Little projects update. (pic heavy)

I have got a lot of projects coming into different stages of modeling now, so I thought I gave a little overview, it surely won't hurt anybody :)

These are my two "not so original projects":cool: but I still love them, I am having a ball making the 360 modena, I just couldn't believe how shiny it was; after polishing I didn't even have to go to the bathroom to put on my gel in my hair, I could see myself in the paintwork. Not bad for first time polishing work ! Also the 206 is in last stage, assembly and detailing and decaling. chassis, interior and glueing is done.

Third (and fourth... :rolleyes: project is the Alpine.
Let me explain; I have two of them... ok, clear now.
Well, painted Chrome yellow, polished, nice deep shine, and in final stage of completion. Check it outhttp://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/667205alpinezij.jpg

The second alpine, sadly was painted Humbrol enamel, tried to sand and re-paint acrilic, but it had a bad reaction, so that bodywork will be on hold, untill I decide to get my mazy ass up and go to the hobbyshop...:cool:

At the fifth place, there's the alfa GTV WRC (more info try search button)
still trying to make the body wider and smoother, but really :sleep: slow progress... But have figured out which elements to use in engine and suspension, so basic work is done.http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/940189Alfa5.jpg

Up next, we have the more original Honda SM-X. Bought this kit, because I wondered why someone would buy suchj an horrible car. So I looked at it, and I felt sorry for the car, Thought I would make it a nice kit, so it could be appreciated in its full glory:bandit: .http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/242920SMX.jpg
painted first black and then a few coats telefonica blue.
It doesn't show well in the pics, but it's super-shiny, and super dark colour. A nice car.

Please keep in mind that these pics are just Works in progress and do not represent atcual finished models quality......

also pics were taken inside, so shinyness is not so good .. well.. MZL

I've got two words for you! You are not alone my brother!:D :rolleyes: :eek: :silly:

You've got some interesting projects on the go there. Very nice.

Can I ask you what the Alpine is like as a kit, Fancied doing one for a while now?

Richie

As a kit, it has a nice engine, that can be detailed very well if you put your time in it, and not that difficult to build, not that much pieces, and you 'll be glad you've bought a semi-gloss black can when building it.

To summarise, a nice kit, with engine, quite small compared to the other model cars (but so is the real car also) and a joy to build. If you take your time, you're guaranteed of a great result.

Olivier

Man you sure have allot of stick-to-it-tiveness to do all of those at once without one of them suffering for the spreading of concentration. They look good. My hats off to ya. Hey what is the little van?

Wow! You do so many kits at the same time.

looks like you got your hands full there, they look great. The mobil 1 NSX is looking awsome :D

Wow, you're working too much. ;)
I like Alpine's color, it's looking so good. and love Quattrovalvole!
keep up the great jobs!!!

sweet projects. Good job on all of them. You use model master paint and primer?

Hey, thanks a lot for all of your positive comments!:)
I will try to make them as soon as possible and keep you updated!

And, ,to answer your question, I only use Tamiya Primer (gray) and Tamiya paint. Only my f"é'ed up Alpine was done using Humbrol. Last time I ever used one of those !

Once again, a lot of thanks, guys!

Olivier:)

Very nice mass production, don't you ever put the wrong brake discs or the wrong windows on the wrong car?? :D

Looking forward to seeing those beauties finished.

Have fun building

Jan
