.global.official Hakosuka Livery Progress! βš οΈπŸ—οΈπŸ€©

After a bit of planning to adapt the original livery to the Hakosuka bodywork I did start applying the decals I had and the result looks great so far 🀩 Some parts will need to be resized to fit the bodywork, massive thank you to my friend for his help in this part of the process! 😁

The Mobius 0.2mm again worked perfectly in creating the black lines and the window trims on the bodywork, so precise that allows me to use less masking in those processes πŸ’ͺ

As always a big thank you to and for their support!

Porsche progress update πŸš§πŸ—οΈπŸš§

Bodywork fully painted with the help of the GHAD-68; I used the suggested parameters by and the airbrush worked wonderfully! πŸ’ͺ
It took me a minute to get used to the new grip and the trigger resistance and after that it really eased my job on big surfaces; I've been positively impressed by the quality of this little one! 🀩

Painted initially a base with grey primer, followed by two coats of the Tamiya X-11 similar (to cover the original gray mould) and at last 3 coats of White. As always stunning results with these colours 🀩

The kit works super well in this colour! Now time to fix a little mistake... Realised that the reference model don't have the front canards πŸ˜… Time to use the putty without screwing the whole paint... Wish me luck!

Next step: putty madness and interior building πŸ’ͺπŸ—οΈ

Dear 2023,

You've been a special for me πŸ˜ƒ I decided to temporarily get back into the car modelling hobby after many years to recover from sim racing burnout and a knee injury.

I did start this Instagram page as a motivational tool to myself to create some deadlines and push my skills to make models worth sharing here; I thought that I would have never surpassed 100 followers as my craft was nothing to write about...

Testing my skill in my first Build-off was a great turning point as I started meeting fellow modellers like and sharing experience; this gave me some courage to try the tarmac which pushed my development even further πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Thanks to that I met , who introduced me to the gorgeous colours, and who dragged me into the UK gang; they have been the cornerstone of my journey so far and I cannot thank them enough 🀩

From there I continued to push my craft with new projects and learning great lessons from other fellow modellers like .fdr
.by.snax ... Thank you all guys for your help and support!!

Now I managed to get the 3D printing bug from πŸ˜… New year will be full of modded models and maybe a diorama 🀣🀣

Thank you to everyone who has been along in this 2023 journey, your support helped me a lot and if I was able to achieve certain goals it is thanks to you!

Can't wait to see what the 2024 will bring!

New airbrushes incoming!! 🀩πŸ₯³πŸ€©

I wanted to upgrade my trusty Fengda FE-180K for a while and since Telford I've been hearing great reviews about the from my friends and so during black Friday I got myself two of the GHAD-68 trigger airbrushes 😜

I also managed to be one of the winners of the giveaway (thank you so much for the support to my comment 🀩) and I received one of their GHAC-98D, thank you so much for the amazing gift!

I will make a "big hands-on" review next week once I'm back from New year's celebrations with the wife 😜 Stay tuned!!

Porsche progress update πŸš§πŸ—οΈπŸš§

The first mock-up looks promising 😁 The kit is gorgeous and gives the car a super aggressive look! The modding phase was full of high and lows with lots of great lessons learnt...

I need to get a better scriber than my cutter and now I have to figure out how to fix the scratches and the broken parts because I held the model too tightly when cutting and sanding 🀣🀣 (tall and big guy problems!)

Big thank you to and for the great tips on 3d printing that helped a lot in my first ever attempt!

Next step: repair and assembly of the main bodywork πŸ’ͺπŸ—οΈ

It has been a bit of a hectic week πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« As a funny turn of events the pharmacist ended up developing a cardiac side effect from one of the COVID/influenza vaccine...

This has completely fatigued me and I had to fly back home in Italy for some specialist consults. This means I have to pause my practical model building for now 😭

On the bright side this pause period will allow me to work on a couple of ideas for the page like: model reviews, tutorials and new addition to the stash 🀩

I'll be looking forward to your feedback for these new approaches!

New model on the bench! 🀩πŸ₯³

After seeing the great jobs done by and on this model I decided to join the party too 😜

The body kit is from the one and only and is a great opportunity to test out my new addition: m5s printer 😜

To make this model special I will replicate the gorgeous Akira Livery by (go check it out on their profile) who I cannot thank enough for their support on this project 🀩 Colours will be by the stunning as always 😜

This is going to be a massive endeavour for me as it will be my first experience with 3d printing and modifications. I can't wait to share its progress with you!

Bench upgrade!! πŸš§πŸ—οΈ

The workbench was in need of an upgrade to make space for my new tools and the ever growing of my
Colour collection (so difficult to resist those amazing colours 🀩🀩).

The .pl modular system is so great to build and I was able to tailor it to my needs as usual!

Now almost time to start my new project, stay tuned for the reveal on Thursday 😜😜

The "Eggplant" is complete πŸ˜‰πŸ€ͺπŸ†πŸ†

I have completed my entry for the in record time due to tight deadlines πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

The kit was pretty simple to assemble with less than usual Fujimi shenanigans (only the rear bumper was a nightmare to fit)! The VIP style and the Lavender color really worked well with this, I wasn't expecting it to be honest πŸ˜ƒ

I enjoyed a lot the planning and realization of the slammed suspensions, .o has been an amazing teacher and his knowledge and tips helped me a lot in the process! Thank you my friend! 🀩

Now a little break to recharge and I'll be starting a challenging project after being inspired by and πŸ˜‰

Stay tuned for the kit reveal next week!

Progress update! πŸš§πŸ—οΈ

Interior completed for my Lexus LS460L 😜

Decided to go pretty classy with black interior and have the accent matching the lavender colour. That was a bit of a challenging masking and came out pretty nicely πŸ’ͺ

Getting closer to model completion!

Next stop: bodywork painting and clear 🀩
