Testarossa

I like the large scale 

Was trying to photo the roof crack and scratched glue stained glass 

 

Some parts started luckily no paint had been applied 

closer but out of focus pic. Learning digital photography too. 

 

Intricate suspension. 

closer look 

i like the detail. Decided to wait on learning to scrap build shocks and coils. 

More suspension detail. This is going to be difficult to dismantle since it is mostly small thin parts. 

In focus shot of fading chrome and sprue attachment points. 

 

Didn't expect flash on a $100 kit. 

close-up showing residual glue and many unlabeled parts. 

Closer-up. 

Re-built and painted engine. 

Not perfect but am pleased considering my lack of technical skill and poor shape of parts. 

Debating if I should wire or get more mastery first. 

I think I'm going to stick to vallejo paints when brushing. Tamiya doesn't cover well, is tacky and colors don't seem correct. 

I think a wash would really make all the details pop and make this look incredible.
