Scuderia Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 No problem, looks like the other side is just as nice keep it up. And Oscar that Rx7 is pretty awesome. That body style always looks mean with some flares and race trim
2whl Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Sweet Mazda, Oscar. If you're like me, you'll have a piece that looks good, so you'll go with it, take a pic, and post it up. Then while looking at your post in the monitor, you'll see all kinds of bad in it. That's what happened with the seat. I didn't like the sanding scuff marks on the front. So I prepped it better and shot the rear half in semi-black. Then I masked that off and shot the front in Tamiya dark grey acrylic. Much happier now. Since the chassis is coming along nicely, it's time to resume work on the engine. The engine tin work was in this semi-transparent plastic, but I didn't like the look, so I sprayed it Tamiya AS-15 Tan. Also got the distributor superglued into place
2whl Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 The spark plug leads were on a rubber like sprue. I was hesitant about it at first because of the strange bends it had, but after bundling it up and getting it to the spark plugs, I'm OK with it.
martinfan5 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Paul, I love seeing your work, but it makes me feel like I am just playing with toys , loving the work so far, cant wait to see more I will be rejoining this one very soon, I think I am going to do one of the Fujimi BMW GT3 kits that I have

Lawrence , here is a link to the kit, just easier , I am lazy This is the one I am thinking about http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ12568/Aut I also have this one, but dont want to deal with the decals on it yet http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ18990/Aut
Scuderia Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 WHOA! Yeah, I can imagine that decal sheet might be intense on that second one.. There was another one in an endurance race that was black with pirelli logos striped on it i think.. I'll try and find a pic. Maybe that'd be an option?

Well, I wont say no, but I dont want any heavy decals one right now
Scuderia Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I don't know how difficult this would be, or if it's available as a separate sheet.
martinfan5 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) That looks nice, I might see if decals have been made Edit- found a decal sheet that is the same livery, but different car number, but not going to happen $30 decal sheet http://www.ebay.com/itm/Decal-1-24-BMW-Z4-GT3-DOERR-2010-11-Spa-Le-Mans-Fujimi-12556-Revell-125565-m3-m5-/221222323070?pt=US_Racing_Fan_Shop&hash=item3381e0c37e Edited July 18, 2013 by martinfan5

martinfan5 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 The engine looks great, did the kit come with all the wiring?
2whl Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Janathan, the kit came with the wiring. And the engine is complete!! Edited July 21, 2013 by 2whl
Scuderia Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 That's so awesome Paul, everything just flows so nicely. Good stuff!!
martinfan5 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Lawrence, his work is even better looking in person
martinfan5 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Up next for me is Fujimi's 2012 BMW Z4 GT3 kit and the P/E set that was included with the kit
sportandmiah Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Other than a pair of missing mirrors, I'm calling this done. 90+ decals is actually a lot of fun.
o-man Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Arnold, that is awesome! You have the patience of a saint for doing all those decals.
