Nicely done.
I like how you painted the seats and panels lines on the yellow.
It gives more depth to the parts.
What kind of paint do you use?
It's seems to me like oil paint tubes like winsor&newton.
Do you also use this technic?

Deedlit

paints = games workshop water base pints they have close on 100 diff colours n whats good it they can be thinned down with water

asto technic i apply base colour ie: yellow leave it to dry then apply yellowy orange ink thined down to the lines then once thats dry touch up base colour then give a lighter shade on top

Hi,

I aslo use the Wargames paints but to base-coat my interiors. I airbrush it.

You use quite the same technic as mine.

Here is how I do: interior painting (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=87928&highlight=winsor%26newton)
Look at the bottom of the page.

nope seat has no bubbles its still waiting to be touched up from the ink lining

Looking great, if you use Gamesworkshop paints (i have around 60 or so that I use occasionly too) what do you use to paint the exterior?? Why not paint the wheels black so the Diablo looks like the GT model?

I agree with what Lowryda has to say, to me it seems a bit childish/unrealistic to have you diablo riding on those yellow rims.
oh, and another question, has there ever been a real Aero Diablo?

still, it's your call; but going on nicely.
Keep it up, Olivier:cool:

Looking good so far. I love the door panel. Keep us updated.

good work

looking good so far. Can't wait to see the finished work

finished the seatting aera, engine n chassie they all built,
n now the ugly bad news i gotta sand all the front down on the body n respray n hopes that fixes the prob other wise it be a full restart on body

well finaly get the paint on the front right n find out theres 2 massive patches where the paint is chipped clean away around the drivers door so now i gotta put it on hold till i can get some paint stripper n fully restart ;(

Man, that engine is beautiful!
