hi, new to this, brought myself a tamiya morris mini cooper rally, 4 days in im nearly finished but wow STRESSFULL lol, once finished im hopeing to add a mud splat effect along the bottom/wheels any ideas for this? looks awesome alot better than mine, but i was eager to get this beast finished
I havent tried it myself, but flicking water soluable acrylic paint (used for artists paints - mixed to brown or clay colour of course!) at certain parts of the model could do the trick...
A lot better than my one haha. I'm such a newbie at model making. I have the Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper 1275S Rally one. Still a work-in-progress 2 months on... :$
Green is the bare plastic, white is primer and yellow is actual paint - you will notice in a few of my builds where I have changed my mind about the colour halfway through!
hi, i havnt long bought a tamiya mini cooper m03 and was wondering y car needs a battery and a front servo and wondering, how much they would be and where can i get them thanks, write back.
if ur using a digital camera, there might be a button with a flower on or next to it on ur camera, it will focus on things in close range, givs u better pictures in close ups, would love to see better quality pics n vids, great idea to record makin em tho, dnt no y i dint think of doing tht
You could potentially "cram" the build process into two days - but you would be spending several hours at a time - quickest I've built a plastic model would be 5 days (In between working, socializing etc lol)...
Lol, a workers union of one - take breaks whenever one wanted! - A colleague did work on the BL factory floor once, and yes - there were plenty of strikes!
Writes a speech "I am very proud to recieve this .. so very humbled am I!!!" lol - thanks mate! (I did these shots simply as a photodiary, actually eons before I heard of Youtube!)
Daft Punk's Technologic, lol I like how he remixed it! I've noticed also another Daft Punk tune "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" has been remixed for a Kanye West song!!!
I either use Tamiya Acrylic or Games Workshop paints for paintbrush detailing, while I use 'PLASTIKOTE' brand spraypaint for primer, the colour itself, and clearcoat lacquer (which I use on top, particularly before then after decal work - which seals them in)
BTW if you run into trouble bigtime with the painting (particularly spraywork) put the car into a container of automotive brake fluid - it strips the paint; but leaves the bare plastic alone!
I just bought the 1967 moris mini model from tamiya and was wondering what you think about testor paints and cements verus tamiya products. I plan to start building it this weekend and would like you advise before I start it.
I haven't actually tried testors products before (I believe they are enamel based??) since we generally don't get them over here (I'm in New Zealand), but Tamiya is good.
Ah yes, A fair dosing of clearcoat was handed out to that model - I often get odd looks from people when I buy 'clear spraypaint' from the hardware shops but its all good, especially when for a model it involves a shinier coat, decals that are protected and WON'T fall off upon contact, and an end product that is far easier to clean and hold in one's hand.
Ah yes, the green was the bare plastic molded colour - white was the primer and yellow was the actual sprayed colour.
I've built some models of note (my Porsche 911 Turbo is one) that have gone through a myriad of colourchanges before a final idea has been decided upon!
lol, yeh, I saw ur porsche, I like the way you finished it at the end, looks good, different....do you enter competitions??and the chosen music for this gave the car a "humerous" appeal. i like it, :) although me myself,only build japanese and group C cars
Hey thankyou. I haven't actually entered a comp yet - probably due to where I am, New Zealand, which really only has a small, but friendly, fraternity of modellers.
As for the models themselves - I build ANYTHING that is 1:24-1:25 scale, although generically it tends to be normally either American or Japanese cars.
It was a good intricate model to build - and for such a small model, it was full of parts! What I couldn't believe however that was that I have seen toy pullback diecast Minis, labelled as being 1/32 scale - that were actually BIGGER than this model!
Does it need painting??????

I either use Tamiya Acrylic or Games Workshop paints for paintbrush detailing, while I use 'PLASTIKOTE' brand spraypaint for primer, the colour itself, and clearcoat lacquer (which I use on top, particularly before then after decal work - which seals them in)
