[AhYi88]

Hi i'm new to this forum And quite new to car modelling too! (about 6mths old) Err i'm not sure if i can just post my photos here. I shall post one first before someone confirm that with me This is my Porche 911. My 6th.

Hey welcome!! The Porsche looks clean, but I recommend painting the black window trims around and the window pillars. Maybe you can post a few more pictures, with a bit more focus, that way there'll be more replies (hopefully). I see some harnesses in there too!






(PS.. exactly the thing I mentioned in my FW19 post)...

[AhYi88]

Well actually i screwed up the harness (is that what you called it?). I'm not quite sure how to install it into the seats. Any suggestions on it?

The top-back view. Hmm about the winscreen, it's suppose to be kinda like UV light protective layer. I'm trying on my hands on customising (obviously i'm not that good at it =P) right now.

The colour on the headlights are coloured using marker pens. Any tips on spray painting?

The back.


Basically thats all i have right now. Any negative or positive comments pls? I wanna improve on my modelling skills Thanks!
And oh, i recently bought a ink-print decal. After i printed it out, i soak it in water to remove the "cover". When i do that, the ink fates and it turns back to a blank piece of decal. I tried waiting for it to dry for a day before trying it again. Any advice for that??? And thanks f1wc for your comment =D I will try painting the window trims =D

well, when you use that ink-print decal, try to clearcoat it after printing, however i would recommend clearcoating it even before printig, only for sure

and the seatbelts: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/new/150736.jpg
seat belt is divided into 2 halfs, lower half is just passed throught harness (it means that you can easily pull the belt to adjust it for your body), upper belt is passed too, but its stitched on wrong side

hope you undrestand me, because my english is poor

very clean, i am building a 911 carrera at this moment. you might also want to sand out the seam lines on the body as well. it will makes the car look much better

[AhYi88]

Oh ok. And thanks Tripmaster. The decal thing worked =D. How do I paint the outline of the car anyway? Assuming i'm spraying the car white?

this is going to sound obvious but before you start it is always useful to have a look online for images of the car you are buidling. As good as some kits are, there will always be things that need to be fixed. Photos also show you the details better.

in your case, things like that silver strip on top of the rear lights and how the sills are more flush with the body are the most obvious ones that stand out to me.

as mentioned before, you don't appear to have prepped the body at all prior to painting.
Have a look in the FAQs for the sanding/painting guides to see what that can of worms is about.
