Progress.....EVO3 GSR

I'm on holiday for 3 weeks :evillol: so thought i'd try and make a dent in some of my models waiting to be built.
Started this today with cleaning up of parts and painting of interior.
Wanted a bigger wheel then came with the kit so have gone for these to give it a "chunky" look and a lowering job.
Tomorrow the body will be primmed and a colour picked out as a finish coat.

Its the Fujimi one

3 weeks holiday..... Does it means 3 weeks building? Guess there wil be a lot of progress commin' from you.... :icon16: Keep it going!!

An Evo III with the Pman shine!! this should be a good one, cant wait to see how this turns out, built a Hasegawa EVO III a year ago and it was quite tricky to set up the ride height since it rode like a bus, hope that this Fujimi kit would be a lot easier to lower.Good luck with this build im sure it will be another epic build from you.

can't wait to see more progress :D

looks nice so far

Those wheels are nice, are they from the 306 you did?

Cheers

Yes

Nice kit;) I like the wheels on this car:) Can't wait to see that shine:)

Paint is drying at the moment...so hopefully get some pics up later on tonight :naughty:

AWESOME!! :bigthumb:

Woah, 3 weeks! You're lucky! :iceslolan This should be a good build.

Progress has been good yesterday and today. Finally nice to be able to sit down and spend a whole day at the modelling table!! :sunglasse

The body was primed yesterday then baked on to harden it over night so the top coat could be applied today.

Final finish is 5 coats of Tamiya light blue (ts23).

The interior was finished in light grey/black with blue inserts in the seats. I then added a different touch by adding a thin black "stich" line between the two colours.

Body will now be left for awhile so the paint can harden before its polished and detail painting like rubbers, lights etc done.

Nice work as usual, the paint is very shiny, but I'm not a big fan of the color.

Hi,
well done so far, but I think I cannot get used to the colour

Micha

I'm never tired of seeing your work Warren.

Always so clean :thumbsup:

Love the color.
Good work

Great to see you back at it!!:sunglasse

Nice, Man how do you get that shine sooooo nice! I am on my third day polishing my Ferio (civic):( That paint looks wet!!! AWESOME!

beautiful interior

One of the main reasons i went for this colour is i already have 2 white, 1 yellow, 1 red and and 1 dark blue EVO in my collection

Hey,

Looks great still. How do you go about "baking" your painted models? Keep up the great work!

Frank X.

Damn, missed this one so far:( I love those old Evos, not sure about the colour myself, but hell if we all thought the same ........

Great color Warren!
You are really pro in painiting models.

How do you go about "baking" your painted models?



At my work we have a locker size cuboard that we use to dry water etc from our electrical components. This is great for baking the paint.
Just leave it in there for 6-8 hours after priming, allow to cool down, leave for another 3-4 hours and then paint with a finish.

Mixed feelings with the colour,im sure that once it all comes together it will be spot on! always a fan of your work mate! what colour are you doing the wheels?

Dam that looks sexy especially the paint - it is something different and stands out - great job

Looks like another awesome job. Can't wait to see this one finished.

nice work as usual pman! what color are you planning to paint the wheels? just curious.

Today i spent on body detail like panel lines/trim/windows and lights. Not sure if i will stick with the rear spoiler....looks abit to bulky for my liking and seems to spoil the lines of the car.
Wheels will be next to be paint in either gloss white or silver.
