Porsche 911 GT2 Progress thread

[MythosGR]

Thanks a lot for all the replys...Happy that most of you liked how it turned out...

The project is almost finished so this might be the last set of pics...

This one is for mike to see mabout the extinguishers:



Here are some rollbar and dash pics...







Here are some inetrior pics..





And the last one is a tribute to one of the best aspects of this model the amazing wheels!



The yellow blue theme seems to work very well even on the wheels...(I wanted to paint the wheels gold to match with the blue paintjob but I thought to keep the blue-yellow theme on the wheels...not sure if It was a good move...)

P.S:huudo when I posted the pics at the second and third time there wasn't any replys and all the previous replys was not that good!(LoL everyone hated the color before the dark clear coat...)

The yellow rollbar goes very nicely with the car.

Ahhhhhhh........the pictures iv'e been waiting for. Looks great so far.
Now im with you !!!
Ive just been following the instructions for my GT2 which dont show you where to mount the fire extiguishers. Hmmmm...ive also mounted both seats in mine so i cant have mine in the front anyway. Where would you recommend i put them.
Thanks.

[MythosGR]

If you notice clearly they are in front of where the passenger seat is supposed to be...which menas you can have both the pasenger seat and the fire ext's!
If you don't want to put them there a second place would be in the middle of the rear shits(to add a little detail in the back area..)and then put some wiring for them...dunno...Your choice!
I would still put them in front of the pasenger bucket...(I've seen race cars having it that way...)

Hope I helped you a bit...

[mike united]

OH, you helped me a lot.

Cheers, and good look with the Porsche.

I figured it out! You've been looking at old Penske Sunoco cars all this time, haven't you?

It looks lusicious. Get it completed soon.

[MythosGR]

Well it might not be a Camaro but yes OCtagon you are right...
J/k
But if you notice he had his rollbars white not yellow...LoL

I think the paint theme will look great when it's finished...It will also have some gloss black touches...

[Layla's Keeper]

True, but I didn't mean just the Camaros. Roger also campaigned Lola T-70's, the infamous Porsche 917-30, and a GORGEOUS Ferrari 512M. Fisher Model Works and Pattern has an excellent resin curbside kit of this car...

[MythosGR]

One more pics and the model is getting closer...



P.S:Only the one side panel is placed in order to take the photo...


The only real work left is painting the lines on the windows and some details here and there...I can't wait to see how it will lookin the end since I haven't put them all together not even for test to see how it will look like...

[MythosGR]

Here is my first attempt on panel lines...I freehand draw them with a brush...They came out much better than I thought they will...

It was so difficult...





Bonus pics the rear hatch...

[MythosGR]

This is the last pics in the progress thread!(really!)
The model is finished just I'm not sure about the rear lights...here are the pics...











Well not many things to say...if there are any suggestions or any mistakes I made tell me since it's my last chance to correct them...

P.S:The windows can easily fall off if you don't put enough glue...I learnt it the bad way!(but if you put a lot of glue you might mess up your paint but then that's modeling...)

[RyanGiorgio]

Thats coming along great. The only suggestion i have is to polish the body a little bit more.

[PorschePong]

(*Ok, this is only my opinion, it's not criticism)

Your car looks good but I just dunno why u sprayed the silver flakes on, cuz now it's looks like a toy.....

[MythosGR]

Well to be honest the color don't really came out as I wanted...
But when everyone said that they didn't like it I thought of give a try to make it looking good...
I put my best in this model(in my opinion better than the skyline)and the color is still a problem but after working on it and specially after the clear coat the color looks great(in person( and the theme make the model look better than my expectations...

Happy you posted your opinion!
Critisism makes you better...


P.S:However I didn't just sprayd silver flakes on it is a custom mixed color with three different hues of blue and the one comes with silver and blue flakes...It really looks better in person...(maybe I should borrow a digital and post some pics outside...)

P.S.2:Main reason for the thread is the many pics I got through the build up which I'm surte thay might help one day someone building the same model...

Thanks everyone for your good words...
