Dirty & Damaged build, Tamiya Sauber C9 Le Mans

Post by wixy500 »

G'day everyone.

I've just uploaded a video to YouTube of how I built Tamiya's 1:24 Sauber-Mercedes C9.

It's built as it finished the race, covered with filth and carrying body damage. It's painted with Zero, Tamiya and SMS paints plus various wires, pipes and race debris added to lift the level of realism.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

The C-9 looks really good with all the "weathering".

Your YouTube presentation is very good in explaining all the things around the build.

All in all, it is a great job!
