Description

As an unexpected turn of events, my sister's boss discovered that I'm a model builder and asked me to work on some kits for him. He's a Porsche enthusiast, and as such asked me to build not one, but three cars! Starting with the first to arrive in the mail is the Revell 1:24 scale Porsche 911 Turbo (1987 model).

This is going to take me away from working on the Perfect Grade Unicorn Gundam for a few weeks, but I will return to my Beast of Possibilities soon enough.

I'll be honest it's a big step back in time for me, since the last time I built a model like this was decades ago, when I didn't have the wealth of knowledge or years of skill to back me up. So far I've only done modular construction; assembling parts that don't need to fully connected to one another yet. I even used my UltraSonic cleaner to peal off the chrome plating on the engine parts so I can repaint them.

This picture's just to show him that "I won't let his car end up like the last car model (cough, standing over his) that I built."

For reference, that's the DMK-01 Optimus Prime by Takara. Optimus Prime DMK-01 by GeneralMechanics 

I'll post more photos of the finished car before I send it back to its owner. and I'll be sure to drive it in reverse to undo the mileage I put on it first...
