it soooo much))) very shiny. awesome! JGTC cars are very cool.

really very nice!!!.very clean aswell.

Thanx.
I like the JGTC cars too - I'm building currently also others. The Castrol Mugen NSX '98 is almost done, it just needs the wheels and rear wing.

:eek7: Wow, waht a shiny car with some nice little weathering. :eek7:
