F12 Berlinetta

[cjsbosox]

After some research I decided to work on an F12. Figured I would get away from red and black combo, so I chose a yellow/blue combo. I will drop the stance, chnage the wheels, add CF and try to make working doors (remmeber I said try). I ordered hobby design's PE and scale finishes paint.

I was hoping to work it as a double wip, but my buddy is flooded with work.

I started by following Exotics Builder's suggestion of using 458 sets


and removing molded pedals


Wheel choice











Interior colors. I will use velvet paper for upholstery


See ya soon...

Thank you sir. Here are some more

I worked on the front bumper lip....



Had to bring in the suspension to fit wheels in


The 2 blue tones are close. I didn't want a huge contrast. I'm also going to apply a wash to bring out the lines




Here's the velvet paper I talked about. After making templates I cut pieces out

Soak them in water so the paper backing peels off

You can see the thickness difference.

Now apply to area...






That's all for now...

Ohhh cold shoulder haha. I forgot to metion that I'm using hobby design's pe set, which is pretty nice. Anyway here's a quick update.

Heres how the velvet paper looks. Any gaps can be hit with flat paint without a problem




I got some CF work done and shot it with 2k clear. I can't say it enough. Studio27 decals are amazing




I wanted to mimic yellow stitching...and failed. My wife made fun of my paint lines


The dash of course


Added rails though I'm sure they are not accurate :/


The PE includes a nice door trim piece. I used aluminum mesh to replicate what I believe are speakers. I love 2k clear



Engine detail is nice.



Up next is body painting time!


I'm sorry to be skipping around so much, but I lost some pictures and/or forgot to take some at times.

Comments/thoughts are more than welcomed. 'Til next time...
