F12 Berlinetta

After some research I decided to work on an F12. Figured I would get away from red and black combo, so I chose a yellow/blue combo. I will drop the stance, chnage the wheels, add CF and try to make working doors (remmeber I said try). I ordered hobby design's PE and scale finishes paint.

I was hoping to work it as a double wip, but my buddy is flooded with work.

I started by following Exotics Builder's suggestion of using 458 sets

The 2 blue tones are close. I didn't want a huge contrast. I'm also going to apply a wash to bring out the lines

Here's the velvet paper I talked about. After making templates I cut pieces out

Soak them in water so the paper backing peels off

You can see the thickness difference.

That's all for now...

Ohhh cold shoulder haha. I forgot to metion that I'm using hobby design's pe set, which is pretty nice. Anyway here's a quick update.

Heres how the velvet paper looks. Any gaps can be hit with flat paint without a problem

The PE includes a nice door trim piece. I used aluminum mesh to replicate what I believe are speakers. I love 2k clear
