Hi guys this is a topic about TOYOTA TS020 GT-ONE in progress.

I HAVE SOME P-R-O-B-L-E-M-S WITH THIS CAR.

yes, this car nearly drove me mad...at the first time I bought this car from my local hobby shop, I paint this one like this below.

after that I don't know why I really DON'T know why I just washed the paints away..( I've already done the clearcoat)

Unluckily, this parts dead in my sewer. This is a unique part, so no idea how to copy one the only choice I had is to buy a new one.

so I bought a whole new one. I bought the decals for 1998 version and I painted the body and did the decals then it became like this:

although I didn't put any primer on it so the red(TS-49) looks so bright...I have to admit that I'm not that satisfied with this color that moment.

what to do next is paint some clear coat! but I didn't realized that I painted too much coat at one time and you know that happened...My decals just got a whole mess...

but this was really helpful to me:rolleyes: it helped me deal with another idle body

so I bought another decal sheet and finally I paid special attention while doing the clear work

and FINALLY it became like this below

this time I put on the primer(light gray), so the red looks darker but full of uh don't know how to express though.

the front light, I just hand painted some MR.HOBBY MC211 chrome sliver on it back and X-27 clear orange in the surface. looks good IMO.

 

but the story never ends like this and just few minutes ago I found my wheels both front wheels all of them:rolleyes:

BUT IT WILL BE FINE CAUSE  I HAVE ANOTHER ONE....:rolleyes:

Your definitely not alone when it comes to losing parts to the sewer monster. My cat used to collect my model parts too. Took me a while to figure out where the parts where disappearing to but she could only hide so many in her little bed. Anyhow I think you're doing a great job and keep up the good work.       Jeff
