Finished pics : 2002 Porsche Carrera 4 Cabriolet(warning to 56k-ers!)

might take some time to see the pics, sorry guys, bear with me!

OK!

Finally, after gathering dust or being badmouthed when I had it in my hands, it finally is standing in my closet, and it has a fierce attitude I may say.

I m pretty happy with the outcome of this project, not that it took so much work, but hey, I m lazy!

Here's a link to the progress thread!

I changed the front bumper, the rear bumper and the lights to 2002 996 spec, and changed a big part of the chassis to make it the carrera 4, as I wanted to do that car.
Also the interior has been taken care of with photoetch belts, and added details all around the cockpit.I also changed the rims to AVS model 5's and scratchbuilt the brakes for it, as those that came with the kit were utter CRAP!

As for the rest, it's tamiya Mica Blue over some gray primer, and the car is by revell- italeri, and is pretty cheap compared to the tamiya one, but also is a little less to standards of modeling.


This is about it I think, if anybody has got comments , or suggestions, or jsut wants to say "good job" I m not holding you back :-)








Thanks for watching and patienting for the pics...

Have a nice day

Ciao

Oli

Beautiful car.
Nicely detailed inside and out.
The wheels really set it off.

Rgds,
hehe , I actually made clear plastic lights out of see-through plastic, thermoformed them...

Too bad the pics don't show them?

At least I know they're there :-) :-)

And thanks for the comments, all!

Oh, and Phil; Prolly next it 's not the e-type jag,but some other stuff I m working on, as I have a shitload of ongoing projs I want to finish before I start something else.

Bye

Olivier
