Little projects update. (pic heavy)
I have got a lot of projects coming into different stages of modeling now, so I thought I gave a little overview, it surely won't hurt anybody
 These are my two "not so original projects"  but I still love them, I am having a ball making the 360 modena, I just couldn't believe how shiny it was; after polishing I didn't even have to go to the bathroom to put on my gel in my hair, I could see myself in the paintwork. Not bad for first time polishing work ! Also the 206 is in last stage, assembly and detailing and decaling. chassis, interior and glueing is done. Third (and fourth...  project is the Alpine.Let me explain; I have two of them... ok, clear now. Well, painted Chrome yellow, polished, nice deep shine, and in final stage of completion. Check it out   The second alpine, sadly was painted Humbrol enamel, tried to sand and re-paint acrilic, but it had a bad reaction, so that bodywork will be on hold, untill I decide to get my mazy ass up and go to the hobbyshop... At the fifth place, there's the alfa GTV WRC (more info try search button) still trying to make the body wider and smoother, but really  slow progress... But have figured out which elements to use in engine and suspension, so basic work is done. Up next, we have the more original Honda SM-X. Bought this kit, because I wondered why someone would buy suchj an horrible car. So I looked at it, and I felt sorry for the car, Thought I would make it a nice kit, so it could be appreciated in its full glory:bandit: .  painted first black and then a few coats telefonica blue. It doesn't show well in the pics, but it's super-shiny, and super dark colour. A nice car.  nice and dark  nice and light ;-)  or just a nice car.  I have forgotten a few projects, like the Loctite Zexel, or the Ford Focus, but has been done 1000 times here, so not interesting. Mobil one Nsx and 1/24th Yamaha, will be done very soon, so stay put. here's a main overview of the projects to be done dobedobedooo scooobeedobeedoo sorry, got carried away...  next projects I m gonna start, when I get done with these (approx one month) are the 80's projects... a Lamborghini (fujimi enthusiast)500s ps anyone built one of these?  The ferrari F40 (Tamiya) The Jaguar Xjs Cabriolet (Hasegawa) and a few more, what do you suggest, that is typically 80's style, and more or less exotic?? Well, thanks for peaking and for leaving your illuminous comments here. Stressed Olivier (who just took a half hour break from writing a paper about journalism) Please keep in mind that these pics are just Works in progress and do not represent atcual finished models quality...... also pics were taken inside, so shinyness is not so good .. well..

As a kit, it has a nice engine, that can be detailed very well if you put your time in it, and not that difficult to build, not that much pieces, and you 'll be glad you've bought a semi-gloss black can when building it.
To summarise, a nice kit, with engine, quite small compared to the other model cars (but so is the real car also) and a joy to build. If you take your time, you're guaranteed of a great result. Olivier

Hey, thanks a lot for all of your positive comments!
I will try to make them as soon as possible and keep you updated! And, ,to answer your question, I only use Tamiya Primer (gray) and Tamiya paint. Only my f"é'ed up Alpine was done using Humbrol. Last time I ever used one of those ! Once again, a lot of thanks, guys! Olivier

Very nice mass production, don't you ever put the wrong brake discs or the wrong windows on the wrong car??
Looking forward to seeing those beauties finished. Have fun building Jan
