CLK-DTM Warteiner progress pics

Hi all,
here are some pictures of my current project, the Tamiya CLK-DTM Warsteiner.
As you will see, I put a lot of carbon which is a bite boring but it worth the result. :)

I let you go on my personal directory here :

looks like its gonna be kick ass when you get it done. this is my favourite of the clk-dtm cars too, so i anticipate finished pics like a giddy little school girl.

Your doing a superb job! Are those Scale Motorsport's CF decals?

Hi Guys,
Salut Laurent,
Thanks for you comments !
I use the Carpena carbon decal, but I am not really happy about them !
it is a bit too light grey, the detail are too big.
I would say that the 1/24 decals is appropriate for a 1/20 F1 or even a 1/12 bike !
For next time, I'll use the Scale Motor Sport sheet.
I am going to write an article about this kit for my club's website. I'll manage to translate it in english.
Laurent, félicitations pour ta Focus, très sympa comme toutes les autres d'ailleurs et merci pour ton message !
A+
Cheers,
Steve ;)

I just finished my CLK right now !
I'll post some photos soon !

Waiting for them with impatience !!!!

Myself : As carbon decal, i use renaissance one... you can saw what effect they give when applied on my yahoo photo folder under 206 WRC 99\work progress folder....

Seb, you used the Renaissance carbone ? is it good ? Because the Carpena is not very realistic.
I compared it with a 1/12 Scale Motor Sport and the detail are the same size !!!! :confused: :confused: :eek: :D

damn fine job! it's my favourite of the tamiya clk dtm series...must resist urge to pick up this kit now.

I recently not only got into Celica but also the Merz CLK, you done a great job :)

thank you very much for your nice comments guys,
Cheers,
Steve

Sorry for the late, steve, i was on travel for works...
To my mind, renaissance are good, but i can't compare it to carpena wich i never use or to scalemotosport (i only use kevlar one from sms).
But renaissance one looks nice on my model...but take care...i have too piece of decal with same reference...and they not came with same colour.... :-( so be sure too have a one piece enougth decal before starting work...if you order one more it may not have same colour :-(

what's now the model on your desk ??? ASTRA ???

The carbon fiber makes it look really nice. What's your next project? :)

Thanks !
on my desk right now is a WW2 plane !!! :finger:
yes I also build planes and now I must finish the one that I begun before the CLK.
But my next car project is the Astra I think ! But I still hesitate which one ! I have the 2 Tamiya and 2 more decal sheets from Studio 27.



Hey, do you know that Airfix-Heller just released the Subaru 2001 and the Lancer WRC ?! I was very asthonised ! But I couldn't open the box in the shop because they were in the small plastic protection !

Exceptionnel mon cher ami.....

Sans etre modeste, voilà une réalisation au top.....
C'est bien, continue......

On est pas le seule à parler le Français ici.

Une Mercedes, et par xim-crow, comme d'habitude, toujours un boulot très bien fait! Félicitations!!

In other words, a Merc by xim-crow, as always a work superbly done!

Je ne peux pas parler francais bien, mais le Mercedes est un tres bon voiture :)
