Tamiya RX-7 and S2000
this is my girlfriends (S2000) and my (RX-7) projects. this is her first model ever and my second one, but due to my non painting body skills my first model (Tamiya 350Z) was scrapped
 (anyone wanna donate a body  ). anyway we both started these last night so they need a couple of more coats. does anyone know why the S2's color looks like a championship white and not the color of Tamiya's Racing White TS-07.P.S.-she painted both of the bodies. and my color is Tamiya's Gun Metal TS-38 [IMG]  [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG]

Re: Tamiya RX-7 and S2000
dunno. but your fd looks like it needs some underside paint on the back bumper. the racing white is more creamy, so I would think it needs more coats?? I'm not sure, never used it, but they look great, best of luck to the both of you.

Re: Tamiya RX-7 and S2000
Tamiya's Racing White TS-07 is not a pure white: it was made to be painted on 60-70's race cars (like Tamiya Honda F1- don't remember the name....). It's a kind of white that tends to beige...
It's a "retro" color that suits very well the S2K, I feel. It reminds us many roadsters in the sixties had this color!.... Good choice! Good to see a "couple project" too! I'd like to know something: in real life, would you say you're a "round" guy, and your girlfriend is a little "sharper"? (I don't mean physically speaking, of course!...) Don't need to answer this question! lol!

Re: Tamiya RX-7 and S2000
"Do your choices tell who you are?" That's what I meant... And "lol" because I'm stupid thinking about things like that! lol!
You're lucky your girlfriend does more than understand your modeling activities!

Your spraying technique
I don't prefer soda cans to hold my models, I use clothes hangers and bend them to fit the interior of the model; that way, you can turn the model anyway you want including upside down. Tell me if your confused, i'll send you a picture!
