Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

The decals are done!!!

I can´t say enough about how good the Profil24 decals are. I have used a lot of decals, and this sheets must be in the top 3 on my list:





All decals adhered beautifully to the ZERO paints clear without any tear or wrinkle. They reacted very good to Micro Sol, and their finish is glossy and even. One day after the decals were applied, I sprayed a couple mist coats of clear:





The finish looks very good to me! The clear dried very even and glossy, so no sanding or polishing will be required.

Now, time to prepare the last details (windows, grilles, etc) and final assembly. Thanks for watching!!

Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

Wow Sam01 - that really looks fantastic - well done - I have Frank's "decaldoc" decals and I also just received a set of decals for each car by Patto at "Pattos Place" that do not have a background color like on his original decals for the flying lizard cars. The Pattos Place decals are very good quality and allow for painting the background colors with "zero paints" so anyone wanting a set of the decals should go to Pattos website or contact Patto via an email. - John

Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

Both look stunning, i was surprised you took the risk and cleared so soon after applying the decals, id be scared to death thinking they would wrinkle up etc without setting in fully....
Well done.

Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

We've been waiting for these pictures (I think nobody will complain if you upload em in a higher resolution) for some time, but it's well worth the wait. Fabulous work!

Sorry, I forgot to say that I placed the bodies in the dehydrator 3-4 hours to completely dry the decals.

Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

The Lizards are almost done!

I installed the windshield and rear window and finally placed the body in the chassis (by the way, Scale Production window frames are absolutely perfect and very easy to apply):









I only need a couple days to add the final details (wings, mirrors, headlights, etc.) and diffusers. Fortunately the weekend is here, so I will show you the finished models in my next post!

Thanks for your interest! I hope you´re still watching!

Re: 2011 flying lizard porsches

absolutely beautiful work Sam - thanks again for sending me the decal application sheet - I will get my decals applied in the next week or two - John

These really came out well and you have definitely set the bar for what is possible for the "Flying Lizards" cars or any 997 GT3 RSR for that matter
