Boring red Enzo Ferrari done (Lots of images-sorry 56k)

Just got this done tonight for tomorrow's Tamiya/Con 2003. Finally its over. I've been on and off for two months building this thing. I must say that this kit is one of the most challenging kits I've ever put together out of the box. Really tests your patience! I've painted everything specified in the instruction sheet with Tamiya's colors. This is my first time building a totally box stock kit-so consider me a newbie at this. :)

Oh... I left out the exhaust tips in the pics. I tried to get pictures before it got too dark.

I apologize to the dial up users. I got carried away with snapping images.

Absolutely beautiful model!! :shocked:

Boring? hmmm not the least!
Good pics, great shine and well worth the effort!

I wonder how many Enzos will be at the competition.

Very nice, that model is everything except boring! (in a good way I mean :p )

I'm shocked at the realism, almost looks like a diecast :p

I cant wait to see what the prize is you get for first place ;)

:flash: I really like him. Did you also add a clear coat??

Very nice!

Superb model !


Hats down !!

Olivier

Beautifully crafted!!!

Definitively one of the best Enzo’s I’ve seen until now.
Well done. :)

You have to be kidding, at least I hope the :p indicates you're kidding!
If not you're in the wrong forum to suggest a diecast could somehow surpass a hand crafted work of art such as the above! :D

Incredible! :eek:

Absolutely perfect! Looks like a replica of PMan's Enzo ;).

Man!! Awesome job you did on the Enzo.
And.. Good Luck for the Contest!~ :smoker2:

thats definitley not boring, it looks awsome, hope u come back with a 1st place for this one:)

Shiny :sun: The Enzo indeed a machine but the spider looks sporty :D Excellent work! Good luck to you! Hope to hear good news from you soon ;)

nice... and good luck to u :p

It looks like you and Pman have the same model.

As expected from you, superb.

Holy s*** !!! Thats so amazing !!! I think you'll win the con because the model is perfect (box-stock) !!

HAHAHAH you guys have all been fooled..

you see, he took P-man's model and photographed it again...

:devil:

nice pair!!

Truley awesome quality dude. :) :) :) :) :) :)

One word to describe it: Amazing! and the 360 is amamzing as well.

Nice looking models ! that enzo's interior is to clean !

Nice job

Well, I just got back and I placed 2nd with the Enzo in the box stock class and a first with the Hamann 360 in the factory stock class.
I'm exhausted from waiting around for several hours. I got to meet several members of AF at the show. Jay and Jose were the only ones that entered. Lots of good stuff!

Congrads mate...i hope you have taken plenty of pics for us !! ;)

Yeah, it was great.

In the factory stock class, does'nt the car have to be stock??? Who placed first in the box-stock class??

I was glad to meet You, Jay, Jay's friend, and Jose.


I need to find out the in-depth rules for the box stock class because I'm gonna enter next year, but I'm not surea bout al the rules. I read the rules in the Tamiya page but that did'nt explain enough, do you have a link to all the rules for that class???

Congratulations on the trophy!!!

Congratulations on your first and second places, Walter.

What was the model like that took first place in box stock, must have been special to knock the Ezo back to second.

And what is the difference between box stock and factory stock?

Thanks guys.

I don't know when the judging criteria changed for a box stock kit. Tamiya's rules state that there are no deviations from the instuction sheet. The other guy had a tan interior and many small details were not painted in. I could go on, but maybe Mr. Tamiya likes the "trademark" Ferrari tan/red scheme. Many competitors already thought I had first in that category. After the show many of them were shocked and told me something wasn't right, but what can I do? Decisions are final. Oh well, nothing is wrong with a second.
Here's some pics to judge for yoursleves.

Congrats on the win!!

Sounds like you were robbed! :eek:

Although the tan interior does look nice.

Wow, congrats wkma7six!

Do describe alittle about the competition like
which car or model came in first
how many enzos were there taking part? :D
What kind of atmosphere, tensed...etc

congrats walter !!! I think the tan interior looks nice but its not correct !!!!

Wow, congrats for the prize Walter.

Congratulations on the win!

Technically in real life, you can order an Enzo with any interior color you want. I believe the instructions say you can paint the inside/outside any color you want, since it is in line with Ferrari's policy.

Still, I think you were robbed! Congrats on the second and first place finishes!

Congrats! In my opinion you were robbed, your model looks more realistic. You painted your rims which is the way they are on the real car and the detailing you did around the doors sets it apart from the first place car. The finishes on both cars look flawless, yours is first in my book. :confused: :)

I must chirp in, having had the chance to see them side by side on the table (BTW, they were the only two Enzos entered), and without any disrespect to Bill Attridge (who also won the Master Modeler award for another entry), both were flawlessly built, but here Walter's paint was much better.

Good job, once again! :D The Enzo and 360 look stunning side-by-side!! :eek:

Thanks Jay, but the 1st place was by someone other than Bill Attridge.

Here's the new update at Tamiya's website:

Yeah, I noticed that too. Roman and I were lookin at both of them and saying they are the same but I told him the one on the right hand side (Walter's) has a better paint job (not knowing it was Walter's). I was suprised the other one won, but the other one was very well done also, it's just that Walter's was better :bloated:

OMG!!!!!!! That Enzo is just stunningly gorgeous- you just made this Ferrari fans day :D

Amazing build!

Good luck and don't get your entry mixed up with somebody else's:hehehe:

heres the link to pics of it PICS (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t126176.html)

hope these pics help someone in the future:bigthumb:

Thats not boring. That is really nice.:bigthumb:

What a beaut!!!

I think you have done a really complimentary job. Pity there is no CF detailing though. :)

But still, all in all,.....BRILLIANT job.

-Headlight

When models look that good and that much work is put into it, its hard to put a rating or a place on it. I think it comes down to prefrence of the judge like color stuff like that. But offense to you, its a beautiful model and far better than I could ever do.

Thank god I have broadband.

your car looks better IMO, I would have picked it honestly. this is coming from someone who spent hours around an enzo this week. your paint is perfect. the interior is perfect. I don't like the tan on the enzo, the real enzo I saw was like yours and I wouldn't change a thing. the only thing I could knock you for would be the lack of CF. doesn't look like the other guys had it either. you get 1st place in my book.

MY GOSH IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

did you really use only tamiya paints??? bottle or spray??? I could never get good results from acrylics!!! :confused:

F*cking awesome job - perfect.
