Danny Meer Very nice great paintjob

Neuling I agree with Danny.

Dominik Weitzer Thanks mates, much appriciated.

gorbygould Beautiful!

Christian W Well done! For a snap kit the kit came out pretty good. Here you see that a good paint job changes a lot!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks. It was a quick paintjob and a qiuck build :-D

Christian W Good to see it built up. Well done!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Bro

Danny Meer Such a cool car, would love to have it in my garage

Neuling My garage is too small for it, but I like this model anyway.

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much. This model is very Special.

Neuling Schöner Sportwagen!

Dominik Weitzer Dankeschön

Bob Hall Awesome Car ! I did mine in a Texas Trooper Car, I love that Revell did this but was disappointed that it was a snap kit with no motor or independent suspension or undercarriage .

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Bob. This kit is very cool. Nice result and relativ fast to bild.

Neuling Beautiful!

Chris Greathouse Nice car!

Martin Wilk Gotta love the "Striped Tomato"

William Onofreychuk Super nice Torino sir! One of my all time favorite classic cars, and you did an excellent job modelling it, kudos to ya!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much mates!

Danny Meer Very nice build mate

Neuling Stunning colour combination on a beautiful automobile.

Dominik Weitzer Thanks mates

Neuling What an automobile .............

Bill Newcomer Very nice! May I suggest that on your next one, lay BMF on the emblems and scripts BEFORE painting then lightly sanding the raised portions to highlight the emblems.

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Neuling

Good Point Bill....i forgot the Emblem-Decals :-D . ups.

Christian W This model kit looks so fantastic! With all it's small details it's really well done. Maybe you'll get some pictrues of it with the original car.

Dominik Weitzer Thank you Bro. not thought about it, to make some Pictures with the real Golf.

Munkyslut Ahh that's excellent! What brilliant work, looks so realistic, I'm very impressed

Patrick Hagelstein Looks really awesome! Are you going to replicate that Nürburgring sticker on the hood as well?

Nigel Chapman Wow looks great, I love the display case with that photo, looks amazing

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much!
Patrick, in the first meaning i would like to fix that Sticker in scale on the Hood. But he will restore his car (sitting in a Garage since years) and told me, it is not that important to make it.

Patrick Hagelstein Gotcha!

Neuling Schöner Golf im passenden Ambiente!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Tom. Much appreciated.
Try it! I'm using my airbrush normally for weathering. This is my first model with two-tone painting

Christian W Love it The color rocks and all the details.

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Bro.
In the meantime, the engine is completely built, painted and installed. Also.i painted the rims, mounted them. Perhaps the wheels will get white walls. It looks a little bit boring.
At last, I painted the trim around the windows. I used paint marker for rubber, chromepan for trim.

Christian W I like the window trim. This is so cool.

Danny Meer Nice work already!

Tom ... Agree on the window trim!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you Mates.

Dominik Weitzer Thats the last update.
I installed the windows, the fit without gluing.
Why is the rim mounted? Testfit with the wheels and I thought "Whitewall will be a nice touch" and I didn't get them removed. So I completed in a run the body without making some pictures...and brushed wide and narrow WW but both...i didn't liked it, how it looks.
Last of all: the rubber between body and fenders is missing, after that, it is already done.

Christian W

István Szücs Great!

Spanjaard

Neuling Sehr schöner Mini!

Tom ... Let's try that one again: How cool, *Dominik*. I love the color scheme and decals! I also like that you didn't glue on the roof. I wish I hadn't done that to my mini. I have this kit too and looking forward to building (at some point

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much. Much appreciated.

István Szücs And where is the rear licence plate? Is it lost?

Dominik Weitzer Hmm...good point. There were no matching plates on the decalsheet

Christian W Awesome model kit

Dominik Weitzer Thank you Bro . The kit is perfect to build.

Spanjaard interesting effects Dominik

Dominik Weitzer Thanks!
After painting Chippingfluid (MIG) I painted the whole body in a light green. I used water-based vallejo Colors.
On the left fender, hood and in front of the windshield the paint cracked after drying. The effect is perfect! It is the first time that this happened but just perfect.
A model colleague told me, that this happens if you paint wet in wet. That could be, I had no long time tolet the fluid dry.

Spanjaard cool

Dominik Weitzer Made some progress with the chipping method. I used needles, brushes, toothpicks for scratches and remove the paint. Also used them to "correct" the cracked peaces and get them in place. It is really easy, when the paint is softened with a brush and water. Excercises.
My focus is the left side and front. So the model will be placed on a base.

Christian W Soso. You are really bussy this year

gorbygould Looks good. I've never seen this kit before.

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much.

Christian W Cool!

