STUDIO 27 1/20 MCLAREN MP4/20 WIP update 01/09/2014

Post by worsone »

Hi All from south Africa
This is my first wip build on F1M so hope you enjoy the build.

I started with my first resin kit last week so its not that far in the build yet but will update every week.
so far the kit is not to bad had to do allot of shaping to the front wing mounts and devils horns but not to bad as i said

spend last night 2 hours to try and mix the paint for the dark side of the mp4/20 and ended up with metallic black lol so will try again this week end

hoop you enjoy the build and all comments good or bad welcome ( still trying to find my feed in resin kits lol)

Thanks yes love this year McLaren model as well. however after obtaining some very rare detailed pics of this car yesterday i decided to strip the paint of the model and re paint the model as the dark colour on my kit does not look correct so i am going to re attempt the paint job and will update my post as soon as i have done so. frustrating but i only want to build this model once lol

This car looks FAR better in the orange test livery in my humble opinion :wink:

HI HARVEYB258

You are correct the test livery is a stunning livery, but if you do get the race livery perfect it is a stunning car in your display case and does stand out from the rest of the cars. the problem i have with the test livery is to get zero paints into south Africa cost a arm and a leg ( 3 bottles zero paint landed in south Africa could cost about 90-100 ponds did a test with a buddy of mine lol)
and as far as i know Tamiya, revell and humbrol paints that we do have available in south Africa does not make the test colour and that's to say if i do get the decals for the mp4/20 lol not a lot out there for the 1/20 scale car. unfortunately i have to build the race livery lol

thanks w

Looking good, Werner. And I like your attention to detail - even if you have to strip the paint to make yourself happy!

Cheers,
Chris

I'm stick up for the race livery. This is probably the last Mclaren I thought looked really good. Kimi and Juan Pablo drove well and there really should have a championship for the cabinet. You are making a nice job so far. Keep at it...
