2000 Opel Astra - Gone in 60 Seconds livery
Started this one early this year, then fizzled, and now it's back on the bench.
 Body in Tamiya primer:  Windows masked off, painted black and ready for some CF.  SMS and Micrscale CF ready to go on.  Alclad chrome on a few parts...  Tamiya Aluiminum on the wheels.  Tamiya Bright Orange and clear on the body. Still needs a quick wetsand and polish.  More to come soon. Hopefully not 8 months from now!  Erick --

Re: 2000 Opel Astra - Gone in 60 Seconds livery
CFing done... LOTS of it....
 Microscale for everything. I got a sheet of their new stuff TF44, but it's way too big. I used it on the bottom anyway... Rest of it is TF34 with a light coat of smoke on it.  Tried something new for the seat. Not elite results, but pretty fair "in scale". In real life it looks like very fine grains of sand sprinkled on the surface. Second pic is just a thin coat of Tamiya Matte Black over the top.   More to come soon... Erick --

Re: 2000 Opel Astra - Gone in 60 Seconds livery
Thats one place i forgot to add carbon was the side window frames.
 Progress looks really good, the cf does look way out of scale on the chassis, but the other cf looks spot on. As for the seats, i think that paint would really look good on valve covers. Maybe a thicker coat will give it a grainier look. Keep us posted, as it looks like its going to look great once done. BTW When you do the door hinges, screw the two pieces together first, then glue the parts (Actual hinge 2 parts)to the doors, then lastly screw the doors to the car (two screws for each hinge). I found this was the easiest, and less troubling way to put the doors on. Also your soppoused to leave the screws loose that attach to the roof or else they won't open. Hope this helps.
