Sorry for the bad pictures. I will take better (more light and more in focus) later.

What do you think?

Interior is going to be two tone, light blue and black. Exterior is metallic black with metallic black wheels.

Going to be nice to see all these aftermarket parts come together!

sweet

If anybody can nail this project, you can.

nice collection, this should be impressive

I will deffinently keep an eye on this buildup, since I'm planning on started my Enzo using the Scale Motorsports super detail kit too

Metallic black with matching wheels, sounds like another stunner from you. Looking forward to more progress. :iceslolan

not to fond of ferrari or enzo, not my fav kind of cars, but this one is nice. might look acuallty turn out awsome

thanks everyone. I have researched evryones great ENZO threads and decided to try my hand at it.. will update more detailed pics tommorow

If U Do It Right, That Will Be Freakin Awesome !

That enzo sure costed u a small bomb...>.<
What abt some wirings for the engine bay to make it even more detailed?

This kit and the aftermarket parts are a dream for a lot of us.

I was thinking of buying it but i'm too unexperimented for this one, i'll have lots of closer looks to your thread to learn from your techniques and methods around this very detailed one.

Thank you again for sharing.

Vince.

Aftermarket heaven! Looking forward to mre.

It looks good.

super detail!!
I envy you!

I will deffinently keep an eye on this buildup, since I'm planning on started my Enzo using the Scale Motorsports super detail kit too

same here!!! keep the pics coming !!

Sorry slk320 for throwing off the thread, we already know it's gonna turn out awsome, no doubt about it!

Looks very good so far. I can't wait to see how this car will turn out. Knowing you, I'm sure you'll take your time and make it one amazing car.

yo I can already hear the WROOM WROOM WROOM from your Enzo. Keeps on the good work. :smile:

Nice. I love black.

It's quite funny how you started with the dash, I don't think a lot of people do that. Although, I must admit I would too. It's one of my favorite parts on the real Enzo. So very simple and yet, so amazing...
All the carbon work you have ahead of you is (or should be) quite a challenge. I tried CF for the first time on my Nissan R32 (currently in progress) and I must say it's not as easy as it seems to get it right! I torn apart several templates do get the hood looking satisfactory...

Now a little question/suggestion:
Why don't you build your Enzo as an "All Carbon" version? I'm sure it will look amazing metallic black with black wheels, but with all that CF and detail you already have, the all carbon version would be even better (in my HUMBLE opinion). I know it should take about 6 or 7 sheets of decal to achieve that, but hey...what's a "couple" bucks extra? :evillol:

By the way, could you give us a hint on HOW MUCH you have spent?Damn! :biggrin::biggrin:
Eheheheh, you have to be crazy, and must be crazy in love with the Enzo...:iceslolan

Best regards, and the best of luck,
Pedro.

I love the amazing detail! The project sounds awfully challenging with all the detail for a 1/24 scale model.

Nooo dont do it all carbon Im about to do that I just orderd all the stuff today...

Looks insane, cant wait to see some more progress

Wow!! Now that's really super detail Enzo.

This is probobly going to turn out to be one of the best Enzo's on AF (no offense to the other amazing Enzo's). I will defiatly follow this thread.

Here are the updated pics.

I started out with the dash board becuase its by far the most complecated decaling job...to make it look realistic is pretty hard so I decaled, painted the buttons, all the buttons are painted in appropriate colors and in appropriate order... keys in the ignition, key chain, bolts are photoetch items that come with the superdetail kit.. so are the keys and the keyring.

also, as a side note, its important to put a lot of gloss on the interior cf parts, as they are high gloss in the real thing:

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_001.sized.jpg

getting that decal over the vent surrounds was a royal pain

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_001.sized.jpg

brakes.... these amazing mini masterpieces are a 7 piece afairs with resin calipers and photoetch brake pads...although unpainted at this time and without bolts, they still are amazing...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/5_G_001.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/6_G_001.sized.jpg

the seats.. carbon fiber, deep gloss, will also be equiped with buttons for recline function and seat belt harness

This is totally insane bad ass!!!!! Can't wait to see this ENZO finished!!!!!!!!!

OMG that is AMAZING!!!


Josh :sunglasse :sunglasse

Looks sweet as hell. Can't wait to see it done.

got seatbelts done!

you are going to make history with this one. looks awesome.
Still wondering how big of a dent this left in the wallet.

sk8ter in ny: so how much did all those goodies come to for that enzo?
paulshpirt: over 250.00 usd
sk8ter in ny: dayum!!

small price to pay for perfection

Sweet Lord! Did you guys see the calipers/rotors???!!! Is that a separate caliper for the parking brake? Dude you better plumb this beeach, I expect full hydraulic detail with liquid in the reservoirs too :grinno:
I am really impressed with the dash, it's a masterpiece in itself SLK.
Keep posting the progress.

