studio 27 BMW Sauber f106

So I was doing my Ebbro lotus 72e. Then winter decided to come back so painting is on hold for a few days. So I figured why not try a resin kit. I got lucky and picked up 2 studio 27 kits for 200 at local hobbystore. the other is Ferrari F2007. I have never done a resin kit, so here goes nothing.

here some progress cleaned up some panel line drilled holes and cleaned white metal. the test fit some pieces. So far I am satisfied with kit still cant understand why they are so expensive.

Resin and metal is always expensive,still there are bargains to be had if you look hard.if it had a detailed engine it would have cost a lot lot more.I have yet to get one but wouldnt mind trying one out to see what they are like.I am taking ages just on a mfh transkit.

will be interesting to see how you go.

sres what I got done tonight. remember this is my first resin /multimedia kit. So if you know of easier ways of doing something please let me know. And if you have used scale finishes paints let me know think of get some for this build.
so I used 5 min epoxy to attach white medal parts and as a putty around the parts.

Since it is snowing today going to work on this most of the day. So should update a few times today. I got the wings going the rear was a pain wish it had screws like the front for alignment.

Very nice work. This is an interesting car, I like the simple scheme that shows off the car details.

Thanks
Here is where I am at. I put Tamiya liquid surface primer on, to get rid of scratches. Seems to level nice after it dries ill start the sanding process.

[ferrarijoe]

So I sanded the Tamiya liquid primer and the body was pretty smooth.



And then I brake off a side wing. I was worried because the don't seem to strong, nothing for the epoxy to grab. So I filed a grove in it and drilled a hole thru the body. Then I took 26 gauge wire and put it thru the body and bent it down in to the grove. Hope it holds now.

Seems a shame that these get painted

Looking real good so far and nice to see this F1 car being built.

[ferrarijoe]

Today finally got some primer on the sauber. Then another sanding session and some Tamiya liquid putty on flaws. Hoping to get another primer coat tonight and hopefully start color tomorrow.

[bradfordian]

Lookd like u aint wasting your time.

I am kind of a impatience person my average build is a couple days. I need to slow down and work on technique so I can produce a better model. so cars primed and painted the black parts. So a final sand on the primer and then color. I found some paint called wicked colors by create for airbrush so I am going to give them a try.
