Completed: Tamiya Boxster, Special Edition.

hi, people, finally I finished this project, despite the problems I have encountered, I basically
like the end result quite much, after all, it's my first completed model after almost stopped
biulding any models for 6 years, so I am satisfied ~~ ^^


unfortunately I didn't have much time for the photography, hence you might find the model
doesn't look so nice here in the photos ~~~ :)

This car is built for my friend, so before he gives me his number, I can only leave the liecense plates
in the model box~~~

I modified the head lights, but it's a bit too much for a guy has not completed any project
in the past 6 years.....

I believe for the next time I can have a better result ~~~ :grinno:

I really don't know what these dark dots are, they cannot be seen on the model, nor on my lens....

again, the dark dots, so it is not my lens.......

I made a mistake for the undercoat for ALCLADE II, I used GSI laqucker paint as the undercoat,
but it drys too fast so the black GSI colour could not even have time to "flaten" itself, so
eentually the surface of the rim looks like this........

I used Testor's CHROME for some sections of the exhaust pipe, but it doesn't look very
much like CHROME in this photo, but I just didn't have time to take more photos..........

Fantastic Porsche model! I think it all looks, excellent, headlights and wheels especially. Just a fantastic model and very well photographed. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, very nice.

Great engine/chassis weathering, and nice touch with the Carrera GT- color interior bits!

Both model and photography is good! I like the light settings for the pics. Welcome back to modeling! :)

Very nice build. I think as well as the others, the photography looks good. Nice job. Good to have you back building :D

Stunning! The best I've ever seen of the SE Boxster! :eek: :smokin:

Very good job....you have nothing to worry about if you keep building like this!!

thanks guys, thank you for your feedback, it's truly a warm family here ~~~ ^^

But I know t by myself that there are still A LOT needs to be improved, and thank you for not giving me
a hard for those defects~~ ^^

I will be building more models for sure, thank you all.


So, the outdoor shots, not many, I just tried to make some photos for the model in the day light and
hoped it would look a bit more realistic...

:biggrin:

life is never that easy ........... sigh..

Wow! Perfect.

o
man, you make it real~!!

looks awesome, no flaws what so ever

Perfect! I even like the black roadster cover (dont know what its called) instead of body color. Though I usually like it in body color, you made the black cover look just as good. 10/10

JeFF

Wow!! :eek: You've done an excellent job on it!!!:sunglasse Thanks for sharing!

:eek2: TRULY AMAZING BUILD !!!

The outdoor pics are awsome dude....great shine too... :biggrin:

Which camera do you have?

:eek2: TRULY AMAZING BUILD !!!

:iagree:

Is the underbody drybrushed?

It's great, along with the rest of it!

The model looks really cool, I love the way how you took the pictures.

thank you, guys, thank you for your great comments~~ ^^


I used black for the hood(I also don't know how to call the ROADSTER ACCESSORY ^^), also for the mirror,
because I found it kind of boring if I spray these parts with only the body colour, so I sprey them with semi-gloss black.

The indoor pics are taken with only two light sources, left and right, nothing else, and my camera is
Canon EOS Digital Rebal, with the stock lens(18-55mm) and the Tamron lens(A09), which is a 28-75MM
zoom-lens, but with 28cm closest range MACRO(sort of) function.

my next build will be Ferrari 360 Spyder, but have no idea what I should do with it, should it be OOTB,
or should I add something more? .........................

Again, congrats on a clean job! I've also been thinking of a 360 Spider myself, so here are my thoughts: how about a Challenge (Stradale) conversion added on? I like how it beefs up the lower bodywork. :2cents:

Looks so real!

Fantastic engine weathering!! Maybe paint the inside of the exhaust tip black. Other than that, just amazing.
