Amazing built. Can you tell me which paint did you use for the brake disks?

RallyRaider · #32 06-08-2006, 05:38 AM

Thanks. No paint on the brake disks they are Studio 27 PE.

Holy shit!!! That thing is perfect! Awesome work man, the detail is wicked and that paintjob's outta this world! You've got some serious skill...

Beautiful build! Very nice finish on all the paint and love the c/f.

I enjoyed the WIP on this one and the end result ties it all together.

An inspiration

Dayum that's gorgeous

I thought white was the perfect color for the CGT. Now I realize black is just as good!

No more silver CGT's! No more silver CGT's! No more silver CGT's! No more silver CGT's! No more silver CGT's! No more silver CGT's!

Yeah. What they said. WoW! Ultra clean work. Almost looks like a studio shoot of a real car. Yeah. WoW... - Mark

I have looked at this many times just to escape the real world now and then but finally decided to say it is model poetry, in all its elegance.

Wow, the best and cleanest GT I have ever seen, great build!

Ok this might have been asked already, and if it has been, I'm sorry. But you have to tell me step by step what you do to get a shine like that. And what you do to paint your car. Because that is just insane. No joke that car is spotless. I am in pure shock.

Something I would like to talk about

When I built my Carrera GT I painted brake discs in some metallic color, don't remember which one. Later I came across some better photos of the car and I got this one:

I think that neither not painted PE nor any usual metallic color are the best option for the ceramic brakes of this car. It's something I would like to imitate anytime I do this model again. Any idea about how painting that? Anyway if you paint them looking like that 90% of the people will say "wtf did you do with the discs?"

Sorry RallyRaider, now it looks like I wanted to criticize your build. It's fantastic

cszakolczai - there is plenty of info on how I paint and polish in the progress thread. There's a link to it on the first page of this one.

Cold_Fire - interesting, I've seen plenty of CGT pics with shiny discs and many with dull ones. What you are looking at there might be a ceramic/carbon disk option over standard steel brakes, I seem to recall some other exotics have such a thing. I guess for added realism some kind of weathering should be applied to the brake discs, didn't think of it on this occasion. Thanks for the tip, coulda given it to me during the progress thread before the thing was finished!

Anyway have good weekend guys, I'm off to Melbourne for the Model Expo.

Amazing... I can usually find something with a posted model that tells me it's a model and not a real car, or something that I personally don't like or bugs me, but this model is seriously perfection. I don't think it can be improved at all. Simply awesome.

MidMazar · #43 06-10-2006, 10:33 AM

Flawless

subyfanatic · #44 06-10-2006, 03:39 PM

The paint finish is extremely fine, I love it.

auw12 · #45 06-11-2006, 02:49 PM

i just can't pull my eyes out of the pics.i've saw some of your works and found they always have super clear windows,i wonder if you applied clear coat on the windows and polished them?
