my enzo

[scottie300z]

I am currently working on an enzo, it has been years since ive done a model and ive decided to start again with the enzo. the pic isnt that good of quality b/c i took it with my phone ill post better ones when i get my better camera out.

Ive really only started painting but here it is. And keep in mind i really should be considered new at this. The second pic is in a shadow so it doesnt look as good as it really does. and this is only after my first/second coat of paint. (im not as careful as i should be with the paint so one coat may actually be two)

Oh my...that looks like the Revell Enzo....Good luck... :(

[scottie300z]

it is, im on a budget, so i got the budget model. tamiya is just too expensive even though those are what i used to build. I plan on taking my time with this so it doesnt turn out as the last revell model i built did, which was the 240z and that didnt go so well. But this is off to a much better start.

I've seen plenty of the Revell Enzo's beautifully built, you've got a good start there.

my revell enzo is almost done, its come out perfectly i think you got a fooked one espy

[scottie300z]

mine hasnt been really too perfect, but im pretty happy with it and overall has been going good. im moving on to the suspension right now, id have pics if i could find my camera but im not sure where i put it when i moved back home.

[my porsche]

i have almost everything painted, i stripped the body and repainted it today cuz i hade a tiny blemish or 4

most everything that is painted is glues, did you have trouble getting the headers to stay on the tube? i put glue but they slide right off!

the thread name attracts many people that would not care to come to look at a kit. :) Hopefully some of you can be lured away from the world of computer and do something creative with your hands :)
Well done so far and keep us posted.

[scottie300z]

long time no update, partly b/c i took a break from the car a bit b/c of lack of time, and it took awhile to find a half way decent camera. So here it is so far. I have had a few problems w/ fitment, but id say this model is worth the money as it is cheaper.

[my porsche]

quite the overspray you got going there, i had it on my enzo too, i just made another layer and its gone :)

[scottie300z]

its actually not as bad as the pics lead you to believe. just a bit. it looks gritty in the pics for some reason

[carsnut]

I'm working on the Revell Enzo too. You're off to a great start there. I just thought you should put the carbon fibre pieces on the red engine piece saying "Ferrari"

[scottie300z]

that black parts that look like carbon fibre pieces are actually paint. and i didnt feel like using painters tape and doing that when there is plently of black in the engine bay already. i sanded down the body some and did a light coat of paint so its looking better.

i do have a side question though, Are the expensive ferrari tamiya models worth the money? they have a 360 for around 35 if i remember right and revell has a 360 for arounf 14. whats the difference?

[Dino Scuderia]

As far as the 360's, Revell didn't do as good a job on them as they did the Enzo...and mostly that's in the body proportions, and Revell totally missed the size and design on the 360 side mirrors.

Still the Revell makes a nice looking 360 when it's finished, it only looks really bad when it sits beside a Tamiya 360.

[woodstock827]

i find Revell (or any other brands except Tamiya for that matter) parts doesn't always fit together properly... and they dun have as much detail...
I think Tamiya is well worth its price even though they'r much more expensive... and their plastics feel more high quality...
i only build Tamiya unless they dun have the model I want.... then i go for Fujimi (my two 190E models... street & race)... had bad experiences with Revells.. :P

also i use brushes to paint my models (except body), and tamiya plastics catches the paints better except silver... always have problems with silver.. :(
