Slowly my car is starting to look like something.
I once painted the monocoque, but it looks like (think very nasty words here) so I won't show that.
What did work was the rear suspension. It is now fitted to the engine.

Ah, looking good. What paint do you use for your exhaust manifolds?

 

[Dr. Bob]

It was already chromed in the kit.

Looks good, can't wait to see the end result!

It was already chromed in the kit.

Ah. :wink:

Looks cool - who's the kit made by?

 

[Dr. Bob]

The kit is from Tamiya. They make the best kits at the moment. They cost quite a lot (up to 50 euro here) but they are absolute quality. Where other marques have problems with good fitting, Tamiya is spot on.

The monocoque looks good too now. A few thing have to be painted of it, then the engine and the interiour can be hang into it. Will make pics of the process and post them here.

Right - I just bought a 348ts kit by Testors, on e-bay.

All I need to do now is get around to building it!! Bearing in mind we've just moved house, and there are a million and one jobs to do, that may be a while!!

Can't wait to see more of the "enzo evolution"

You having a good time, Dr Bob.

I used to love doing it, but don't have the time now.

Well, I do it a week, and then it goes onto the shelfs again. It always stucks at the spraing. My models attract a lot of dust, so they never look good then. I have 2 models lying that only have to be painted. I have to find a way to finisch them, because they are quite good. My Enzo is better, but that is because I get better at every model. This is only my fourth by myself. I did a Lotus super seven (it sucked, due to me) I got a F40 (Red/Red) and a 360 Spider F1 (Black/Tan) lying around, that only have to be painted, those look quite good. The Enzo is better. After this I have a F1 car, and then I want to start a conversion to a racemodel of the 360 or the 550.

Ah, looking good!

Sounds like some ambitious projects you've got.

Once summer rolls around, I think I'll be able to get to model building again. School has really siphoned my time away from any liesure activities.

Question: are you using an airbrush extensively? I've got the same model kit, and I stopped after painting and assembling the engine because I figured that I should look into an airbrush before continuing with some of the larger parts in the model (i.e. seats, monocoque, etc).

 

[toco004]

The Seats and the Dash look very good & shiny

 

[Dr. Bob]

No, I do everything without a spayer, except the body itself. But I'm really not that good at it, so that is why there are still 2 models that only have to be sprayed.

 

[toco004]

what modle is it?

 

[Dr. Bob]

It is a Enzo from Tamiya 1:24
