I masked off the window trims and sprayed them flat black. Even with masking I managed to get a bit of overspray so had to do a couple of small touch ups with the blue. I then bit the bullet and sprayed the clear varnish - I must say this vallejo premium sprays really really well straight out...- M477

Body colour paint arrived a few days ago. I noticed when cleaning the body off for spraying that the front wings needed a bit of filling from where I'd removed the moulded indicators from the wings. I filled, sanded and only after a coat of blue was it apparent that I'd over sanded one side and...- M477

Before the body gets painted I almost forgot that the wheel arches need cutting/modifying to accommodate the ridiculously low stance this car has. Test fitted the arches and marked with a pencil before attacking with the dremel and a sanding wheel attachment. The finished cuts, can tidy them...- M477

And final update for today, let the interior bits dry and then decided to make a carpet out of some self adhesive grip tape I had lying around (basically coarse grit sandpaper but sticky backed). Also glued the seat runners and seats in. I'm undecided on the parcel shelf carpet so I've left the...- M477

Pictures of the chassis, flat black interior: I note the floor in general is rough, like unfinished/moulded and there are holes/slots cutout in the footwells (I assume for wiring for the RC parts once upon a time) so going to add a bit of sandpaper cut to size as a floor, just to cover it up...- M477

Bit of an update, got most if not all of the parts cut from their sprues and organised into colour buckets for spraying, fairly simple for this build; black, body colour and metallic. The roll cage is yellow so thats on its own! I primered the body and bumpers after a bit of sanding just to...- M477

Heres a few photos of the progress... starting with the weird battery holder: Followed by the weird spring (there must have been a motor that sat on top as you assemble a hinged plate so it would have had rudimentary rear suspension): The scale of the front seat compared to the rear just looks...- M477

Tamiya 1/24 R34 Skyline GTR
Hi All! Some progress photos in my other thread but heres the final article. Standard Tamiya 1/24 kit, first time airbrushing with Vallejo air paints so definitely a learning curve. Wheel position modified to give it a bit of stance and custom seatbelts made from craft ribbon and some zip tie...- M477

Purple GTR - The Flying Obergine!
So here it is (minus plates). I definitely learned from a few mistakes on this build, but first time airbrushing was a great test case for the next one. 1. Airbrushing the bodyshell with water based metallic acrylic mix was never going to be smooth and certainly not give me that polished gloss...- M477

Purple GTR - The Flying Obergine!
Made good progress over the weekend, just got a couple of finishing touches and I' add it to the completed models section. Finished the underside and weathered the exhaust: Went for matte black on the spoiler (that thin fin at the top was a nightmare to get to stick in place!): Left the lower...- M477

Airbrush paint recommendations 1/24 cars
Hi All, Looking for some suggestions as I'm getting back into the hobby - new to airbrushing and looking for that shiny gloss finish that can be polished etc. for a nice shine. Just sprayed a couple of tamiya shells using vallejo colours and clear but its too thin to sand back (I pretty much...- M477

Hi from Scotland!
Hi All, Ive been modelling miniatures for many years for wargaming etc and have dabbled from time to time in 1/24 scale cars (Tamiya, Revell, etc). Recently got into the scale cars again and bought myself an airbrush to help kick start the hobby again. Looking forwards to being part of the...- M477
