*Super detailed* Ferrari Enzo progress thread.

Thanks everyone, I used white glue (krystal klear) to attacht the foil. Foil is pretty thin and easily pliable.

incredible work man....those cfs.... :worshippy

More updates time.

I sprayed all carbon fiber with generous gloss, so the monocoque is looking realistic. Fitted with interior and firewall and dashboard... here are the pics:

Hi slk, can u please tell me what brand of gloss spray u used on your decals ?

Many tanx in advance.

Vince.

I use testors gloss or Tamiya clear, or sometimes one on top of the other. They do not react to one another.

Speechless... Closer on the way to perfection than any plastic-made kit I've seen before!... (look at that shine ont the sides: it's so smooth!)
CF= Carbon Fever!!!!

simply stunning! BTW maybe i missed it but what will be the body color ??

the color will be mettalic black, same as the wheels.

Holy...undescribeable.

Man that is coming out really good, keep it up

Totally awesome work SLK. I could never do a build like that if I lived a thousand years. Wowza!

I'm totally in awe. No words come to mind to describe this. I bet you'll even order the Ferrari red paint just to match...that would be sick.

I thought he said he was painting it black? Also, Ferrari paint is just like any other paint, except for quality. You could probably go out to your Auto paint store and ask for some of it, I forgot who makes the Ferrari paint though, but they do sell it all over. Its not called Ferrari paint either, just like Strawberry red or something. Not trying to flame you or anything though.

TO COOL! Awesome work, I still have my shrink on speed dial for you!!!!!

It's Ferrari Red..plain and simple. Now, marrio andretti red...that's a 1off paint.

The paint will be metallic black, it will match the wheels.

Here is the progress pics, but I have to appologise, because I was experimenting with a new shareware (vuepro) and unfortunately it left watermarks in the picture :(

Looks fresh to death man. Love the detail, those rear breaks are just crazy. Seriously love this car and am looking forward to whats next with alot of interest :iceslolan i like the money symbols everywhere, everything looks better with money on it :lol:

Looks good, but its hard to see through the raining money.:banghead:

here is the updated version. this is the tool bag from Ferrari that is located in the front boot area. Since the front compartment will be hnged and opened I decided to make it a little more fun... so I used real leather! Thanks for the technique I learned from Alex Kustov, from www.italianhorses.net, I got the leather real thin and pliable.

here are the pics:

what do you think?

Beautiful touch to it. I never really thought about leather inside models. I sure will try it in the future.:iceslolan

crazy detailing effort! great job

if you want good leather working techniques go to www.italianhorses.net for Alex's great tutorials. As you can see I am a big fan of his work :)

Coming along nicely. The water marks are kinda annoying.

This has started excellent it is getting better and better everysecond... I am having a hard time finding words now :p

Wow impressive but can we have engine pics without the watermarks ??? It's really hard to see some details !!!

I will take better pics today and post more

as promised, here are some better pics of whats done on this car to date..

feedback please. Again, negative or positive feedback all welcomed.

Cool. Not much room in the front of that thing, eh? I like how you did the calipers in red, that gives it an even more of a performance look.

Nice job...I love the detail.

I'm in love with that engine!

<---- speechless

Absolutely gorgeous. I need to get one of these even though I hate the enzo but it will look great next to a F50 :)

where is the front shocks on this "car"

the front shocks are coming. I have already constructed them, just haven't placed them in. its a shame that they will be covered by the luggage rack.

will start prepping the body soon...

paul: why u soo sex?

Is that battery charged up??

F A N T A S T I C O !!

That is a shame about the shocks...those are sweet. Are the rads topped up with coolant, or are you doing that later?

Damn thats really good!!! I want to start mine too :-)) !! Are the front shocks the normal shocks from the kit ??

Looks great, as usual.

Have the body painted, 6 coats of black metallic Du Pont and 3 coats of clear pearl.

Will need to polish it later...

what do you think?

Looks glossy, it's kinda hard to tell with the photos being dark, but if the rest of the car is any indication I'm sure the paint looks fantastic.

i think it's f'ing awesome... cant believe i missed the engine bay update too... looks so friggin killer

Looks good, but like they said, lighting isnt to great.

Nice detailed buildup. I added radiator hoses to mine like you have and they created alot of problems with the fit of the engine cover - beware!

wow, there doesnt seem to be a thing as too detailed for you !

this build is really one of the most thorough I ve seen in quite a while now! keep it up , detailman !

Olivier

wow, that looks reeeeally cool

There is never anything called too much detail.

Too much work on the other hand....

Still lovin' it, slk. This place, seriously ruining kits. Subway's FD, Nismo's Xanavi, now your Enzo... I want to see this badboy in life when done, no amount of pics will capture its detail and thoroughness.

thanks everyone! I test fit the radiator, and I am going to have to bend the lines little, but should fit with little problems. sorry fo the bad quality of the pics, but once I let it dry a little and polish it out I will tkae some day light photos.

Wow, I just picked up modelling and it's really making me want to pay attention to detail. Inspiring really. Amazing detail man. Brilliant job.

start putting things together, putting the chasis together, including fuel filler, fuel filler caps, wiring and some other, minor detail.. now its all coming together nicely...

Looking great looking. Love the detail of the CF.

Bellisimo!

HOLY CRAP... it's so sexy!

Prepare for stupid comment, I think you have more CF on your Enzo than SAS has in stock.

Great job so far.

WOW That is gunna be a legendary Ferrari even enzo himself would be proud of GREAT JOB!!!!!!

kragyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Close to the finish, fitted most major parts to the chasis. the chasis is now ready to reaceive the body parts, but still have to finish radiators and linkages and some minor data plates, and details...

the rear suspension is made up too and came out pretty good.

That is an incredible piece of art.

Would you kindly stop taking pics of the real thing? Great job on such a detailed monster. This s one of the best AF has ever seen.

Just absolutely fantastic. In every way.