Roland Gunslinger Very cool and beautiful Build

Dominik Weitzer This days i started with my own memory built.
as Always, i painted couple parts with Basic Colors (primer, black and Brown). Other parts like doors i had to cover up the Windows, because Heller made them completed clear parts.

Dominik Weitzer Also i painted the bodyparts. Thats why the Heller Kit is THE kit for this built. All doors can be glued open - that makes this paintjob very easy.
love it!

Neuling Looking forward! I owned one in the eighties ...

Christian W Awesome! I'm definitely on this build

Dominik Weitzer Some progress on this.
Painted details on the doors / hoods and married all the parts.

Christian W This is so cool

Tom ... In like flinn...I have the Ebbro version of this so very curious how this compares

Dominik Weitzer Small update in this on.
because of standing on a diorama, I mounted the doors. The drivers door is not locked, the passengers doors on the right stay open.

Mike Kryza I'm in. This was my first car!

Mike Kryza In a light blue color.

Tom ... Dominik, your father's car had different colored doors?

Dominik Weitzer Hi Mike, thats funny. Welcome on board.

Tom, yes he had. His first renault was (because of the rust) like a harlekin. The parts were changed from other cars from the French Army stationed near our hometown. This R4 also was from a French and at that time it was really complicated get it "road legal" - independent of the different colors. They came later.

Dominik Weitzer Up to the next one.
I always make the Body first, don't know why....and it all starts with removing those terrible mold lines on the front fenders...

Tim Heimer I loved this kit! I hope you enjoy it as well! O.k coffee hasn't kicked in, just saw album below!

Tim Heimer Looking Good!

Dominik Weitzer And so it is done. Mounted the last parts (rear lamps and clear parts). I thought, the windshield looks naked without a frame.
I like the result. Was a fun built.

Munkyslut Wow! You've done a fantastic job on that Dominik
The bright gold plate looks great, I like the flashy polished brass look of it, great contrast against the antique blue
You knocked it out of the park with this one mate!

Chris Greathouse Great job on this fun kit!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you! Much appreciated. I like this model. It is really different to my collection.

Tom ... Really great build, Dominik. Very bright and clean. Really pops! Weird that I missed the build.I might even get this kit. Looks like fun alright!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Tom. It is a lot of fun to build it. Grab it!

Chris Greathouse Sweet ride!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Chris

Munkyslut Beautiful car, much more interesting than a Superbird, good mate of my mine in Indiana has a Daytona with a 440 Magnum

Bill Newcomer Great color combo. Nice detailing on the wheels and the ignition wires.

James C That's a beauty!

Dominik Weitzer Thanks mates. Much appreciated

Tim Heimer I agree with Bill and James! Nice

Neuling I agree with Tim.

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Tim Heimer Tempting kit for me too Dom! Bob, what about you?

Dominik Weitzer I saw the preview & built from happy guy and at least, the wide wheels are gone. That's why I like to get this new one.
I never liked the "gooncar"wheels.

Dominik Weitzer Second old built I grabbed out ...
I started this about one year (not sure if it is the second year) and planed it as junk yard / parts car.
Engine out, some damages, rusty.
Base coat is red primer. Before I used chipping fluid (mug), I painted "comouflage" different colors ( Tamiya) orange, brown, Amber.
Than the layer of chipping medium.

Michael Hickey Looking good, can't wait to see the end result.

Bozzer I'll hop on for this ride, if that's ok?

Dominik Weitzer Thanks mates, of course Bozzer

arielvitanovus OMG! Dominik, it is looking fantastic.... I am sooooo pleased and excited to see this as it progresses!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you! Much appreciated.

arielvitanovus Hi Dominik... I have not received the shipment yet... I lost track of where the shipping tracking number is in my stuff. I would like to check in on it... it seems it should be here.... getting a little nervous .... would you please resend that info to me?

Dominik Weitzer Hi Deborah, PM sent

Dominik Weitzer What was following?
I changed the color, painted the frame and made a very quick weathering.

Neuling Looking forward ......

Bill Newcomer That is an interesting mix of old school cab with modern towing technology.

Bozzer Hopping on board. This is something I've been mulling over for a while.

Bob Hall OH ! Now your singing my Shelby song ! Beauty !

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Bob. It came out awesome. Like that a lot.

Dominik Weitzer About four years I started this "wild" idea, to combine the old Blitz with a bought Rollback.
The frame is stretched, body painted and engine done.
I stopped...dont know why...

Dominik Weitzer First paint is on. macadamia brown? hm...it is a challange, to get the color "right" on photos.
Needs a wet sanding as always after the first layer of clear coat .

