hi all,
here's another martini porsche 1/24 by tamiya an easy build to get me started again in this beautifull hobby fo us....
got stuck on building planes
dit not build cars for a long time!!!
(forgive my crapy english i'm from holland...:screwy:)
when i got the model i was planning to change a few things, like chainging the crappy headlights that i think tamiya should have remodelled like the inside tub where in the old kit the battery's used to be and the crappy way the windows are molded as one piece...:disappoin no! too expansive i guess for a multi million industrie like tamiya:sarcasm1:
anyway after opening the holes and removing the moldlines i placed some plasticard pieces in the front wheelarches i guess they where spacers
now the body can be primed and painted i guess....
did some work on the cockpit area and planning to make a rollcage
also painted the wheels and gave the chrome rims a clearcoat with some black added to it so it wont look like plastic chrome anymore! dont like the matt look, so i used a gloss clearcoat (should have done some before pics:banghead:.... also new to posting)
i did some work on the interieur rollcage etc
finished decaling and laquered it
only thing left is rearlights
untill next time (comments/feedback are welcome)
