This is my second diecast rebuild...I hope you don't mind.
It didn't turn out as good as the Z4 I did but it could have if I was willing to put more time into it....I did a very minimal rebuild.
The model is made by Welly and it's 1/24 scale. I painted it Tamiya TS55 Dark Blue and cleared it, then polished. The interior is a combo of Acryl Sloth Brown with a lttle dark red mixied in, and Dragon Black. The alum accents are Acryl Silver.
The wheels are Fujimi OZ Nova's which I painted with Testors Silver lacquer in the bottle, the brakes are from a Aoshima kit, I think.

What else can you do? Unless Tamiya nestles a TT somewhere in their line up between the S2000, Boxster & SLK, a diecast conversion is the way to go. Very nice work.....and a particularly nice finish!

Fantastic work. It really does look like a plastic kit. Your ability to transform these old things is amazing, if you asked me before your Z4 and this one, I would say such results were impossible. Thanks for proving us wrong!

Oh, Oli, you're going to confuse so many people!

Yeah, but everybody here knows I'm not into diecast, I'm just trying to add to my 1/24 collection and sometimes the only way to get certain cars is going metal. Besides I disassembled it and built it back just like you would do a plastic model.

No, it's the plastic 'glass' that came with the car.

Nice finish. Are you stripping the paint to the bare metal and refinishing, or just sanding and priming the original paint?

Sorry, I didn't take any progress pics. Some people still freak out when they hear the word 'diecast' so I even hesitate to put pics of the finished model on here.

Yes, I stripped it down to the metal because the factory paint is so thick on the diecast it's the only way to go. Then I glued the doors and hood shut with epoxy glue and puttied the panel lines.
