Tks for the lovely and enthusiastic comment. I have come to know of cyanos (used in Architectual Model making) similar to fewiquick, I will give it a try. The problem with fewiquick is that it dries super quickly. Areldite my my, you must be having great amount of patience. I plan to do complete photography for the build, just need some time. And lastly kudos for the three hotwheels models, the Ferrari is real great. More photos once you get them. I also picked up this mercedes @ a Bargain price of 650 Bucks a year ago. Here are the pictures ![]() ![]() | |

Ravi Bhai, Please post the pictures, reveal the make model. I would love to see them. I intend to start this weekend. will keep all posted. All, I have decided to use cyanos a local brand of glue, which at this point seems right for the job. the same is used by local aero kit assemblers. For the paint I have the Com Paint spray and imported surfacer primer. Now as per the instructions booklet i am looking for following paints 1. Steel 2. Aluminium 3. Wood any info is most welcomed. | |

![]() | ![]() As regards to paint. Bosny will cover any surface. But take care when you spray a car. Keep the car far away. I know it takes much much more paint than required, but the finish is better |

Right Cyrus43,More distance=smaller mist like particles=good finishing @manishalive see the Brianscalemodel's tutorials to add more details to your models. Index*::*BMC The Merc is nice. This is the picture of a 1:16 display case I saw while browsing,the case is from Franklin Mint.The display case alone costs about 100$ ![]() Last edited by abhishek_bmw : 13th August 2009 at 01:31. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Congratulations on your kit, scale model building can be a very rewarding hobby & will keep you occupied for hours together on weekends. If you're taking this up seriously I would suggest getting a modeling magazine like 'Fine-Scale Modeler', you don't need a full-scale subscription but just a couple of issues so that you're made aware of scale-modeling intricacies. The assembling & painting instructions that come with the kit are too basic for us to get the models to look like they do on the box-art. A quick tip, modeling tools & paraphernalia is hard to find in India, but tools used by jewelers like aluminum files, tiny drill bits, & fine sanding sheets suit model-making admirably. You'll also need a very sharp & relatively strong craft knife, using razor blades to detach the parts from the sprue will result in small cuts in no time. Quote:

Looking forward to seeing your kit being put together & remember, unlike die-cast models, plastic kits are extremely delicate, so if you have kids running around, beware ! ![]() Last edited by im_srini : 13th August 2009 at 13:19. | |||

| ![]() I found this topic in a non Indian scale model forum long ago before I joined Team-BHP and this thread (I used to surf Team-BHP forum threads as guest then).Luckily,this website address was jotted down in a notebook,so,it was not lost,as my machine was changed,formatted during this period. This is Jap Yamaha Motors website offering printable scale models of their various models,both in color and white.Though,they intended for making the models by papers,I tried to be a different-I pasted the printouts on thin alluminium sheets,cut them,glued them-almost 75% of the machine was made working for about half an hour everyday for more than three months.A child visited along with his parents one evening (I was not at home,the model was kept on my table openly).When I came,they were gone,I came to my room and saw the DEAD skeleton of the model ![]() I will start to build a new one soon (too busy these days). Please come and join to build a project for yourself!its really fun and free. Here is the link Realistic Paper Crafts | YAMAHA MOTOR |
