It's one of the Tamiya Subaru WRC kits, either the 98 or 99 tarmac version looking at it.....
So far the kit looks great :)

There I am again, now it starts looking like a car, can't wait to finish it but I won't do it to fast don't wanna mess up now I'm so close. The only problem I got is there is no more TS50 in the hobby store so I have to wait till they are in stock again.

That's all for now, I will add some new pics as soon as I get some TS50.

Hi there, nice to see how you're getting along. Looks good so far. A suggestion that I would like to make, is that the seats are looking a bit to glossy. For the back side that is OK. I would do the black inner parts matt. But if you like it this way, that's more then OK!

Good job so far!!

Love those seats man!!:smoka:

Ya, looks great, but the seats are too glossy for my liking... also what are those sort of round things in one of the first pics? subs??

Looks great.Can't wait to see it painted.Great job.

Just a tip, Dont do the Chassis and Interior first, because usually what happens is that the body gets rushed and doesn't look as good as it has potential to.

Adidas150

10-08-2002, 06:53 AM

Hello all,
first of all thx for the replies and comments as I am quite new in the modeling world every tip and comment is welcome.
About the seats I know they are glossy but that is the way it was shown on the manual. Next model I will try to paint them matt.
Do not hesitate to put your comments on it.
I am still looking for some TS50 before painting the body.
Greetz to everyone.

Jonno

10-08-2002, 07:02 AM

Man, if the real seats are that shiny, the drivers must stick to them when it gets hot...

Adidas150

10-08-2002, 11:45 AM

lol Thug next time I will paint them matt just to please you. :sun:

freakray

10-08-2002, 11:59 AM

Where does the instruction say gloss black?
I built the same car and my instructions say flat black for the seats.
Weird.....

Adidas150

10-08-2002, 12:35 PM

I will check this out when I finish work but I tought it was gloss.
Sorry if it is not, then it is my mistake can you all forgive me ;-)))

freakray

10-08-2002, 12:45 PM

We all make mistakes:)
I have lost count of the models I have built, but I still make mistakes....so it happens:)

Hello guys,
thx for the support, I did not checked the color yesterday but it does not matter next time they will be matt.
Normally my brother will get some TS50 this afternoon so I will post some new pics very soon.
Greetzzzz

Adidas150

10-09-2002, 12:58 PM

My brother went to the store in Brussels and the result is ......no more TS50.
I'm gonna die very soon if I do not get my TS50.
I asked a friend to look after some I'll get the response friday.

Hello there,
I allmost messed up everything yesterday evening.
I was painting the last pieces and I was using black when I finished with that paint but I was already thinking on something else and I forgot to close the paint.
After a while I wanted to take the paint but forgot the paint was not closed and I spilled what was in it on my pullover and trousers.
I was a little bit on my nerves and wanted to throw away everything but it wouldbe too stupid to give up now I am so close to finish it.
That's all for today.
Hopefully I will get some TS50 this evening my friend from Antwerp will come to me with hopefully some TS50. Otherwise I do not know where I could get some.

Greetzzzzz

As usual after a weekend, there are the new pics.
I added some parts only the doorpanels have to be placed and then I need some ts50 to spray the cover it does not look so attractive with that ugly primer ;-)))
Hopefully I will get some this weekend.
As usual all coments are welcome.

Hi there Adidas150,

Great job so far!
We all get set-backs every now and then, the thing with the paint spilled over you clothing, I know what you're talking about, these things mostly happen when you rush things! Modeling is by definition, taking it easy!! :rolleyes:

For the TS-50, you can try MG Modelisme in Huy. They're a CAR modeling shop, they do only cars - mostly rally - but also racing and road cars. They should be listed in the yellow pages, if not I can send they're contact info to you via PM. Have you tried Broux in Hasselt as well?

Cheers

Adidas150

10-15-2002, 06:25 AM

Thx for the advice I will try to get some in Hasselt this weekend and if I can not find some there i will try in Huy.
I did not know the shop in Huy but I will certainly go over there to have a look at the store.
Believe me I will not get in a hurry anymore, as I say we all learn from our mistakes ;-)))

I added my doorpanels this morning so be prepared to see the new pics.

Greetzzzz

Jonno

10-15-2002, 06:43 AM

so be prepared to see the new pics.

I dunno, I might be ready. Still need to get pumped, Seeing them may be tough.

Alright, I think i'm Ready....:finger: :p :p ;)

Adidas150

10-15-2002, 06:45 AM

I need some tips as I do not want to mess up the body.
The body is primed sanded and ready to spray but I still have some questions.
After I sprayed the body do I have to place decals or do I have to put some clear coat TS13 on it and the decals afterwards.
How can I finish the body withe clear or wax or something else?
Please tell me.

Greetzzzz

hrmodeler

10-15-2002, 06:58 AM

It's always good to put light clear coat over color before you put decals.
Speacialy if color isn't glossy. Than you can put decals and cover it with clear coat.
But be careful with TS-13 over decals. I heard that sometimes is too strong for decals.

Adidas150

10-15-2002, 07:12 AM

ok thx but can you tell me which type do I have to use?

hrmodeler

10-15-2002, 07:18 AM

I'm using automotive colors and clear coats but I will not recomed it to any begginer.
Maybe you can try with Tamiya's clear coats from bottles.

stoodent

10-15-2002, 08:11 AM

I was about to say: That's a plastic car. Only BEFORE I realized thats what it was.

Looking nice! I don't think I could do even half that. Ugh, I need sleep. :(

Jonno

10-15-2002, 08:48 AM

If you cant find the paint, you might be able to buy some actual Subaru Mica Blue, or get it mixed. You will need to make some changes to the body though (I think)

Adidas150

10-21-2002, 06:01 AM

Hi guys,
I finally found some TS50 but had not the time to paint the body.
I also bought some compound and modelling wax.
so stay tuned for the pix of the painted body.
Greetzzzzzzzzzzz

Adidas150

10-21-2002, 06:36 AM

I allready started my new project a Porsche 911 gt2 roadversion of tamyia.
I will open a new thread to post those pics.

10-21-2002, 10:32 PM

Can;t see the pic of your new project but... i was wonderin what are those black, sort of bowl shaped things behind the seats???

Jonno

10-22-2002, 06:16 AM

i was wonderin what are those black, sort of bowl shaped things behind the seats???

I think they would be the helmet holders...

Adidas150

10-22-2002, 06:22 AM

The bowl shaped thing is to place the helmets indeed.
My next project is the porsche 911 gt2, I attached the pic in the previous reply, because I do not know how to get it in the signature.

If this is the picture you want in your signature, put inf front of the hyper link (which is http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/634093porsche911gt2roadversion.jpg) the after it.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/634093porsche911gt2roadversion.jpg Take away the space before and after the link and save it in the signature section of your profile.

Good work. Looks like we are both doing Subies for our first models!

I am priming my body right now.. Gonna do the last 2 coats in about 5 min. after my primera body dries.

Adidas150

10-24-2002, 06:32 AM

Yes it is. It's because I got really crazy when I see one. I am planning to make some special ones in the future.
Mine is primed this morning I put some maskingtape on the window lines it is allmost ready to spray, that will be done this weekend.
Do you have some pics of yours?

Adidas150

10-28-2002, 05:32 AM

Hello all, I messed it all up this weekend. I was painting the body after put some masking tape for the windows. So I started with one thin coat, after one hour I put another coat on it and it turned out like orange peel so i thought it will get better if I put some more paint on it but that screwed the body all up. There was too much paint on some spots and not enough on others. Please advice.

Or sand it, you might be able to spare the paint job on it by sanding out all the higher areas.
