Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Taking a break from my progress, i decided to post some old enzo pics which i finished about 3 years ago. Not very satisfy with the body paint and overall construction.. And during a period of time, i was working overseas and somehow during this period of time, it developed cracks, and i believe it must be the direct hit by sunlight, because i didnt instruct my maid to close my curtains in the afternns!!! THis is also partly the reason to why i decided to do this project!

Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Hi! Great build so far.
BTW, How's the Lion Roar PE set compared to the Crazy modeller set? I'm planning to buy one for my Enzo build.

thanks!

Hi, actually imo, there are a few differences. Bascially Crazy Modeler has more detail photoetch parts than LIon Roar. Crazy Modeler also offered better-looking grills than LR. CM also offers a full disc brakes unlike LR which only has the disc brake surface photoetch. CM also has mini plates at different parts of the car and some heat shield photoetch which LR doesnt offer as well. But its better to get the heat shield foil from MHF.. One may wonder why i still get the the LR set, i tink its mainly because of the car plate with the engraving 'enzo ferrari'.

Therefore i think you should get the crazy modeler set. it covers most of what the car has.

Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Hi all, just a little update of whats going on this build.

Firstly some modification is done on the dashboard, air-con outlet is substituted with CM's photoetch. I feel that its not realistic compared to the real thing. What do you guys think? I can always use back the spare piece.



A raw work of the front luggage area, totally not satisfied with the outcome, i decided to scratchbuilt another one using plaplate instead of cardboard.

This is the initial stage of the new luggage area


Some testing carpets are done, but will be redoing them, by flocking better.

Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Nice progress, the new luggage compartment definately looks better than the old one.

btw, how did you do the writing on the carpet? looks really cool.

Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Nice detail, the luggage box looks great!, I feel the carpet a little on the big side here, but that is just to mention something.
The air vents look good to me, may be if you want to make them see more real, you can add very thin/small pieces of plastic (little squares) behind every arm of the star that form the vents, to give volume to the assembly, I was wondering about the use of this parts on mine, but they look good, and adding those small parts is not that difficult and would help a lot.

Keep this great work, it is inspiring.

Thanks for the comment! For the carpets, i think i will remake them because i thought that my flocking was done badly, but for the size, i believe its because of the angle i took the picture and therefore it may look big here. i make the carpets by using masking templates from the molded carpets. I agree with you about the air vents. As i have mentioned, i think i will either switched back to the original piece or may adopted your idea. thanks once again!

Re: Extreme Detailed Enzo Ferrari.....

Back with some updates

I think i didnt look thorough enough with the reference pics when i last posted this particular part, there should be another rod coming out in another direction.


Some wiring at the heat shield area.


Started to add in some bolts and nuts


Wiring done and added to the frame



Heat shield also added to the engine



Engine fixed with details slowing adding to it, patience patience




Moving slightly away from the engine, i moved on to the brake calipers. After some referencing, i added some details to it too.!


Came across a hobby shop a few days ago and saw this mesh patterns. Its almost as fine as tamiya mesh but i think it look more 'solid'

This is where i will place the mesh.


A rough look of the carpets in the interior


Thats all for today.. thanks

Ro
