Completed* Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM D2

[Rickard_Olsson]

I have finished another one now and I will participate in a contest with this one and the C-Class DTM D2 I have

so here it is:

The Mercedes-Benz CLK-DTM D2

basically OOB except for som wiring and interior stuff like the steering wheel that is placed on the dashboard and some smaller stuff like that

I also gave it some battle-damage.. I heated up the rear bumper a bit and my goal was to make it look like it had been hit coming into like the first corner. I think it looks OK

Here´s the pics:



and here you can see the damage:





The engine (alot of CF as you can see) :





..and with the C-class DTM:







That´s it for now

I like the battle-damage concept; however, it seems that the diffuser is carbon fiber and would therefore break clean off rather than bend. Just a hint for more realism. Interesting carbon-look. How did you do that?

I did think about that.. but I didn´t knew how to replicate broken of CF.. :/ and the CF.. first I painted some matt-black and then I take a normal pen and I draw the lines.. it´s simple, cheap and looks good to the naked eye

If it were me, I would saw off a piece, maybe make it "jagged" with a file or something, and then use a knife or scriber to add some fracture marks. You might still be able to do this before the contest... Looking good overall!

I can't imagine that creating damage like that is easy, but your result is excellent. Did you do the damage before or after applying paint and decals?
