Orso Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Tamiya Volvo 850 built out of the box. I had already built a 37 Ford panel van and a VW Transporter in airline livery's so I thought that I should build this one like that to. Narrow strips of masking tape was cut and applied to the windows. Tamiya flat base with a small amount of clear to bind it was sprayed on the widows giving a frosty appearance. Since the car looked to clean I sprayed Tamiya Buff on the lower parts of the body but I needed snow so I glued micro balloons on the flat surfaces A few more pictures here: http://baecklund.eu/scalemodels/gig/aircars.html Björn B Edited June 23, 2018 by Orso Photobucket sabotage Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChippyWho Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 For many reasons, automotive models are about the toughest to get looking 'real'. This one goes all the way -absolutely brilliant work. (Mmmmm...heated seats!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
