Aston Martin DBS (Rastar 1/10)

[Ermiloff]

Experiment with painting something big (after the 24th scale). But just repainting over time has turned ... into something more.

 

As it turned out, even a perfect painting doesn’t matter on a child's toy because of the primitiveness of this toy, we had to gradually fix everything as much as possible, risking to spoil the painted body (especially cutting out holes and thinning the hood and trunk). Unfortunately, further modification of the wheel arches and doors on this model is impossible, since it is painted, and therefore it does not make sense to change the humpback glazing. But still, the experiment in version 1.2 can be considered successful, albeit with a stretch.

 

Version 1.0
Repainted body. Added nets, door locks, seat belts with locks and fasteners in the cabin, modified headlights, their glazing and exhaust nozzles, adjusted suspension. Floor and ceiling covering added, turn signals simulated. Improved interior, added pictures of devices.

Version 1.1
Cut out the necessary holes in the body and installed the mesh and a new grille. Added radiators and air ducts. Modified aerodynamic elements of the bottom of the body and painted. The glazing is cut and installed flush with the roof. Thinned hood and trunk. Fully replaced wipers. Nipples were added, brakes were altered, discs were varnished. Installed magnets in the door.

Version 1.2
Replaced brake discs and rebuilt their mount. Upgraded front suspension for the correct rotation of the wheels and their deviations. Removed internal toy ribs of rims. Replaced all grids with more realistic ones and added missing ones. Added exhaust pipes inside the exhaust nozzles. Removed the latest fasteners from the glazing of the front headlights and added leveling seals glass for flush with the body(Удалены последние элементы крепления с остекления передних фар и добавлены уплотнители выравнивающие стёкла вровень с кузовом.). Added glass in the door and completely replaced the rear side windows, their mounting and ... design. Extra items from the bottom are deleted so that they do not stick out (fixing the bottom and the consequence of the radio control design).

Version 1.2a
Modified tires.

That is simply amazing, it really does look real, it's amazing it came from an RC car to, that colour too 😍

I'd like to see some WIP topics. The final pieces are outstanding models, but there are only a few hints how you got there. It would be most interesting to see how you build one of your models from start to finish. Probably much to learn in there for all of us.

So hard to tell from the real car. Amazing!

Outstanding realism! If I wasn't on a modeling site it would never have occurred to me that this might be a model.
