Cheers Scot I think I'm pretty sorted I just wish I had a crap load of time to use up all my goodies
But I hope I can do it some justice seen as everyone will be watching I've not been on here much lately been too busy working and all that other grownup stuff but I'll have a mooch round see what everyone is working on, thanks for,dropping in dude


Dan

Hehe Dan,

Good luck with the 86. It just looks so wrong on steelies!

A little update got the chassis primed and painted stynlrez primer and tamyia flat black

Then got the rear end assembled primed and painted

Then masked off the protection plate thing in tamiya titanium silver painted the discs and got them in place and a test fit of the exhaust

A little clean up around the plate thing at the front but nothing major,got the exhaust painted steel


Till next time happy modeling

Dan

Looking great Dan
All you "never built a car" guys are kicking but on these kits

Well done Dan,

That's looking really neat and tidy and appears to be fitting very nicely

Awesome start Bro, love those discs and driveshafts mate, they look superb.
What ya used on them?... and what you used to strip the chrome off?
Continued success!..

Its me who's never ever built one before Scott, Dan's maybe got one or two finished to date.
I personally don't have a clue where to start, what to strip or what paint to use or which order to build the thing... lol..
I must confess to seriously neglecting all hobby related activities of late.... My get up and go has got up and gone..
I'll try and shake myself and get motivated a little...
All the best guys..

Fire up a pic of your kit Andy and we will gently motivate you in the right direction
I can hardly do any office work I am so stoked to build the darn Bugatti
Seriously,I am loving the challenge of it

I've not had to strip any chrome off yet not much on it and the two or three bits that are chrome are the best quality I've ever seen so might leave those and see how they look later on in the build and all tamiya paints and stynlrez primer and doods get cracking or I might have to come and motivate you
Scott I've done a few cars really like doing them but also like the odd stuff and was just waiting for the right gb if not a car one specific the tamiya one later in the year so I think a few more cars this year seen as I've just got a few more (wink wink) hope you are all well and happy modeling


Dan

Very cool looking car, I like .

Neat start on the kit, will be following this one.

Got a little bit done over the past couple of days it seems time is at a premium these days but still managed to progress a little bit
Got the wheels done now and look OK for plain steel rims



Then came the front wheel arches with lower part of the engine and gearbox

A mock up of the body

Moved on to the tub primed in badger black stynlrez and glossed with Aqua gloss I like the colour of the primer for the interior


Steering wheel was a bit of a pain with all the reference points all little decals

And the dashboard

And the seats had to spray the red because I had a nightmare with the decals


That's all for now


Dan

Wow looking fantastic!

Some fine work on that TRD
Coming along very nicely

Great work Dan

Cheers fellas threw on a coat of yellow stynlrez love the stuff



Dan

Update time after rubbing the primer down a little sprayed tamiya white over the yellow




Then sprayed the black pieces in Vallejo black all glossed in Aqua gloss









Than it was time to start the jigsaw puzzle of the decals



That's all for now happy modeling


Dan

Looking sharp mate

Cheers mate not a patch on your though

Some more was done on the decals was a pain in the(insert appropriate word)




And a test fit on the chassis




Still a load more decals to go on but it's moving along
Thanks for looking happy modeling

Dan

Awesome work Dan! Really nice! Don't sell yourself short, you've produced a great model!

Cheers dude it's been eye watering at times lol


Dan

Anything worth doing well takes a bit of effort
Decal work is spectacular, brings the car to life

Update, yay all the decals are done and windows are in





Then I had to apply some metal foil type mirrors on the doors and rear view



With all that done now only the lights and a few other little bit to do, also been digging about on tinternet and it turns out that this particular car was based on the new Toyota gt86 which in my view is a better looking thing than with all the decals,


So I'll see ya around happy Modeling
Dan

Sweet job
All you guys are nailing these car projects
You made a beautiful thing out of that TRD..... see what I did there
