David's 1:25 Model Build - Saleen S281 Speedster

Here is my second model build. Took more detailed pics this time. I think its a 2006 Saleen S281 Speedster but it doesnt say the year. Built this over a period of 2 - 2 & 1/2 weeks. Used Primer and Clear coat spray this time. but I still dont have a spray gun which would be so cool. Well, heres my project:

I started out by washing all the molds with dish soap then rinsing and drying. Then I sprayed the body molds with primer:




Then I started the engine:




Attempted to place a mini decal on the oil dipstick lol



Never got it so I just painted it brown lol (They are real decals, not stickers)

Fitting the Turbo






Fitting to Chassis:














Fittting Exhaust and Suspension:










Interior to Chassis Fitment:







Body Paint:


Forgot to take pics after second coat

but heres the finished product ready for show:

The hood doesn't quite line up, but it works lol






and thats it. All done...though the white rear seat cover could use some more paint

Sure is a lot of detail to the models!

Yes, oh yes. It sure was fun painted all the dash vents and the radio buttons. Went with a pretty crazy colour scheme too. That tan colour (on the vents and door handles) is a wood paint.

It looks like you could get even more detailed with a finer paint brush!

how do you have the patience to do this lol..
i would give up after a while lool

but it does look amazing

Ha, cant get much finer than this:


The trick is keeping a steady hand.

and Im not sure how I have the patience for this. Im really not a patient person lol. but I guess I was just so excited and interested to use all my mini paints and see how detailed I could get.

Thanks guys

Oh wow, that is fine!! Never mind, I retract my statement
