Porsche 911 Carrera

[BVC500]

Nice paintwork, and color combo!

[brando590]

Beautiful painting. The color combination really makes it happen. Maybe some chrome on those wheels or body color to make them POP?

Great recovery on the painting !!!

Very nice job. Kris, may I suggest you to gently mill the taillights seats for a better fit of the two clear parts?

Yesterday I polished the body.

Started with 3600 and ended with 12000 grid. A few polishingcompounds and some carwax and this is the result:









For this picture I had to do my hair


The color is very hard to photograph, so I'll take some outdoor pics to see the great shine on the paint.

Not interesting enough? I know it's not a **** (censored) drifter, but some reaction would be nice... :-?

Alright, today I did some work on the chassis.

First I painted the shocks and the driveshafts:



Than painted the subframes and wheatered them.



Some chassiscovers also wheatered.



Painted the exhaust silver, and used some Tamiya make-up for the heatings.



The chassis was already painted flat black. Yesterday I painted the engine, and today I wheatered the whole chassis.









The wheels looks nice but they are missing something. I thought about painted the trim with polished aluminium, just like the original wheels. This is an option on the real wheels as well. So I painted them with Humbrol Metalizer paint. When they are dry enough I have to rub it with some cloth for more shine.





I also placed the numberplates. First I painted the numberplates white. After all I clearcoated them.



From Mdo227 I got the missing headlight. Unfortunatly I found the missing headlight :oops:

I also placed the clearparts. For the Porsche logo I used a 3D decal from HobbyDesign.

The sidemirrors got some black paint.

The black gluetrims around the windows are also painted. And I glued them inside the body.

























Now it's time to finish the chassis and maybe lower it somewhat.

I also will start on the interior, but I really don't know what color I'm gonna use. I think I will use a red color with alu and black :?:

Nice work! I would have painted the signals gray instead of orange. Only the early 996s had orange indicators.

The weathering on the chassis and it's sub-assemblies is impressive!

It is a great looking car Kris, A ruby red interior with dark grey would be a nice combination

[Entau]

everything looks great

i got 1 question, is tamiya's mica silver darker than the TS-17 gloss aluminium?

[janositamas]

It's coming along nicely!

Count 1 vote to the red/alu/black combo for the interior!

A question: is there any chance you could put some bigger diameter tires on the rear? I think that would improve the look of it!

The rear tyres are a bit wider than the front tyres. Look at the pic with the wheels close up, and you'll see.

Thanks

TS-17 is also a nice silver color, but slightly brighter than Mica Silver. I think Mica Silver is nicer, but the choise is yours. I also added Pearl Clear on the Mica Silver paint.
