majel Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 After almost a year this car is finally finished! Not going to do a huge picture dump because I posted a lot of in progress pictures under WIP. This is the Tamiya 1/12th scale Vaillant Porsche 934 painted with Tamiya Cobalt Green and cleared with Tamiya TS-13. This is the first 1/12 scale I have attempted, it is a great model kit and a great scale. I found that you can do an awful lot of detailing, but every mistake that you make is magnified and much easier to see. If you would like to see more detail check out the WIP section, and thank you to everyone who has followed along and commented.
Bruce Scully Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 A super nice build , looks awesome , lots of great detail work .
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Long time 911 enthusiast here............You nailed it. Fantastic car and equal the photography.
Pierre Rivard Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Congratulations Jim. All the hard work paid off. I followed your w.i.p. and could not believe how good that stuff was. The detailing and finishes make this model look like it is the real 1/1 car. Amazing build!
maysula Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Like this alot! You spent much time on all your detailing, you must be proud ? Good Work !!
PatW Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Wow Superb work! I have a Tamiya Porsche 910 on the shelf, 1 I'm terrified of the detail, 2 I don't have cabinet space once it's finished. Having space only for Ikea Billy Bookcases with glass doors the shelves are OK for 1/24 or 1/25 and small planes 1/12th is just too big!
happy grumpy Posted November 2, 2022 Posted November 2, 2022 Fantastic on all counts. The 911 is IMO the best looking Porsche. Your model does it justice. All those details are a joy to look at. Thanks for sharing.
majel Posted November 3, 2022 Author Posted November 3, 2022 Thank you guys! This is the most detail i have attempted in a model. I learned an awful lot with this build, I'm happy with the results and i really appreciate everyone who followed along for the ride.
majel Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 I realized I had forgotten to include pictures of everything open. I was very impressed of how well the doors fit when closed, they don't sag or try to open on their own.
DanL Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 These are great cars... I like the Jagermiester livery as well. Super build with wonderful detail Cheers Dan
