Sauber C30 Part 7
Body is painted with a first layer of Mr Super Clear to protect the Tamiya acrylic paint.
I started with Metallic Grey and added gloss black to darken to the right color.
The included masking templates are great and easy to use but we will see after I apply the red stripe how close I got to the right positioning!
Again the kit will be displayed with the nosecone and engine cowling off so I'm also trying to figure out how to build the stands they use on the car.
The last picture you can see I decided to build out the cockpit a bit more based on a picture I found this weekend. Next are the decals and working on the nose section that will be exposed.

Sauber C30 Part 6
Here is the left side radiator with all the bits added.
There will some additional plumbing added and the face polished with Chrome Powder.
The next bit of scratchbuilding will be the front of the suspension area.
This weekend I will paint the body and begin the decal process.

Sauber C30 Part 5
The cockpit has been cleaned and painted followed by Carbon Fiber Decals.
I'm going to display the car as being built prior to the first practice of a race.
There will be some wires and plumbing attached and some missing along with a engine block attached with no transmission.
Not many photos the C30 "naked" so I am using other cars as my guide.
Top Studio electronic connectors are used on the radiators.
The Electronics are pieces of a spare military kit sanded and shaped.
Foil will be used to create the mounting straps for each piece and a Chrome polish used on the radiator faces.

Thanks to IKEA I have a new display case for my some of my kits.
You can also see the updated MP4/25 here with decals on.
The case is smaller than I thought so I may need another one!

Porsche 911 GT3R Part 1
Painting as the Brumos Porsche from 2011 VIR.
I took my son to this race and we sat in the rain and got some great shots of this car in the end.
My son got to meet Wayne and Ricky Taylor and they let him sit in the car!
MP4-25 Part 1
Started with Tamiya primer followed by mist coats of black followed by Alclad Chrome in very light coats. Very impressed with the results.
Here is the first light coat of Chrome.
With Clear applied:
