JeroenS Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hurl abuse? No way! This is a beautiful little car! It's just really pretty. You pulled this off brilliantly in this small scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian T Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 You really shouldn’t worry about abuse, firstly the moderators will step in, but much more importantly, the model is brilliant, wonderful work, I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Another cracker Ian, what a little cutie! Lovely paint job, what colour Tamiya paint is it, looking for something similar for a 1/32 Aari early 911 that I have. Did you clearcoat or is it just polished out? Have a great w/e yourself Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastcat Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi Ian, Great little model and a good choice of colour that really shows it off. Hard to believe it's so tiny. Lovely work. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Thanks all, appreciate the comments... Keith, that's Tamiya TS11 Maroon which I've had unopened for around 20 years or so !. Two coats over grey primer, then rubbed-back with 2000grit wet'n'dry, then two coats of TS13 cut'n polished with Tamiya three-part compounds. Cheers Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It looks absolutely tiny next to the paint pot, but is very well done. Good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks like it's been Photoshopped and I wouldn't blame anybody for thinking that, but I promise it really is that small !! Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billydick Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Really nice. I like the maroon, makes a change from the usual black. I think as well maroon shows off the body shape of the car better. 👍 BillyD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Aero Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 That is superb in Maroon. I'm in awe of your chrome work. I have one of these to build at some time. I only do vehicles in 1:48, mainly modifying diecasts or scratch building.. It's interesting just how many diecasts are in 1:48 scale and not the supposed 1:43, but they're usually spoiled by non scale wheels. I cast my own wheels and other parts.

Getting Old Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 it's tiny, but wonderfully done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Very nicely done and it looks really good in maroon. I've got one of these bad boys in the stash and am just waiting for the opportunity to put it in a diorama with a 109. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
