f1/20: sauber C30- 04

http://formula1models.blogspot.com/2013/10/sauber-c30-04.html

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. I don't have any pirelli lettering stencil so I used the fujimi decals. They were easy to apply but do not have the quality of the tamiya ones. I followed the usual steps I do when I apply tyre decals. Two layers of TS-13 to prevent silvering on the side of the tyres,the decals and finally one layer of TS-13 and two layers of flat clear (this is the first time I used tamiya's TS-80 instead of mr.hobby flat topcoat).

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. I had the same problems using 2k in martini lotus that I had with rebaque's lotus (see the previous post "lotus rebaque -06"). So I sanded all the parts and airbrushed a wet coat of 2K again. I also finished the decaling job on the parts I had to repaint. Now I will clear coat those parts and I hope I will be able to finish the car soon. Lotus 79 rebaque -06. Finally a new update. You can see it on the three first pictures). So, I decided to sand all parts aga...

f1/20: sauber C30- 07

http://formula1models.blogspot.com/2014/08/sauber-c30-07.html

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. And the sauber C30 is finished! The last things I did were glue the front wing, add some antennas and some bolts on the body and finally put the wheels on their place. I also hand-painted the L and R marks on the side of the wheels. It is a very nice model, quite easy to build (it must be curbside because there is no engine on the kit) and also to paint. As I told in preview posts, the most difficult part is to build the front wing. About the next model.

f1/20: sauber C30- 03

http://formula1models.blogspot.com/2013/09/c30-03.html

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. I just finished working with seatbelts. First I glued the photoetched pieces and used a piece of guitar string as a pin. Once glued, I sanded the excess with my dremmel tool. Finally I trimmed some strips of medical tape, painted them with tamiya's Park Green and used them as seatbelt clothes. I have already painted three coats of clear TS-13 on the body parts and I hope to start the decalling job soon. Very nice and great idea with guitar string.

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. Lotus 79 rebaque / martini -02. A little update. I painted the rims of both cars and masked them before painting the tire logos. Finally I airbrushed the logos using a stencil I had from the ferrari 126C2. It was quite difficult because the sides of the tires are rounded. Anyway, the result is not perfect but acceptable. So I hope I will be able to finish the engines next week. More updates soon. thanks to all! Labels: lotus 79 rebaque.

f1/20: sauber C30- 06

http://formula1models.blogspot.com/2014/08/sauber-c30-06.html

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. Hi again, in the last post I said I would try to not take six months to publish a new one. well I have "only" taken three. I applied three layers of 2K clear (from Hiroboy) to the body, the rear wing and to the separate parts of the front wing (I thought it would be easier to apply first the clear coats and to fix the different parts after -I still don't know if it was the best choice-). Finally I glued the front suspension and the rear wing to the main body.

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. Lotus 79 rebaque / martini -04. The work on both lotus is going slowly. I've been working on the details over the fuel cell. As you can see in the picture, the original tamiya part is all made in plastic and I cut it in two parts and added two brailed lines. I also used an old guitar string to simulate the little springs attaching the exhaust pipes. Labels: lotus 79 rebaque. Lotus 79 rebaque / martini -03. I hope next update will be faster than this one.

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. Lotus 79 rebaque -08. And the lotus 79 "rebaque" is finished too! I would like to thank Edgar Miró for his invaluable help (I'm still wanting to see your absolutely fantastic F-2007 finished.) and everyone who encouraged me during the building of this nice car! And next will be the fujimi's sauber C30! I wanted to start the mp4/27 or the RB6 but I'm still thinking wich kind of paints I will use, so the sauber won the pole! Best regards to all!

Formula 1 1/20 scale models by josep auguet. Lotus 79 rebaque / martini -05. It's time to post a new update. I worked on the detailing of the rebaque version. I painted the battery that's placed on the nose and added a piece of a spare decal, two rivets and some wiring. Some more wiring were glued to the oil cilinders and behind the velocity stacks. And finally I couldn't resist to make a little test fitting. Yesterday I started the work on decaling the body parts, so I hope I'll post a new update soon!
