Next year, on may 1st 2014, it will be 20 years after Senna's fatal crash at Imola. As a tribute to the all-time best F1- driver I want to finish all my 1:20 kits before that day. So I started to build the 1989 McLaren MP4/5 this time...

I've got a Tamiya MP4/8 with rain-tires for his Donington car... perhaps I should start that one next 🙂

After a week of preparations to the main elements of the model like chassis and nody, I think I have reached the moment I can start applying some paint...

Excellent work! You must be a very patient man to keep fiddling with the rear suspension...

Every time as I ve a look on your workbench, I`m paralysed!!
Your skill is so unbelievable high, that I´m thinking I built only wrong model themes!
I must built a F1 racer once!

Like the motorcycle theme, I`ll do this! Yes, I will do it!
I hope we can talk a little bit about painting Formula One Racer in Mol? Would be cool!

Superb work Guy, I'm absolutely thrilled by your fine detail work. I get more and more frightened to start my kit. I just thought (like Jeremy Clarkson) how hard can it be?? But now...

Lol, frightening people is the last thing I want to do with my thread. On the contrary, I'm hoping to help people here and there where things start to get a little complicated or confusing...

Well yes, help is what I definitely need 😉 How do you paint the face? Do you use brush or airbrush, which colour, etc. I bought some eyeball decals and thought that would be nice. Do you have any experience with that? Anyway, you're work is always an inspiring example!

Faces like this one, almost completely hidden behind a helmet, are painted by brush. First a base coat of flesh (enamel) followed by a wash with some brown acryl, to prevent the base color from dissolving again. Next a little touch-ups with enamel again. The eye-white and eyeballs are done manually as well, but I think the eyeball decals are a good idea, I'l probably try that next time. But complete faces like the Jochen Rindt face are done by airbrush.

Thanks a lot Guy for your reply. I had no idea painting faces in two colours. I'll give it a try and will show results asap.