Sh*t man, thats off the hook. Great work, keep us posted.

thats all so amazing!!
how do you get the dash CF parts to fit/sit so well?? tried 10 times and :banghead:

Does any one have pics of the carbon Enzo??

that is so damn sweet, keep up the good work.

I am lucky, the superdetail kit from scale motorsports comes with carbon fiber templates and they are dead on! as soon as you put some Microsol, they just melt into the shape you want!

Excellent product. So far my two favorite CF decals are SMS and SAS, both conform very well to complex surface.

Holy shit! The detail is amazing!!! I cant believe this is a 1/24 scale model any longer. It reminds me of the 1/8 Scale Ferrari F40 Build going on.

Beautiful work so far! I cant wait to see more!

those wheels are bad ass .....along with the rest of it

This is simply unreal! Class is now in session!:sunglasse

SWEEET .. Keep us posted :bigthumb:

I think we just got served!!! lol

Some updates.

I got the photo cd from scale motorsports and its super super detailed, areas that I have never found photos on, over 250 photos of chasis, motor and interior.

Thank you SMS!

Here is the door panels... let me just say what pain it is to decal it straight with its amount of complez angles and concave surfaces.... i shot a couple of gloss coats over it to make it look like real cf..

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/1_G_002.sized.jpg

Made seats.. carbon fiver back, sides, intalled the side mounted lumbar supprt buttons, harness and entched details...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_002.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_002.sized.jpg

completed dash board, sorry for the fuzzy pics:

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_002.sized.jpg

what do you think so far? the decal work is worse then my DTM CLK...

Simply marvelous! And the doors will open to show off this CF'd interior! I eagerly await the engine/chassis progress. Keep it up!

Wow! The CF work is awesome! I am assuming that is SMS CF? The detail work is looking awesome.

yes, its all from the SMS transkit.

brilliant build!

Great job on the CF. Seatbelt also looks good. Damn, everything is nice.

More updates, Finished preliminary work on the engine pleniums. decals are sms cf, all the wiring and proper lines, ignition wires, etc., photoetch runners, photoetch bolts, etc...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/1_G_003.sized.jpg

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/2_G_003.sized.jpg

the headers.. notice the heat wraps, oe emmision sensonsors, heat discoloration...now notice the little photoetch badges on the header exits...they are there for a very good reason...

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/3_G_003.sized.jpg

photo of the real engine and headers.. notice on the headers there are same welded badges.. they all say "Ferarri Motorcompany" ;)

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/5_G_002.sized.jpg

mock of the engine.. there are a number of additional wires I still have to run, inlduing oil lines, cooling lines, etc..

http://www.joeyandmona.com/albums/album136/4_G_003.sized.jpg

Please comment. I would like to make everything as realistic as possible!

thank you for looking.

Beautiful work!! :bigthumb:

Very amazing and detailed work slk :thumbsup: the CF is looking so awsome :iceslolan. Keep up the good work!

SLK320, those aren't ignition wires in the picture of the real car, those are wires coming to fuel injectors. Consult your references, a picture from a different angle will show you where they go more clearly. What you did is you wired 7 nuts holding the cam cover in place.

The lug nuts are still there, I checked the refferences, I will post more pics..I agree the the location of the wires is a little off... but that the best I could do, once everything is secured together the differences will not be noticeable.

I know that ENZO has elctronic ignition so the two leading wires out of the end of the cam cover are the ignition wires.

my goal, I guess is to make a realistic looking replica, so the specific wire location, especially ones that will be ultimately mostly covered are not as important.. I guess.

But I apreciate your comments, they are very helpfull, as is anyone who knows the real car! keep em coming please!

Freakin awesome mate. Is the thin rail round the airbox the original kit part or did you make your own? Its just I don't know how you could get the carbon on without removing that bit. Oh and what colour did you use for the engine block?

Also are you gonna put the scrunchy reflective foil around the exhaust?


Good luck and keep it coming.

Cheers

Farrokh

Damn. Seeing all those details of your build makes me want to throw my Enzo into the trashcan and it'll never see the light of the world again! Excellent build. Can't wait for it to be completed.

Totally Awesome, I Am Speechless, Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
