Moneypit names came for the money i spend in this :roll:

Every step i get forward i went 2 steps back. Too fast building and too little experience.

I would say that car is done, but later i will put cables etc. to engine.
I just need to find info how to connect dual magneto wires that engine have (at lease thats what i have been told).

That's superb for a simple Lindberg kit and you have a good variety of metallic presentation, especially with the alloys and the engine block. Simple yet detailed, great work.

Sweet

Nice but not rusted enough, i would have made a few more washes on the body.

What do you mean by more washes?

Very interesting model. I wouldn't mind building up something like this. I like the drilled out frame.

Super nice!! you've got some serious skills! You should make a thread for your stagea....It's looking great! (I was checking it in your site :p)

Thanks..
Trying to do my best witch is not much yet. Usually it's getting boring after i get primer part.
Cutting parts and doing mods is fun. (like this -> http://jukivin.pp.fi/omat_pienoismallit/ideat/ rekka pics)

Yeah, but i haven't done anything to it for last 6month. Just little more bumber cutting and building.
But it might be faster finnish than my S13 project =D

What do you mean by more washes?

I mean, bring more darkness into the hollow. A wash is a dark paint diluated into a thinner, then it's applied on the model/part. Like this, pigments will stay in the hollow when the thinner evaporates. I personaly use Winsor&Newton oil paints and thinner, it gives a good result.
On rust, you can do washes of brown and black it should give a better aspect of the surface.
