As perfect as usual. Don´t know what else i should say. :worshippy
Which kind of silver paint did you take for those, please?

Many thanks Julian!

Color: Silver RAL9006 - Brand: Talken (Italy)

Impressive silver arrows! :worshippy

That last one is a beauty! Congrats on three gorgeous babies :biggrin:

AWESOME WORK!!!! I Love the CLR, it looks awesome & didnt know that anybody made it. Great Photography as well!!

This is AWESOME!

Excellent work! Some very fine racing Benzs you have here :D

Each one is a work of art! The photography really helps too.

Where did you find the CLR kit? The amazing flying MBZ.

3 brilliantly finished silver arrows. My favourite is the first, oldest '91, probably because I'm old and it's more my era but they're all great!

Mostly I appreciated you back to the desk! Obviously the results are those we expect from you A.

Con affetto, gio

Where did you get the c291 from, I have been looking around for the Merc's, Peugeot', Porsche's and Jag's that were involved in the 91 race where Mazda beat them?

Beautiful models and lighting!

Stunning work, love the CLK-GTR!!

Can I ask, how do you do your panel lines? ... I've tried using a mechanical pencil but it ends up appearing 'dark grey' rather than black.

Thanks again for all the kind comments, then…

Outamyhead, the C291 has been bought here http://www.dodicicilindri.it/html/home.htm (http://www.dodicicilindri.it/html/home.htm) website is not updated, you should email them.

TurboGuru, I start rescribing all the panel lines sometimes with a thick hand-made scriber

and sometimes with the SRC etched scriber blade
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/RJ1108/AP/panelines5.jpg

Then, I paint without any care the panel lines with Tamiya semi-gloss black X-18 and, once dried, I remove the excess with a scratch-remover (Arexons in this case), obtaining a straight and clean line

I hope the explanation would answer your question.

Ale.

Thanks for your answer. Didn´t expect a simple Ral-colour to look that good.

Very nice work!!! That Black Box kit is not bad at all when finished. It is not long enough, but otherwise good.

I love them all but that C291 is my favorite. Great job!!!!

Wow! Thank you for providing images! ... I don't think we have Arexons in the UK, but we do have 'Scratch X' which I think I could use instead.

Interesting, I see most people use the same technique as yourself except they use a wash, usually the body colour mixed with black along with a thinner in the ratio of 1:10.

I'm struggling to work out how best to apply this on a white car. Using the above method I could just mix white and black along with the thinner at 1:10 or use your method and apply something like "Tamiya Smoke" (light grey) directly onto the panel area.

Yes, Tamiya Smoke is a good option on white bodywork (panel lines darkness is a personal taste...). Nevertheless, I think you should go polishing afterwards, to have neat lines.

Very nice Mulsanne killers!! I like the evolution of the CLKs which are obvious in the incredible builds and outstanding photography.

All brilliant!

Amazing, I would never tell those are resin kits, I love mesh on the rear of CLK and overall "real" look of your models, nice to see you back.

great models where did you get the CLR kit

Great work they look stunning
