N.E.S. Rallye Porsche 911 POKER!!!!

[Romik505]

Gionc:Thanks. It is pleasant to hear from such master as You.
Back glass should be pulled out quickly there.The rubber sealant should be from below.I have made a little not correctly.It was necessary to cut off a rubber sealant from a body.And glass to make it is more on the size.

Hi Gio,
right, you understood what I wanted to point out.

Romik505's Dakar Porsche is trully incredible, what a result.
pictures of the model already are on my hard drive for references !

The dakar version rear window has nothing to deal with the road or rally version, because it isn't really a window anymore as it can be put on and off as a rally hood with fasteners on each corner.

Yes yes sure, I was collecting infos.... may be useful now or then

A couple steps more on the Esso SC. When everithing looked me right in primer (that obviously meant dozens passes of filler , sandpaper and primer, like ever..) I started to think at the fender'd edges and rivets.



And with edges installed (0.6 mm diam. stirene rod, filled and carefully sanded)





Than I finished a bit the edges, primered, and played with drill:





In last two I tried some 964 3.8 RSR tyers on 16" rims: tyres looks good so far, I think this is the perfect size, with a bigger "shoulder" (wall) and 15" Gottis

Done something!

Final white layer (white Zero) over... million layers of grey.. putty... grey ...puttt...







TS8 by freehand..







I sanded it between coat with 6000 grit mesh, wet. Same after last coat.

Mask job: notice my usual "sandwitch" of 3M tape+ Tamy tape







TS Tamy color are great but transparent: it would switch the blue to a kind maroon (muuuuch yellow in the red) so I carefully sprayed one good hand of Zero white: unfortunately you wouldn't sand down it before spray the blue.



The blue is a kind mix of TS44 (60% approx) and TS15 (40%), it would seem rich and achieve those kind Magenta reflex. TS44 by its own looks much Turkey and flat (a bit yellowish reflex)





There is still a small "step" bettween colors:



Also cool to see aside the sanded red and the new blue.





Unfortunately the macro show a line beetween the two colors that you can't see zooming in or by naked eyes: it is just light that run on those small "step" I mentioned (like happen on body panels like doors)





Done some job also for the rims, it dress Gotti' stuff:

Great work on those Porsche's Gio. I very much like your work on transforming the body's. Next to the 917 I'm building I'm working on a Fujimi 911S (bought on Ebay) and transforming it into a 911 S/T. I follow your outstanding job on modifying these great Porsches.

Fantastic work. I had to start from page 1 and slowly work my way thru as I missed this somehow. I can't believe all the the work you've put into this. Of course we cant see from the pictures the countless hours of sanding and prepwork and research, so hats off to you. I am especially impressed how you did the flares with the tubing and perfectly placed rivet holes. Great job.

[gionc]

Thanks guys, I appreciated. Daniel: 3D rapid proto are done by a service, I just designed 3D datas.

Ok guys I'm ready for decals: I sanded down the "step" between colors until grit 6K, got some white in the blue areas, re-masked and sprayed blue, day after I re masked for last time and exposed few red areas where the color went out lighter. This is the result before the decals application: I'm wondering how cut out most of the carrier film since I would like avoid the transparent in this model, just like on late '70 racing cars.









This is just a quick rough polishing job with grit 6000 and fine Tamy's compound, a fine job would follow the decal job, with all the goodies we are used to smell

[turbothirtytwo]

nice job. you can still clearcoat and protect decals, sand it and polish but not in mirror standard. I think it can work. or you want to achieve that logos will raise abit?

[lovegt40]

good job so far.
imho a light gloss over decals will protect theme for the future...think about that.

[godfather23]

That is a great paint and polishing job. I follow with interest since I have the decalset as well. I really like to see this one finished! Keep up the great work.

Remarkable blue and red colour! After pictures there will be a transparent varnish coat? I have correctly understood?
If it so, shine of a body very big.I some times got to a bad story after painting of black elements of furnish of a body.The layer of a transparent varnish separated together with a camouflage tape.It was with paints TS.
Now I always clean shine completely a soft abrasive 2000 before drawing of pictures.
