Hi all,
I'm working on the Tamiya Ferrari 312T4 1:12, I will make the car Villeneuve raced at Dijon dueling with Arnoux. Many thanks to Bastien spotters guide!
I started some months ago and now I have something to show to you, I'm not much fast...
I tryed and replaced monocoque rivets with 3d printed rivets (first time I try), AK polished aluminium and some Tremonia PE.
Primer and gloss black Tamiya spray can before AK Polished aluminium.

Thanks for looking, any comments welcome

Hi all,

I used AK Titanium for the engine.

- -I bought some 3d printed parts by Smirkoff via Shapeways in order to better replicate fiberglass rear brake air intakes and the base of intake pipes, I painted them with a very diluted mix of deep yellow, green ochre and bronze colors - -I like the final effect.

Ciao,

Looks great so far!!

Lovely work so far! I’m doing the T3 ATM so very interested in any T model.
Keep up the good work!

Nice and clean start!

Off to an amazing start.

Hi all,
a couple of weeks ago I bought a resin 3d printer, the Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra, and I'm really happy with the purchase...
Now I can print my 3d parts at home, great fun!

I printed some parts for the battery: the battery cover (painted black), battery caps (painted yellow), and battery teminals.
I removed the battery support molded together with the battery and replaced it with a folded metal sheet
