Nice job! Hey, I sent you another PM

[Mr. Jekyll]

I made the mufflers.

First, I prepared original parts to add photoetched and some screws:


Then I sprayed primer (Gunze's surfacer):


...and gloss black as a base for CF and Alclad:


Now, the mufflers are almost ready. I'm gonna also use some extra exhaust logos (T2M) - I'm waiting for them from Hiroboy




Finished rear damper:

[Mr. Jekyll]

Finally, I have finished with chain and sprocket...




...and put some parts together

[HamburgerHead]

amazing craftsmanship and photography!

[Mr. Jekyll]

Thanks!!! I do the best I can!

Meanwhile...
I finished the mufflers:


I thought, that I upgrade a Tamiya's display case a little... I've bought a thin carbon sheet in R/C shop. Than I cut it to a suitable size and glued into display stand.


I think the model will be look cool standing on that surface

this is a great w-i-p..

your masking and painting are flawless
two thumbs-up

[Mr. Jekyll]

Now, I'm working on the exhaust...

Here's some pictures:






Now, I have to add some weld lines...

[Mr. Jekyll]

I made the weld lines. I used a Gunze's Mr. Dissolved Putty for it. I layed a narrow lines by a edged toothpick.


In the evening I'll paint it black. When dry, I'll try to put some ''dusty'' wash on it.
