500SEC Lorinser finished pics.

Hi, i finally finished this kit, Mercedes 500SEC Lorinser by tamiya.
Painted with Gloss Black and Light Gun Metal.
Hope you enjoy the pics and :feedback: please.

Nice "old lady" dude. :smile:

Classic! :sunglasse

Looks good. I almost bought that kit, but I spent the money on a girl instead. :sly:
Maybe it was the right decison, maybe it wasn't.

It was kind of. She's cool and pretty. I think it was worth it. We'll just have to wait and find out.

Excellent work!!! In the right setting, it could pass for the real thing!! :eek: :sunglasse

I use cotton swab (put a very little paint on them). and work slowly along the emblem, as for the window trim, mask them first with masking tape, and paint them with chrome color.

Thanks everybody for the nice comment. I'll take some outdoor pics of this model and try to post them tomorrow.

Nice and clean finish.

More pics, :cool:

Great subject + clean build = great model :cool: I bought one of these kits back when HLJ had them in sale, but I don't know when I'm going to start it and how I'm going to build it. Maybe a totally eighties pimp/drugdealer style or in a standard style without spoilers.

Very, :bigthumb: very nice

Excellent job, looks like the real thing. I just asked a colleague to come over to my desk, I told him I was “thinking of buying this car, come take a look at it”. After laughing and telling me what a pimp’s car it is, he looked at it for a good while and didn’t make any comments about it not looking real! What more praise could you ask for!! :D :D

Any advice?

I really wish to view your nice work!!

Why keep bringing back these old threads???

none of your attachments will open for me

This thread is so old that, understandibly, no pictures work. I'll close this thread and will ask everyone not to bring up dead threads unless: a) it's your thread, and b) if you have something REALLY brilliant to say.

Really, really brilliant :D
