Newbie building Enzo (Images)

Hello everybody,
I was looking at this Forum quite a long time. There are so many amazing models here. Never found a place like this before. So I want to intoduce myself. I'm 30 years old and I'm building models sinse I was ten or so. I'm trying to make every model a little bit more realistic then the previous one. So, now I want to post some thing about the Enzo I'm building. I hope you like it:

1. Engine: These are the engine pics, so far. the engine block and the gearbox is painted chrome silver, then very thin matt black and then drybrushed matt aluminium. the exhaust is partly coverred with bare metal foil. You can see this at pictures of the real one. Every Carbon part that is visible will be covered with CF decals from Museum Collection. Tese decals are very good to work with.

Hi flh,

the exhaust effect is made with a little clear yellow, very thin metallic blue and very thin copper. I hope i could help you.:smoka:

Hi !
Welcome on AF !
Your Enzo is very cool ! I love the cabon effect ! how did you do it ?!

With all these Ferrari Enzo that I see on this forum, I think I will have to buy one too ! Even if normally I build only race cars !

HI, WELCOME TO AF!!

They're very good photos of some great work so far. I'm starting to see a lot of Enzo progress pics, I can't wait until mine arrives on my doorstep!

Look forward to more pics, in the meantime enjoy the ride.

glad you could join us! the engine is coming out awesome. i cant wait to see what you will do with the rest of the model.

Welcome to AF...good effort on your Enzo engine...by the way, the bare metal foil on the exhaust looks crumpled...did you do that on purpose to create a certain effect?

Awesome work!!

Welcome to AF :wave:

Hi there,
the aluminium foil is also crumpled on the real one. I have one picture in a german motor magazine where you can see this area perfectly. By the way, I think I will need a lot of time for this projekt, but I'm trying to make it as perfect as possible. It is going to be red. I've thought about black, but I think this car looks in red so perfekt, there can't be another color. Even with the name os the car I mean ENZO FERRARI. It must be red. I've started the back brakes this evening. Probably going to post some pictures tomorrow.
Thank you all for your posts. I enjoy it very much. I'going to post some models that I've builded before. I think it will be a McLaren MP4/5, a F50 and a very special Koenig Testarossa. That's it for now.:smoka:

first, welcome to af :wave:

second, that's beautiful work. looking forward to seeing more pics. :D

Howdy and welcome!

Man, the engine detail is very realistic. Looking forward to more pix.

Very nice looking job so far.

Nice to see another old bastard in here :p ..j/k

Keep us posted as it looks like this will be a very fine example when all done

I think you guys are wrong, he has 20 years experience since he is thirty and he's been modelling since he was around 10 yrs. old.

I think I'm going to go back and check how old he is.

:eek: I was planning on getting an Enzo for one of my first kits, but I will never make one look that good so maybe I should wait till I get some experience. :flash: That looks amazing.

the color of the block makes it look very real, good job

Hi There,
it's update time! I've spend some time on the momocoque with CF Decals I try to cover all parts that'll be visible on the assembled modell. Also made the rear breaks. This one takes a lot of time but it's worth it.

Have you heard about the 360 Modeena Challenge Stradale? What's up with a model of this one. Would be great.

The next thing with the enzo is the front suspension and than the interieur. Right now I'm on the steering wheel.

I was looking through a booklet i have on the Enzo today and i immediately thought back to this thread. Your work on the engine, in particular the CF decals, is spot on. Something else you might want to try, perhaps you have already noticed this? Try laying down several sections of decal on the monocoque to make it look like its made up of several different sections of CF as with the real thing.

I can't wait to see it finished! Good job so far.

Updates please !!!!!!!!!!! :D

That look almost real...beautiful job cant wait to see more progress

Your car isn't even finished and it looks good! :eek:

wow this is the nicest newbi work i have ever seen....with all that detail....im sure its gonna end up at a tamiya show! right next to the first place badge :)
nice work cant wait to see more updates?

:wave: :wave: :wave:

WELCOME! Your engine detail is to the extremes! So realistic it looks like a diecast replica! I am sure we all can't wait to see more of your outstanding models!

I Love IT!!

How big are those sheets of carbon decals? Do you think that they are good enough for someone to make a natural coloured Enzo - As in, the whole body is bare Carbon fiber with a lot of glossy polish??

Just a thought.

Great progress Mulsanne!

I'm also building an Enzo at the moment. I stopped doing carbon decals as it takes too much time. I have several pieces done and now I'm not going to use them. All that carbon fiber you've done looks perfect! I'm hoping to get mine done this week.

Excellent work - for a newbie?:confused:
You're certainly not a noob:)

welcome


GREAT ENGINE DETAIL!!

It should read 'AForum Newbie building an Enzo with veteran skills', U misleading modeler! :D j/k

Another Enzo thread with great quality works! You guys should form an Enzo Modeling club hehe

I am not even thinking of modeling an enzo yet til I feel am ready to do so.

Keep us posted!

Welcome to AF!

Looking Great!!! Keep up the good work and keep us updated.
