At last, here are the finished pics of my best model sofar (If I may say so myself.
I think it belongs to the category of model cars that "do look nice but look even better IRL".
This model looks box-stock , but there have been made many modifications to make it even more true to it's real life counterpart, the awesome, road-going Alpine.
So, what are the mods;
Some detail painting according to reference pictures
Blackwashing and drybrushing parts of the engine
Heat discoloration on the exhaust
The interior has recieved a special threatment , I was going for a worn leather look , and it came out nice nicely.. but not very noticable ...
Valves have been added to the rims
The engine has been wired, and the carburetters have been detailed
Painted Tamiya Chrome Yellow, polished afterwards.
The rims have been painted Tamiya AS-42 (silver leaf) and the bumpers also.
And for the rest spraycans , and tesors metalisers complete this package .
Tell me what you think as I think I did a quite ..
job!
always appreciated.
Cheers,
olivier
On with the pictures (it was a bit late, so no really glossy pics, although the paint is smooth as ice.
Pfew...
