Mica Blue Aristo Completed........

[mike united]

Posted a picture showing the body the day i'd painted this and that was it as i dont like doing progress threads too much. Here it is though fully completed. The only thing that pissed me off with this kit was the fact that the main headlights didn't fit, they were way too big.
The pix aren't of the best quality, the sky's black as hell here today.
Later, Mike

Looks fine Mike. Despite the problems you had. You must have been very patient in ironing them out. Very shiney, as usual.
Let me know about those wheels. OK?

[Hiroboy]

Superb work, love the wheels and the colour

[Vric]

Hey Mike!
Nice one, you keep spitting out new builds in such a pace that my building speed is reduced to something not even worthy a snail! Looks great BTW, I'm currently making slow progress on 5-6 cars and a bike. We have had quite good weather here in Stockholm today, maybe you should have been at my place taking your photos If I should give you some critics it would be on the (in my opinion) to dark accent color between the body panels, my suggestion is to use thinned Tamiya smoke and just let it flow in by it self from a fine point brush. Any spills is easily removed with a moist soft rag or a q-tip. Otherwise it looks smashing!

Cheers!

Cheers for that Niclas, looking at the pictures again now i can see what you mean about the panel lines. You know that "ugliness" around the panel lines isn't actually visible when the car is here in front of me, its my damn camera showing my flaws !?!
thanks, Mike
Oh and ive a couple of projects going on here too Niclas so stay tuned !

Fantastic work man. I love the contrast between the main color, wheel color and the gold brake calipers.. looks dead on! Something I would like to build/drive!

Hey, I know what you mean with the camera showing off things that can hardly be seen with the naked eye. I don't know how many times I've stared on a project 'til my eyes shut down, only to find flaws on the photo I haven't seen before. It's a drag, but you could always turn it into something good and eyeball everything through the camera before putting it on the shelf.

Cheers!
