Awesome and imaginative build!

For some inexplicable reason, I really love those Kamaz trucks and you have made a wonderful representation of one!

Looking great Johnny! I love the brake disks and sprockets, the washes have really worked nicely. Ian

No, you're beyond help! Lovely work though! Ian

Nice modelling. Good that kit is not my scale. no need to get it .

Only just seen this Trevor - another excellent build off your bench, beautifully finished as per usual standard and with some great modifications and scratchbuilding! Have to say though I don't think the camera gear does much for the aesthetics of the lovely 917....!! Great work all round! Keith

Looking forward to this!

Marvellous model detailing 👍🏻 Best wishes Stick

Those lights are looking really good! Keith

Yep that is indeed crazy, absolutely nuts in fact - but with an absolutely brilliant result!! Sorry, but I can't think of anything crazier for you to do!! Best wishes for the op.. Keith

Thanks mate.

Thanks I got mine from Spotmodel in Spain and I got the Zero acid yellow paint from Hiroboy in the UK Ian 😀

Do you have anywhere where you could use a spray can - even if outside on a calm day (although one of those may be difficult to find this summer!) When I started car modelling I used to brush paint and was never happy with the finish, when I started using spray cans it made a whole world of difference. Now I'm really lucky to have a permanent model room where I can airbrush all year round, but still use spray cans now and again. If you do have to stay with brush painting, what I eventually found gave me the best finish I could get was to give the car 4 or 5 thin coats, leave it to dry properly (usually a week or more) then wet sand it down with micromesh down to 12000 grit and then polish it - in those days I only knew of full size car polish, now I'd use all 3 Tamiya compounds.

Sorry, I didn't see that you'd used it on the yellow one, I seem to have stopped getting notifications of your updates for a while. But yes, pink works well under red - I read somewhere it is actually what Ferrari use (used?). But tbh I've also used both white and yellow primers under red paint and they work well too. Keith

Nice job, and where to buy this decals? thanks

I can only dream of a world where Ferrari forces me to do anything more than drool and wish I’d applied myself more when I was younger!

I’m a bit out of the loop- it looked very up to date, but having googled it, it would have been a series II. I thought it looked marvellous in any case!

Exige Series III? The one with supercharged Camry V6? Oh that is my dream Lotus. Especially in Liquid Yellow. Also, I agree with the Roma. That thing in Grigio Silverstone (dark metallic grey) or Grigio Ingrid (champagne-y kind of light grey) is stunning. To me with Roma it feels like Ferrari wants to go back to their simpler, elegant route. I despise the interior though, the touchscreen and instrument screen lags and all the capacitive touch-button stuffs Ferrari has been forcing us since SF90 and Roma irritates me a lot. Also also just to annoy everyone, if you ever see a two-tone i8 from the back you'll notice it looked as if it's giving birth to a 991.1-gen Porsche 911.

Thank you Andy. I try to get a realistic effect. For this, maybe the bumpers finally will be a little more shiny, (...as it happen in real life) Many thanks Keith!

Thank you Stik!

Thanks Keith, I used pink paint on the Yellow car. Should I do that on the Red one as well ?"

Thanks a lot! Your neighbour has good taste in cars and colours 😎

Thank you very much gentlemen! I'm happy to say that it is the restored green #9 car that is my main inspiration in this build, and it will be done in some kind of green too. I have been thinking something similar to the #9 car, which feels more modern to me, but the Dunlop R5 tyres I have drawn are from the current catalogue of allowed historic racing tyres, and also probably not period correct. Now that Laystall green was also a thought, it looks great on the picture... I would like more magnesium grey wheels with bright edges, instead the overall black/painted seen on #9 though. Not sure about the stainless (I think) exhaust, but perhaps. Maybe I should even put a small fire extinguisher centred on the cockpit floor, since I'm probably doing a historic racing car? Oh the questions...

Very nice! A near neighbour has one, in this colour.

The cover edges have been done with a black marker as I think they should be. I’ll be happy with this, if I can only glue them cleanly enough...
