*Super detailed* Ferrari Enzo progress thread.

Beautiful work on the engine!

A critique: what a shame, such a beautifull job for such an ugly car!

No, no! I'm joking!!!!!!!! :lol: But I'm still thinking all these skills (kit, transkit, modeler....) would be much better applied on something like an Aston Martin Vanquish, for example!...

CF decals look real good, it's the first time I see so convincing 1/24 CF decals!... and well applied, of course!
The wiring job completely astonishes me!
...
I'll keep searching for a bad comment... See you tomorrow!...

I can no longer finish my Enzo. It looks like absolute shit compared to your beauty.

Amazing job on the CF decals. The airbox looks just like the real thing. Keep up the good work on this sexy Ferrari!!

your cf work is amazing, looks very very cool!

This is the sort of thread that makes me want to put all my tools away and take a nap. I guess that means its a good thing that I hadn't seen it until now, a few more weeks without a modelling inferiority complex!

Great work Love the detail Detail is fun for everyone, fun to make and fun to look at, especially when it's spot on like this is. Hooray for SLK!

gorgeous work u have there...... :iceslolan :worshippy

here is more progress. headlights were coated with cf decals, the actual lights were replaced with MV lenses from ho railroad supplies. look much more realistic.

OMG, how could i have missed this. This car is more than a model. :screwy: Im still trying to find out what it is but it sure is more than a model. It's real!. :lol: Beautiful. Love the progress, your lights, interior, and engine are just crazy. Amazing Detail. :thumbsup:

After you finish this, you are going to need a shrink!!! :evillol: Absolute chaos :smokin:

WOW CARBON MONSTER @2:00am. Good job. :smile:

:iagree:

i so so so wish i had got that carbon set, it looks amazing! so sleek and sexy. and the carbon looks so realistic.
Cant wait to see more, its a great build!

so when you fire up the engine for the first time will you take a video? excellent work! I can't wait to see how you detail the suspension/ chassis!

Should this be moved to the Ferrari forum? I dont believe this is a model.

Great job so far, excellent work on the CF.

Stunning!!!:sunglasse

Sweet Jesus!
Smart idea using MV lenses; they look real, just like the rest of the model. :biggrin:

:ylsuper: EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!! :ylsuper:

just one little thing though... are those brushmarks on the airbox?? :p

Some of the best cf work I've ever seen! Enzo would be proud!

Sweet Jesus!

hehe, no, its just a base coat, ths will be sprayed with flat black and sealed with semigloss.. don't worry ;)

Thanks for everyone's positive comments. I got done wiring up the fuel lines and building the rear shock tower with shocks and springs and hydrolic lines.. pictures later on today.

I was considering buying the enxo kit befor i jined af then after seeing your review on the super detail kit i bought the kit within 15 minutes of online searching for the best price (29.99 was as low as i could find), now all i have to do is find enough money for the super detail kit amazingly beautiful. This is the kind of detail kit ive been hunting for since i did my mclaren m8b

WOW, great kit :icon16:

Mored updates time:

finished constructing the basic shape of the nose, this is not easy as the trunk lid separates two sides of the front clip.. here is the pic:

and here you can see the new fuel filler door that will be operational on the completed model.

I also started construction of small underhood items, that needed extra attention in terms of manufacturer labels, data plates, proper wiring and connectors, etc.

********faint***********

i'm at a loss for words... I like the silver box with the manufacturer label and the springs and the wiring and the engine and the opening hood and in fact everything.

its awesome, i love the engine, it looks sooooo real.

keep up the nice work.

Man this is good, I am saving all of your pictures for time when I will start building my Enzo. Great work :iceslolan

WOW really awesome!!! But how do you made the manufacturer labels, data plates?? do you bought them ???

Amazing job! I have never seen a model with such detail.

Dude the detail on this Enzo is nuts! Keep it moving cause I can't wait to see it finished.

All it will need is some 1:24 th scale gasoline and it will run!!:sunglasse

couldnt agree more

I fall clear out of my chair with every update. My eyes thank you for posting, but my butt does not. Great work, just fantastic, beautiful detail! Us = jealous.

Damn, that's crazy....

Holy Shit!!!!!!!

thanks everyone,

The manufacturer decals are actually from aircraft models. 1/48 scale airplane sometimes yeild terrific manufacturer data plates and under the hood stickers.

I think it was WIllimo who wanted some company to make an underhood manufacturer decals, I agree!!! all these superdetail kits don't include simple decals for underhood stuff..

Yup it was. I've also found HO and N scale railroad decals work, though they tend to be expensive and you waste a lot of decal.

Dude, the engine looks sicks. i'm speechless :bigthumb:

Hate to add nothing but more praise but, you are exhibiting the clean building style of a Tamiya "Master Modeler".

Great job!

Bill

INSANE, INSANE, I called my shrink, he will see you now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome

either you have insanely big hands (shame on you, working on a 1:1 car), or that is the most detailed model kit i've ever seen...

Sensational stuff SLK, eagely awaiting updates :)

Colorado-Carpena print a decal sheet featuring engine and chassis markings. MediaMix Hobby in Singapore carry them, although I see they are out of stock at the moment.

http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1507

wow, thats pretty cool, I wish I knew about it. I will palce my "waiting" order! I am still going to try to work on a decal contigency sheet featuring most common underhood decals.. and thing slike "vin numbers", oil change stickers on the driver side top window, dealer registration stickers, etc... I think it could bring new life to some models.

all I can say is WOW, i don't know what else I can say.

dayum :) keep it up, you are doing great job

Cool. Really super detailed.

Does all the wires come with the detail kit??

no, only braided hoses come with the kit, the rest of the wires are detial master and radio shack ;)

One thing you did wrong out of all this great excellent build, the pedals are backwards. Guess everyone didn't pay attention to that. Great job SLK.

I'll have to disagree with you on the pedals, the pic I'm looking at right now look exactly like that.
BTW, excellent craftsmanship on the model. I wish I could do that.

The pedals are the way they are supposed to be... the dead pedal is jut weird like that.

progress pics are here:

Started to work on the monoqoque. in the real car the entire construction is carbon fiber inlay so I tried to mimic it.

rear firewall (used cigarette pack foil)

the decals and cigarett foil was a GIANT PAIN IN THE A$$~~~~ :p

and a little of this :banghead:

plus :smokin:

But it turned out ok... will try to finish the rear clip soon.

wow, i am a bit scare when putting down the cf decals on this monoqoque

:eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::e ek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2::eek2:

Hi,

You said cigarette foil was a pain in the ass, what glue did u used ? as i'll have the same thing to do soon.

Tanx a lot.

Vince.

I've robed a :eek2: from GTMike400: I've got nothing else to say... except you're crazy! :lol:

Thats some impressive CFing your doing there. Great work, update us soon.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Outstanding looking so far.

So the Enzo doesn't have a clutch? Is the tranny sequential? That's no fun. Fantastic work, I've got to agree with everyone. Just fantastic. The cigarette foil is a great resource, it looks perfect. Someone needs to start ordering it direct from the manufacturer and sell it, I only get it from my friends and by then it's all crumpled up... Oh wow, fantastic build! You've got me saving my nickles and dimes so I can get the SMS kit for the Williams F1.... superdetailing looks like fun!!