Dominik Weitzer Days ago, I stripped of the paint. Now, after a week of work on the new color with more time for drying the different layers of paint, I'm more happy now with the paint. I took black primer and it looks darker now.
I'll attache a picture after the weekend.
The body needs a final layer of clear.

Dominik Weitzer It worked out til now. I'm very happy with the result so far.
Now up to the interior

Dominik Weitzer in small steps i painted the interior today. Now i will start the detailing there.

Christian W The new paintjob is very nice

Dominik Weitzer Some details painted on the interior. Gave it the leather look, dashboard console painted and other little details painted in aluminum.

Christian W Beautiful!

Werner Timmermanns Looks great !

Dominik Weitzer Thank you!
I am going straight ahead to the finish. Two changes I had to made.
Remove the "chronograph area" on the dashboard (repaint the dashboard) and converted from automatic gearbox to stickshift.
And I started to assemble the body.

Christian W Very nice. As usual ???? Looks good. Shiny paint and a nice colored interior.

Dominik Weitzer Here it is. While working in the Final assembling, I built the specs like the rear US-Bumper and exhaust pipes.
At the end, it fitted very well. It came out as I wished, I'm really pleased with the result.

Christian W It looks amazing!

Bill Newcomer following

Dominik Weitzer Fast Forward...now the red decal is done. it was very tricky, becaus it is an old kit...needed a lot of fluid to lay it down.
In the meantime, the engine is done. Made the wiring and fitted water hoses to the cooler from the engine of course (missed in the kit?) and also installed the waterhoses to the heaterbox.

Christian W A lot of fine details *thumbs-up* This will be a pretty model kit.

Dominik Weitzer This days, I started assembling and that's just like a homerun . Windows mounted, tube in, chassis on. Glued. So far so good. Nothing happens. No fingertips with glue on the body.
After my holiday I will mount the wheels in "the right" stance.

Dominik Weitzer The charger Daytona is done. I'm really really pleased with the result.

Munkyslut Looks great mate

Bill Newcomer Nice work my friend. Looks GREAT!

Christian W The red on the white is bright like hell. What a red. In combination with the interior it looks amazing.

Tim Heimer Nice work here! Now I know I'm not alone in this automotive nightmare of modifying cars! LOL!

István Szücs Cool, congrats! The T-top is awesome!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you Mates!
Yes, my brother made an awesome job on the roof. I like it.
Those days I picked up the body. I worked on the interior.

Dominik Weitzer @munkyslut, what do you mean "....sure you don't work for TTI?"

Munkyslut TTI are the probably the best US muscle car & performance exhaust manufacturer Dominik

Dominik Weitzer Olala! Thank you very much for your compliment!

Munkyslut Praise indeed mate

Chris Greathouse Your detail work is amazing!

Dominik Weitzer Here we go to another project :
Porsche Cayman (987)
It will be macadamia brown with brown interior.
Could be a easy build...

Dominik Weitzer Thought, it is an easy build...no, it isn't.
After I painted the body twice today, I strip just yet the paint...so I had time, to paint the parts from the chassisand began to mount them.

Christian W The color is really nice.

Dominik Weitzer Yes it was.
After I sanded the body for the final layer of clear coat I had "sprinkles" under the paint...now remove the paint and a new start.

Urban Gardini Ah, don't you just love a build that fights you all the way, I've just finished one that did just that...

Dominik Weitzer *lol* you're kidding?

Urban Gardini Well, sort of...

Dominik Weitzer As the body paint job worked as I hoped, I went to the interior.
Basecolors mixed to a kind of brown-buff or so, I made the leather parts and started painting the details.
After my holidays, I will work on the bodydetails and up to the assembling.

Dominik Weitzer Body parts primer on

Christian W The rims Looking very good on the C6. You know, that I'm not that big fan of panel lines on cars.

Spanjaard looking good!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you, much appreciated.

Neuling Sehr schön!

István Szücs Great! Congrats!

arielvitanovus Amazing, Dominik! Thank you!

Bob Hall Now that is a BEAUTIFUL pair of Goats !

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much. Much appreciated!

Neuling Impressive interior!

arielvitanovus Fantastic, Dominik!

Christian W Very very nice cars.

István Szücs Great, congrats!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you very much mates

Dominik Weitzer Up to.the next Model.
1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
It will be Toxidblack with Burgundy interior. The interesting parts of this build is to convert the body a t-top and install a dual exhaust.
My brother will do the body, because it is the greatest part of it. I'll do the rest.
That's the way we go

Chris Greathouse Looks like a cool car, I'm on for the ride

Munkyslut Ahh nice one Dominik I loved the late model SS350, very cool!
Are you building it stock or custom?

