discussion Revell 1/24 Ferrari Enzo

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Colin, get silk cut. I thing Benson's are gold.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Got the interior finished today. The seats ended up a slightly different shade to each other, not sure why??

Also glued the front end of the body on and got it sanded flush.

Cheers. I guess you can polish a turd. :smiling3:

Bob as a mate of mine said you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter :smiling3:

No one carries a passenger in an Enzo, too much extra weight. You're recreating the realism :smiling5:

 

[Mr Bowcat]

You know Andy, I was thinking that. Driver's seat will be more worn so a bit duller and darker.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

More progress today.

Got the front end finished and had a test fit of the body.

Everything seemed to fit more or less nicely so off came the body again and into primer. It looks so nice in matt black, but I am going to give it a top coat.

[Guest]

Looks the business.

Quite like the matt black myself too.

 

[Mini Me]

I presume that top coat will be the immortal Ferrari Red that we have all grown accustomed over the years. Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi Rick, absolutely not!

I'm currently torn between metallic grey or titanium silver. Or maybe gun metal. Or metallic blue.

Definitely not red.

 

[Guest]

Ferrari do a lovely pearl yellow.

Not for everyone, but as the owner of a bright yellow Audi S4 I'm a bit biased towards the colour lol.

 

[Guest]

Just the dogs mate.

 

[colin m]

I thing Benson's are gold

I'll save that for a McLaren.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers John.

It looked so good in matte black, maybe gun metal. PaulE

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Paul.

I'm going to do a test spray of the various metallics I have on some styrene sheet before I fully commit.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Evening all.

Got some bench time tonight so I masked up the body and sprayed it gloss black as an undercoat for the metallic top coat (colour still to be decided). In retrospect I should have used a gloss black primer instead of matt, lesson learned for next time.

I also painted up and black washed the brake disks and radiators.

That's kinda cool right there. PaulF

Looking really smart Bob

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

Hoping to get the wheels finished tonight, I'm doing them with C1 metalizer which I'm hoping should look quite good.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Wheels.
