Carrera GT 1:24

New to the forum. Have been looking around here for a little while, man there is some real talent out there. Been building models for about 5 years or so, mostly sports and super cars. Pretty much all Tamiya with some others here and there. Look forward to trading pics and ideas with everyone :thumbsup:

Here are some shots of my latest project.

Good looking build! Nice to see a factory stock Carrera GT around here in a factory stock color. Makes it very unique!

Welcome to AF!

Nice buildup and photography. Cant have too many Porsches here.

looks very good, but you colored the lugs the wrong color!

sweet porsche... i can't wait to start on mine... btw, are those mold lines on the bumpers

Awesome looking build!!! BTW, welcome to A/F!!!

looks very good, but you colored the lugs the wrong color!

Yes it looks very good! To be fair only half the wheel nuts are the wrong colour. :)

Hey welcome to AF!! Looks nice n clean! Keep up the great work and hope to see more.

Looks good, nice finish, but the molds lines should be sanded away.

Very nice! Welcome to AF :bigthumb:

Well, that looks good it's a shame though that you didn't sand away the moldlines.
Super paint job, smooth and nice.
Funny to see both you and I post the same object with only one day apart.
Keep it up and remember the moldlines on your next build.

Looks like you did a nice job!

Welcome to the AF-family :wave:

nicely done. They are mold lines, but heck it's still a good looking build. Sweet paintjob, and I think if you had done a panel line wash it would have looked more realistic.. But it's still a very sweet build. I love this car, still got mine to build yet..

I want to go and dig mine out and start right now..!!

Good job: it's appear you hadn't polish silver: otherwise we should see blank plastic on moulds (or you clearcoted and polished all over?)
Would you like to share some photografic stuff? What kind of light do you still using? looks good

good work! also nice background for the photos!

Thanks all! Yeah, I probably should have spent more time prepping the body. I sand it down in most cases but don't take the time get rid of all the mold lines. I guess unless you're showing it to a bunch a model builders you don't hear anything about it. Again, thanks for the comments!

just remembert to qand those mold lines in the futur.. It's a easy job and makes it SO much better.. and perhpas a clear coat on metallic colours.

But other than that, great work keep it up

:iagree:I don't want to seem like I'm rubbing salt into a wound here but those mold lines :eek: ,apart from that it's one cooooooool build, and on the subject of those wheel nuts/ lug nuts, (depending on where you come from) I think they look better all the same colour :2cents:, keep up the cracking work, have you got any other built ups you can share with the AF family?

Looks really good, even the pictures!
