Mission completed HIRO DBR9 Gulf

Hi all,
thus i took a lot of your time already by now i'll keep it a bit shorter.
And a lot of you know that one already....
I'm very proud to announce the finish of this project in EVERY way.
I took part in the competition at the German Model Masters held last weekend in Nürnberg and finished gold in my category AND was awarded as "Best of show" in general! I was like shocked in such a positive way you can't even imagine because there were some really great subjects among my DBR9. What a surprise and a joy!!! I was there with some friends and colleagues over the weeekend and we had such a great time.....
THANKS TO EVERYONE OF YOU who gave me support and motivations and critics over the last months, really!!!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed this build and this community A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a "round entrance" as we would say in german (ein runder Auftritt).
So bye for now, i have to think about some ideas of my NEXT PROJECT something quite different .....believe me................i'll be back someday.




ALL THE BEST for all of you
PS: The pictures were taken by Martin Graff, host of the GMM and way better than my efforts and trials. Thanks!!!


Bye
Jochen

Re: Mission completed HIRO DBR9 Gulf

Very well done weathering. You must do alot of military models. You
really made it look real. It takes a brave person to put so much dirt(fake dirt) on such a great looking model. It really payed off.

Stunning! Weathering is an amazing art, very difficult to do, but you did it perfectly! This is the finest example of a race worn car I've seen. Just beautiful!

Excellent job! That´s the best weathering job I have seen in a race car model. You should show here a photo of the real car next to the model to let everybody see the realism of the weathering.
