Carrera GT - on my wish list
« on: June 11, 2015, 12:53:52 PM »
Hi guys

Trying my hand at car modelling agin - this time its the Tamiya 1/24 Porcsche Carrera GT - a kit I bought at Expo on a whim
Painted using Alclad Candy Colbolt Blue over Airframe Aluminium - much the same as the Lambo - but tidier
I screwed up the engine cover decal so decided to tint the windows instead using Alclad Hot Sepia Metal - this stuff sprays beautifully and can be used as a window tint so much better than any other smoke paint I could find













Couple of WIP shots - something I don't normally do when building cars - but this was going together so nicely for once I thought I would take some- Just in case :)









Well, that's it for now. I have made a start on the EC-135 and I'll begin a WIP thread for that one tonight hopefully.

Till then

thanks for looking

WOWW!.. what a job.

Seeing some of the cars on the table this year... this has gotta go in next year.
Terrific work.

Well done Simon.

hehehe - yeah, I bought it on the Monday as well. I'll see how next year goes - I would expect to have done a better build by then :)
