[le66]

Well,some new pics and some good news:

I' can't find the black color in professional paint cause I find the same in TAMIYA bomb (TS-14 gloss black) and for thes silver strips,I find another bomb TAMIYA (TS-30 silver leaf)...

So,the pics now:

I've a SRT-10 Burago 1/18 and I dismounted the set of wheels and discs of brakes,it's one of the options for the GTS:

I clean all the body with the thinner of professional cleaning before the first surfacer (TAMYA bomb FINE SURFACER PRIMER white)

 

[le66]

To apply the surfacer, I put a temperature of 20° in the part or I work:

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics,when the weather allows it,I take some pics with the sun!! And when the body will be dry...

For instance,the paint is good,she's very nice all on the body,not a lot of dust on it,so,I think I can paint the strips very soon...

In a other time,I will be start the cockpit and the frame,pics as possible too.

If you have some questions or something that you don't understand,I'll try to answer you about this work...

Chris.

Chris,

Your work looks great, like every project you do.
I'm curious how the result will look and learn all these things to modify my own cars in the future.

 

[le66]

Hi Vip"Arry,

Thanks for your compliments,I'm just working with passion about Viper,you've just the result that what I can do with scales models,just for pleasure,it's not a problem to show you what and how can I do the build and makes,for pleasure to discover others scales builders (with Viper!!) and to know you're not alone in your country to modify them...

It's a idea to help some young people too,1/18 scale isn't the one,1/24 scale to start a good work is possible too,and not expensive,if I've some examples of this,I'll take some pics to show you too(in the futur,my favorite scale is 1/18 but it's the same work)

Here it's for one of VCA members,and the project is not difficult,but I work with a professionnal spirit to have the better result for the owner!!

About the Viper,here we have a very good black paint at start,now I must work the cockpit and the frame,I hope the final result became for Christmas or for the new year!!

So,as possible to show more pics!! Chris.

[OKViper]

That looks SO awesome. The paint is perfectly laid and the SRT wheels look like they were original...

 

[le66]

Hi OKViper...sorry to contradict you, there was a problem...

Hello Everyone....

I encountered a very old problem of which I did not think when I made the two gray strips...the two strips are nice but the adhesive of the lines of maskings remained on the body on the takeoff of the unit...

From there, I could not put any more the layer of varnish which I wanted to pulverize with the top...

I've some pics of the problem and I show you...

Here,you've the start of my work...just for the 2 strips...

I sandpapered with paper dry n°1000 all the body for one hangs gray painting and varnish...

[le66]

Here I center the limits of the strips...

(the problem is the fine blue tape...you will see a little further )

at this time there, I did not think of nothing which can turn to the nightmare, traditional preparation like actually

10 minutes later,the gray paint was OK whithout varnish...no dust,regular base...

[le66]

30 minutes later, I remove the paper of masking

And this is at this moment where the nightmare starting...the adhesive of the blue adhesive remained encrusted on varnish, impossible to revarnish over

I decided to start again all painting with another solution to make the bands, I used powerful diluting cleaning for body and here us are again at the beginning of work...

[le66]

For this new painting, I decided to work differently, with a new special adhesive for models, the preparation is different from what I could do above, I put the whole to you in pics as soon as possible

You must be registered for see images

Well,I did not have a chance, I chose a bad adhesive (blue) of decoration for automobie body, will know that the adhesive remains on the body of the model and that you are oblige all to remove for a better result... Pay attention...

Chris. (but )

 

[OKViper]

I can't believe that the blue tape left so much adhesive on the paint! I have never run into that on automobile paint, but I hated to see that.

We have all learned something new. But, the black/siler with those wheels look amazing!

 

[le66]

I hate this too,the second stage will be OK I'll hope....it's the same work but with an other process...

For instance,just a new surfacer primer white (TAMIYA),and when it will be dry,I would sandpaper it with sandpaper n°1000 wet...

Some news...

After having passed a light surfacer, I waited 10 minutes then I passed a layer of silver leaf TS-30 TAMIYA on the top of all the body

You must be registered for see images

You must be registered for see images

as soon as this layer of silver is almost dry, ("take a lamp to see the smoothing of the coat of paint) I would pass a layer of varnish to the same place, always on the top of the body ...

 

[le66]

Ok,the layer of varnish has been just applied....(varnish TAMIYA TS-13...)

You must be registered for see images

One lets dry 3 or 4 days, I put a rather thick layer on all the top of the body, temperature with 20° in the obligatory part... attention with dust, for that, I work much with a lamp of strong power for seeing surfaces of the body well....

 

[OKViper]

I hate that it takes 3 to 4 days to set - I want to see it finished now!!! I can't wait...
Looks awesome, Chris!
