1/43 code 3 I have done
Posted by DubZeus on Thursday, January 17, 2013 5:42 PM

Ok so I'm pretty new at this model making malarkey, I have made a few code 3's. They may not be difficult but everyone has to start somewhere.

Here's a few pics

You may be "pretty new" but those are some good looking cars you've done there! As long as you're having fun, and you can also take pride in sharing what you've done. I've enjoyed them.Cool

Being new has nothing to do with it. Those cars look pretty good to me. You put in the time and effort and you turned out sharp cars. If they are an example of what you can do now, you're going to turn out some great ones as time goes on. Yes

Great job on an interesting collection. How well did the decals work on the first car? There's a lot of curves for them to lay over.

I agree, Glenn. Zeus, compound curves like that are a huge pain. Did you have to do anything special to get the decals to lay flat?

Thanks all, I been abit ill but I'm back. The curves were a real pain, especially the carisma towards the rear. I used loads of micro sol on that one plus about 3 decal sheets as they cracked up. The result was worth it.

Another I have partly done here, it was already a belga car I had spare so i converted to another event old starter decals that cracked again:

Hey Dub and welcome!   I'm not a big auto builder, but those are some sweet cars you built!  Some really great work on the decals!  I look forward to your other builds!  Thanks for posting the awesome autos!
