damn man, that engine is so beautiful! how did you get your white primer to be so shiny? looks like my racing white supra.

Great engine, looks cool. Did you drybrush the Porsche letters?

robrex · 08-12-2004, 03:56 AM

Looking good so far!
Did you have to clean up lots of mold lines on the body like I did? I thought it was a bit disappointing from Tamiya.

It's looking awesome Matt, I can't wait to see your kit completed. I know it'll look great

Thanks guys.

To answer some questions:
Between the first and second coat of primer I sprayed Gloss white to help cover up the silver body. It made the 2nd coat of primer pretty smooth.

The red letters on the top of the intake were carefully drybrushed. They will be a little visible through the engine hatch, so I'm glad I painted them.

The mold lines on this kit were a little bit heavy for a Tamiya kit. But since there are virtually no sharp lines on this car anywhere, there's no place to conceal them like Tamiya usually does.

It is looking freaken awsome. I am so intriqued by this kit for whatever reason I don't know. It's getting the same excitement the enzo got. I am hesitant to start mine, but I often stare at the box.

Very nice work! Can't wait to see the finished car.

SchuberT · 08-13-2004, 03:02 AM

wow the stance of the car is amazing, and you're right... it WOULD look good in white...

great job with the engine, etc. loving the detail.

CADguy · 08-14-2004, 06:02 PM

The chassis and interior are now completed, and all the other sub-assemblys that will attach to the body are done. I just have to wait now for the body to dry to be polished.

I sprayed the body this morning, and WOW is it bright.

Sweet job! Keep it up. Now that I look at it, the car reminds me of the Veilside Fortune 01 MR-S, or the other way around.

Phew !!!
Looking even better now, im really impressed with the whole job you've done there. Funny thing is.........when i first saw that Tamiya were releasing that kit i was'nt in the least bit impressed but seeing your build here makes me wanna click on the HLJ page and order one right now.

Later, Mike

Enjoyed your progress like enjoying Kunta's!

May I learn what color you used for the interior? From the instruction, it seems a difficult mix to me? Pls advise !!

Tks!!

TireGaint · 08-15-2004, 03:41 PM

WOW, great build......Porsche factories are every where right now. Good job.
