Tamiya 1/12 Martini Porsche 935

OK so I've made a start, strangely for a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end.




Nothing is glued in the front yet, I've masked the inside of the fuel tank and tried to replicate some fuel in there.

I won't be gluing the oil tank cage in until I've finished the tank (I remember that from the Vaillant build)

Hi all added battery cables.




and starter motor cables.




I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again.

awesome, i like the way you do the weather plastic, looks so real

Looks awesome brother

beautiful man

Hi all added the crossover pipes for the calipers 



And added the bleed nipples



And did some work on the suspension 





Just need to talk to the blokes at work for the routing of the brake pipes.

I like the way this cars looks too

Made a start on the dashboard.

OK so masked the boot (that was confusing to say the least)




Did the safety cage.




A trial of the body

Well its got its wheels on.

Added the missing CDI units wires.



Added the low tension leads (I know they're not to scale but it's all I've got)



Added the body, getting there.
