Brandon H AuthorI'm hoping so, Martin!
I've been skiing precisely one time (re: cover photo). Things went mostly ok, but it's not something I plan to make a pastime out of haha

Brandon H AuthorA lot of it, Nigel!
Everything has primer on it now, hopefully this weekend I'll make good headway with the painting

Brandon H AuthorPainting is nearly complete... some 1:1 car drama was keeping me from getting much done for a while. Unfortunately the body came out with a bit of orange peel. I suspect it's coming from the black basecoat. Likely not a big problem, the assembled build will just get a bit more weathering. Art direction of the project can still be adapted to accommodate at this point. Next build that uses this system, I may look at wet sanding/polishing the basecoat too.

MarcelGood work on the upholstery! Looking forward to the final result. Too bad there's no 1:24 Delta Integrale kit that includes an engine. The aftermarket solution is alright, but quite expensive.

István SzücsSo you painted the patern of the upholstery... OK, I have no more questions. Perfect, as always!

Brandon H AuthorThanks guys. Much happier with the tones on the upholstery this way. The kit decals were much too bright, in addition to being woefully brittle.

MarcelGreat looking Delta. Especially the snow looks very realistic on the car. What did you use for the snow?
25 December 2024, 07:47
Brandon H AuthorThanks guys! The snow is a Tamiya scenery product. There's two types used here, one gives an icy looking snow, and the other a fresh powdery type of snow.

Brandon H AuthorFigures done! I'll get some natural light photos whenever winter decides to show up in my part of the world.

Kesa TihoUsually don't care about cars but wow! Wonderful dio so far, though I have one small criticism. The snow near the bottom of the car and near the tires especially looks a little too clean/white. At least where I live, the snow near those ares of a car are brownish grey and look like a sanded down pile of rubbish glued to a fender. Otherwise It's borderline perfect.

BozzerExcellent Dio mate. I'm already looking at snowsuits on Amazon, for the wife. (So I can climb inside it with her 😉 )

Yngve NFantastic! New year's eve gave us snow here and you managed to give this project the same feeling of cold weather as I can see from my window. Excellent!

Alexander GrivonevVery very cool. I also very much like the individual snow suit design

Brandon H AuthorThanks everyone, and happy new year!
The fenderbergs did get a bit of weathering, but it gets a bit washed out in the photos, as the green I went with for the Delta is very dark. I may tune the shading there to try to strike a balance between showing up in the photos and not looking too over-the-top dirty at shows.
The snowsuits, with the exception of the vintage outfit, are a selection from the Bogner and Helly Hansen catalogs, and the skis are high-end brands to match. Really trying to shore up the "rich-hipsters-up-from-Montreal" story here to explain the choice of vehicle... a nice Delta in that trim could fetch six figures, if we're talking $CAD...
Bonus points to whoever identifies the one very important detail missing from all four figures! Should be rectified soon.
1 2 January, 02:26
Brandon H AuthorOk, there's two very important details missing from all four figures... not sure if I have a great solution for that one in this scale.

Michael KohlBeautiful. Project and execution. I particularly like your top weathering of the engine bay.
3 January, 08:05
Brandon H AuthorThanks Michael! That engine bay is a really nice piece from USCP - crisp details really hold on to the dry pigment I used.
10 points to Nigel! (redeemable at The GAP, I think)

BozzerNice one Nigel. I still think a yeti, photo bombing in the background, would bring some humour to this? But I'm a mad man, anyway 😛

Brandon H AuthorNatural light always ties a dio together nicely, here's the final photos!

Yngve NAnd the final pictures with natural light and the ski passes looks very good 👍