Bill Newcomer Following.

Dominik Weitzer Thanks mates.
Munky, I'll do the custom

Dominik Weitzer Today, I made a step forward to make the double exhaust. Looking good so far.

Dominik Weitzer Exhaust is ready and painted - like the result.
Also the undercarriage is painted flat black after I worked for the space of the new pipes on the frame.
Last thing...filled the sidewalls with putty, sanded and painted primers I'm fine with it.
Now I have to order the burgundy paint for the interior.

Munkyslut Yeah that floorpan looks very good, exhaust efforts have paid off, looks very realistic.
One point of note, that GM 700R4 trans pan is absolutely spot on!

Dominik Weitzer Thank you!
In the meantime, i completed chassis and engine. No fitting problems - so far I like that

Dominik Weitzer Different Colors of red where delivered yesterday and so I started painting the interior.
To get the "burgundy" matched, I chooses redblack and red from Vallejo.
To make it look like leather (dashboard, upper parts of the doorpanels and rearsides from the seats) I chooses semigloss clear. I like the result.

Dominik Weitzer Thank you mates for your Attention and cheering-up.
I've just painted the left side of the BB (BB = BarrierBlue vs FB = FontaineBlue) with clearcoat and i'm really pleased with the result. In the evening i go to the left side and think it is done.

liked to upload a Picture in Progress (taped)...didn't work so far. Always get Errors...

@chaz: the kit is amazing. it made so fun to built that i've just ordered two more for me to build. love it!
for the paint, i use spray cans. those paintes are used for real cars, i',m not familiar with the airbrush to paint complete models. I'm a spray-can-guy :-D .
I take products from "Kwasny" K-Racing for primer, black gloss / flat and clear coat. If i Need filler, i take one from Prisma Color.
They work well together, i order it online (eBay or Amazon).

the base paints or metallic for Bodys i have to choose where i can get the original paintcodes. normally they are from Multona or Dupli-Color.
I will attache a Picture...if it works...

Munkyslut Dominik, I use automotive paints for the bigger scales like 1/6 1/8 etc but it's usually too thick & heavy for 1/24.
For those I use Tamiya sprays, I find them really good.
I've just started using an airbrush again after a 35 year break & i dont know why I left it so long, it's the way to go

Chaz Gordon Airbrush is definitely the way to go, I tried rattle can primer and instantly regret it, Thought I was saving money, right up until I covered a whole model with just 2ml of Vallejo airbrush primer! The only trouble is I went too good too fast, and got an nice iwata TR0, now I'm spoiled and have to buy another one (TR/TRN 2) for wider area coverage for clear coats and such. At least I have the initial cheap brushes for primer work

Dominik Weitzer I agree to use an airbrush or tamiya paint. But for me it is not so easy to change my hole processes / routine...

What's done now? Both GTO are painted new on the sides. I'm fine with the first result. Even if you know, there were stripes before, you'll see them in special angles. That tells me, I will do that procedures once again.
I will wet sanding the sides and give a new layer of paint.

Christian W That looks good!

Dominik Weitzer Hurrah,...I call both done. Sanding and Overpainting the trimlines worked. It was a challenge to paint only the sides, but at the end I hit the goal. Stripes are gone, they're looking really good .

Christian W Awesome!

Spanjaard excellent final result!

Christian W You know, I'm watching you

Dominik Weitzer Sure Brother

After completed the Audi i worked on the Corvette. Step by step painted details, mounted parts or decals...It looks like a homerun. It fits well, easy to built and so on. Like that kit!

On the interior I choosed to different black and painted some aluminum parts, to give those boring "all black interior" a small different touch.
On the engine I choosed the white from the body for the pretty nice covers.

worth mentioning is that the chassis was heavily warped and I cling to the interior with clinging. Otherwise, all parts fitting very well.
Coming along nicely

Christian W This last picture looks beautiful! Good to see this tinted strip on the top. Have to remember to do this on mine too.
The interior looks good! Are there decals for the sound system too or did you paint it? Looks great!

Christian W I think the lights at the front aren't done so far. Watch for the turn signals

Dominik Weitzer Thanks Bro. I've done all decals incl the sound system.
Don't be worry, the details (f.e. markings, lights) on the body should be done after the marriage

Christian W B)

Dominik Weitzer Made some work before holiday.
Marriage chassis and body, painted details on the body and mounted nice wheels. Didn't liked the small wheels from the kit .

Christian W Pretty nice! You know it.

Neuling Clean build! Deserves more pictures.

Dominik Weitzer Work is done. a couple weeks ago I completed this beauty - and missed upload pictures in an album.
Thanks for all comments!

Neuling Thanks! Elegant!
