Of course I don't stop with building my Audi R8, but I just stop writing my English blog.

Audi R8 | Update 07-10-'09

Welcome to my blog!

Today I started abrading the body of the car. I used grain 600 sandpaper.
After polishing I washed the car, and dried it with a tissue. Then I sprayed the 1st layer primer. And after waiting for 3 hours de seconde layer primer could be sprayed. Just see the result:

 

 

And the bumper:

Please note I have to polish it all again because of some dusty points..

I'll try to spray the body White-Metallice this weekend. I will inform you!

Please subscribe :)

Audi R8 | Update 04-10-'09

Yes, here I am again! Yesterday I promissed you for a new update today. So, I've done some work! Not much, because of watching R/C car races.
I begun with the windows. I painted a black line. I look likes the window rubbers. Sadly enough, I haven't got pictures for you... You'll see it next week!

Mmm.. What a very short update, isn't it?!

Audi R8 | Update 03-10-'09

Hi There! Finally the interior is finished. I gave the seats a 'finishing touch', and I also gave the interior 'box' some new details. After that, I glued it all together, and placed it on the chassis.

As you see on the picture above, the handbreak and the gearshift are placed on it.

 

Thanks for reading. My next update will be tomorrow.

Reactions please? :)

Audi R8 | Update 30-09-'09

Hi People! Welcome back to my third update.

The previous 2/3 days, I prepaired the interior so I could place it on the chassis. I painted the interior 'box' with a nice beige colour.

As you see, I painted it with my AirBrush. This were the first time I used my AirBrush. I think everyone should use AirBrush. It's very nice to use it!

After that, I painted the seats. I painted it in 2 colours, with 3 layers. Please see the pictures below.

Layer 1

Layer 2

Layer 3

Thanks for reading. See you on the next update!

Audi R8 | Update 27-09-'09

Hi People! This is my second update. I painted the dashboard today. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I wanted to. I painted extra thick. That's because of I wanted to create an 'Alcantara' look.
This is what I mean wih Alcantara:

Unfortunately, this isn't suceeded. I couldn't get that 'dusty' effect...

The result:

You see, the layer paint is too thick.Of course I'm going to polish it. Hopefully that works.. However, I hope you like it. My next update will be much, and much better! :)

Audi R8 | Update 26-09-'09!

Hi People!

Welcome to my very first update. I've done lots of work. I've painted the chassis in black and I''ve done the whole motor. I put the silver metallic triggers on it, and last but not least: I carbonized some parts of the motor. It gives a very, very nice effect, don't you think so?

Not my motor, but of a friend of mine. I forgot to take a picture of mine.

The Start!

Hi people! Welcome to my weblog. Here, I´ll show you the way I make my Audi R8 of revell.
Well, let´s start!

A couple of years ago, I bought this lovely Audi R8. I walked trough the city. And suddenly my eyes looked to a new Revell scale model kit. It was the Audi R8! I fell in love with it. I got into the shop, and I bought the kit. `Yes! I´ve got the Audi R8. I´m one of the first persons, I think'

(Click for larger image)

So, a few years later I took the kit out of the shelf. I blew the dust from it. This is going to be a very, very nice car!
I'm going to paint the car Metallic White. That's because of some very nice pictures I saw on Google.
I'll paint the wheels black. What about the rest? You will see in my next messages!
