WIP - Motorsports>Toyota Gt-One

After the Porsche its time for something else... The Tamiya Toyota Gt-One. Always loved the body and color combo. Got some zero white and red laying around that would be perfect for this build :-)... Planning on adding some extra detail, Pe seatbelt, some wires on the engine, will see how far will go. Anyway, enough talking, pics:

(had to ask permission on the furrball to bild this one :-))

Cant wait to get some paint on that body...

Greetings,

It's weekend so had some time to build on the toyota...
Tires sanded (macro seems a bit overdone but in real they are perfect):

Added som tire markings. Normally there should be michelin transfers on the tires but since i only have a bridgestone template for aibrush i've used this one. On the car should be decals for michelin but i have some bridgestone decals laying around in the spare parts box :-)
Also first time that i painted brakedics metallic blue:

Image

Image

Engine time... Once in place there will be added extra wires.
Tamiya chrome didnt show visible flaws so i left them as they were. Pic shows original part and weathered part:

The tires look realistic and you also did a nice job on the engine.:-)

Excellent progress on this build. Your detail painting and weathering is well done. The red wires on top of the engine, are they painted or did you add them? :-)

They are painted... :-) They are molded in to the chrome part.

I'm pretty sure on one side is blue and on the other one is red, that's why I asked.

I'll have to take care not to follow the instructions when I'll build mine. :-)

Wow, you seem to have a lot of free time on your hands. No, I am not jealous...:-):-):-)

Your build seems to progress very well.
I like the tires very much. They look very convincing. As does the engine. Great paintjob there.

Oh. And a beautiful cat you have:-). I don't let our cats come close to any of my models though...
