I wanted to get a color similar to red wine
But I is very easy, if I have to do it again I would start adding three drops of royal blue and a little one of brown to a small bottle of dark red (1/4 FL.OZ) and go from there.

For the leather finish a coat of semigloss clear (6:4 - glosscote:dullcote) will do the trick.

That really was a great build Ramon. I think that is my favorite. The doors shut so tight you could not tell if they opened or not.

P.S. Greg from Model Cars Magazine says he wants me to write an article
on Ferrari Expo 2010. If you have any pictures you would like me to submit of your 599 please sent them to my email.

Thank you everybody for your nice comments!

Tom: In regards of the pics, sure!, I still need to take the “finished model” pictures and this reminds me to do it, so I’ll do it tonight to send them to you as soon as possible.

Hi Ramon,

Why don't you unlock your Ferrari 599 GTB Hamann photo album on Fotki ?

I think we would all appreciate to follow the Work in progress.

Keep on the good work

Thanks

Thank you Gilles

In the Fotki album there are only pictures, no explanatory text (will be added latter) but if you want to see the complete WIP with the pics and text go here...

Anyway, if you want to see the pictures only, the password is: fiorano
Since the WIP in AF is finished, I will remove the password, but will do it latter (firewall doesn’t let me get to Fotki from the office)
