Demerovingian Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks to my man NYCHARLIE 1962 for getting me really back into modeling and painting my own cars. I'm still getting the hang of painting cars and yeah...I know some of you might laugh...put I still use brushes and spray paint cans. Charlie is going to teach me how to be the Master Painter like him! Here is one of the latest projects, Bandai Bugatti Royale Type 41 Coupe De Ville. I decided to paint it all black instead of the white insert on the rights sides of the hood. The all black just appealed to me better. I drilled out the ignition wires and added a few more custom "looking" engine details and a carpet made from the inside of a glove! Well here they are...
D. Battista Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Very nice Bugatti.....!is that 1/16 scale...?
espo Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Beautiful build. The Black paint looks very smooth. I have used my air brush of and on depending on what part I'm working on. My present project is a '67 El Camino and I painted it today using Tamiya TS-21 Gold straight from the can. Very happy with the finish. I still believe that you can get an excellent paint job from a quality spray paint with a little prep work and polishing afterwards. Your extra effort on the engine detailing really paid off.
cobraman Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Looks to me to be a beautifully built model.
Demerovingian Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Dave...yeah its 1/16 Bandai/Fuman
Kmb0319 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Are you positive this is a model and not some pics you took at an auto museum? This is phenomenal!!! The finish, the engine details, even the wood trays in the back seat.... Really impressive!
caapa Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Wonderfull model, highes level of engine detailing - a really gem ! I saw the original 1:1 in the Technische Museum Wien and I took some pics. Too bad I couldn`t check under the hood.
louie Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Nice job, real nice. I saw a post from NYCHARLIE and what a beautiful car he has too. Wow, I really like the Bugatti. Thank you. Jeff
CometMan Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Very well done Christopher, don't let anyone give you any grief about what techniques work for you!
HotRodaSaurus Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 What was the base kit for this? I have the Italieri Coupe Napoleon model. I always wanted to do a replica of the Schlumpf car after seeing it in the museum.
Eric Macleod Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I think this is exceptionally well done. I think your engine compartment could serve as a reference for the rest of us.
Twokidsnosleep Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Awesome build!!!Now that is a classy car
