Duh! I knew something was a miss on the bike LOL thanks I am painting them

hmm let me search that ruined kits tread... I need to feel good

[Toughbeard]

after 5 days of waiting I wet sanded the body and polished it with tamiya compound... I am going to wait for another day so everything settles down.

Then I will either clear coat it or just polish it again and leave it the way it is...







The chassis:

Great looking porsche. Like the detail under the car.

[Toughbeard]

Well I decided that the wing on the back of the car was not what I wanted so built mine from styrene sheet...

Here are some pictures...

After staring at the car for a while I thought something was a miss...

Sponsor decals!!!! So I started fiddling around my decals sheets pile and kit decals, but I realized I have to ruin 6 decal sheets from various kits to get decals and most were not what I wanted. I wanted all black decals... maybe shades..

So I said why not, and custom built my decals... luckily I had a sheet of inkjet decal paper I bought a year ago from germany. so I printed the logos on the paper... Here are 2 photos..



this one is a little off color but it shows you whay I printed and the name of the decal on top.



Here is a detail shot of a portion of the decal.

once dry (atleast I thought it was) I applied a coat of microsol decal liquid over it. let it to dry again. since it was not all dry some of the decals were ruined but I still have 95% of the sheet so it is acceptable

then I tested with one of the ruined decals and it worked great.

Here is what the GT3 looks like at the moment.




enjoy

Good job on the spoiler. The paint job is especially nice.

[Toughbeard]

well the gt3 project has come to an abrupt stop with me accidentally dripping thinner on the body I will leave it alone for a while for the paint to dry and see if it can be repaired...

Sorry to hear about that and I hope you get it fixed.. That paint looked so perfect! Anyway if and when you get it fixed tel me that you´re going to paint those wheels black like the wing and the decals, it would look awesome!

[ywwong]

by the way.. your gundams look great!!

[Toughbeard]

flying finn: The rear wing will be CF actually

the wheels I was debating on actually... leave as they are or an anodized look. (dark metalic gray or blackish color)

ywwong: thanks

[flying finn]

Ok. But I´m telling you, black rims would look bad ass

BTW Did you get the paint fixed?

[labandabonnot]

Whatever you'll do, it will look awesome! Hope the thinner didn't damaged your beautifull paint!

(looking at the photo, the chromed wheels seem to be white... I love that, a good racing look!...)

[Toughbeard]

well actually the hood, the nose and the right front quarter is damaged.... I washed it with water as soon as it happened so the damage should be kept to a minimum (I hope) I am just leaving it alone at the moment. It should be fixable...as sson as I am in a better mood I ll fix it

white...hmmm..... now thats an idea....
