The original wheels are very nice:

and they look cool under this car:

But I had these Avs Model F7 wheels by Aoshima in mind, which are much nicer!

First thought was to paint it Fayence Yellow, but finally I choose this special VW Color. Mocca Brown Pearl.

One more very interesting WIP from you to follow :iceslolan
especially that I still have myself my GT3 to finish... and another one to convert into 2001 Deutschland Röhrl's "0" car. :biggrin:
Good choice for the wheels, and also the color.

Brown has become a rather popular colour recently!
would also look awesome in that 'Nordic Gold' colour you used for your Veilside GTR!

Yeah I think that looks cool too, but because I used it on the Veilside I now wanted a different color.

I have another one in my stash so maybe I'll paint that one in Nordic Gold. Thanks for the suggestion :D

Kris.

Nice wheels. Huge 20 inches...
What will be the interior's color ???

I'm going to build the same GT3 but in the red color. Classic one.
So I will be watching this topic often.

Keep going !

I don't know what color I'll use for the interior. Maybe tan or something? I always love that interiorcolor, but I use that too often on my models :rolleyes:

Looking forward to your GT3!

A while ago I primered the body with Zero grey primer.

Today I painted it Mocca Brown Pearl. I don't know why it's called Mocca Brown but my girlfriend doesn't see any brown it's more like grey. I'm colorblind so I don't ask me what color it's supposed to be :D

Now I really want to see it in clear!

Kris.

Doesn't look brown, your gf is right. Cant wait for the clear!
Andy

Brown will problaby show after clear coat. I like so far

Yesterday I clearcoated the body in 2K Clear from Zero Paints.

Now I will start with the chassis.

Kris.

Love the colour!!

Yes, what a great color for that car!
Your paint is always so nice and smooth!
Very nice.
Andy

Nice choice of color and wheels! Congrats!

I like what Im seeing. Keep it coming

The body is polished, and the windowtrims are painted:

Now I need to start on the chassis :D

Kris.

Back on the Porsche 911.

First I searched for new brakes as the original are too small and I can't use them with the lowering I planned.

I'll use the ScaleProdction brakes. Love them! I painted the resin calipers red and added APracing decals on them and clearcoated.

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/6539/remmen%20(2)%20(Custom).jpg

The wheels were stripped to remove the chrome. I primered them and painted them Alclad Gloss Black. Added the decals and this is how they look:

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/6539/velgen%20(1)%20(Custom).jpg

And mounted the brakes behind them.

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/6539/velgen%20(2)%20(Custom).jpg

I added the frontlight glasses. They need a amber area, but I don't like that. I kept them clear.

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/6539/velgen%20(3)%20(Custom).jpg

On the backside I painted the lower part red and upper part clear.

And a dryfit with the wheels.

Now I need to get further with the black interior and chassis.

Kris.

Not a big fan of the black wheels on this car but the work is very well done. I think the wheels were really nice before the black treatment and a better fit with the dark body color. Still curious to see the final result though.

The headlights without the amber area look better.

Now I really want to see it in clear!

Kris.

I really liked this color combo with the wheels but I guess it is more classical...

Yesterday I finished the interior. I kept it stock and simple. Just black and some aluminium details. The carpet is from the kit itself.

Now going further with the chassis. I need to finish it this year :D

Kris.

Looking good!
The dash looks nice and clean.
You painted the buttons so well! They dont look sloppy or like they were done by hand.
Awesome!
Andy

The chassis is also finished. I cutted away the mudguards to make room for the big wheels. I also trimmed the suspension and the inner side of the wheels. I gave the rear wheels some negative camber.

Then I could paint everything and added some wheatering.

The body is also finished. I added the plates, wipers and mirrors.

Meanwhile it's finished, i'll post the pics soon :).
