    Hi AMG

        Haha, looks like we fell in love with pearl white pretty much the same way then, i still remember that day very clearly, i was

    going swimming with a friend, i parked the car in a outdoor car park next to a Lexus IS350 in pearl white, it was the most beautiful

    color I’ve ever seen, pretty much like how u describe the Porsche, the pearl white showed a very close to pure white in tone, not

     like some other where u can see a yellowish tone, and the side is reflecting a kind of brilliant light pink/lilac, and my instant reaction

    was ~~~

         Since then I’ve been in love with pearl white. Personally i still think Lexus has the best pearl white in the business. Although spray
   
    can can never achieve that sort of result, one day when I feel I’m competent to use real car paint, i will definitely get my hands on

    some of the Lexus pearl white. btw, also as a super 34 fan, i do love bayside blue as well, although not as much as pearl white.

        The pearl white FXX I’m building is the Zent FXX, Zent also own a pearl Enzo and I’m also tempted to give that a go. See the link

    below. I've already got the decal and PE for the FXX, so i will start it once i finish the spider and F40.

    http://scivi.air-nifty.com/motors/2006/09/index.html
   

        Looks like you have some good projects coming along as well; maybe you could post the progress onto the forum and share with us?

    I’m particularly interested in the 430, and maybe you would want to join the Ferrari group build as well.

        Finally thanks for your well wishes, i have my final exam on Monday, after that is full on model building for the holidays, really hope

    to finish some of the build I’ve started and get my bench nice and empty for the FXX.

    Cheers

    Alex

         Hi,  Alex,      how are you,

              First of all, sorry for my being late to reply you, thanks for your link which shows the Zent Fxx in Pearl White is very very

        beautiful, if I were the owner, I wouldn't let it to run the race, cos I don't want to see any damage on it's perfect paint layer, you

        already bought everything for FXX, that means you are standby once finish up spider & F40, I wonder will you also use 'can spray'

        to do your spraywork for FXX, cos some parts are very small, if you use spray gun I/O air brush can get a  better result, besides, I

        hope you got competence to use real car paint soon.

               Since I am busy all the time, so I am afraid of I don't have much time to post any progress onto the forum, in fact, last time the

        Mclaren F1 GTR was a exceptional case posted on HKML, once again, may be send some pictures to you by Email if possible once

        finish F430 challenge, but all depends on actual situation.

               Finally, Alex, the long summer holidays is coming very soon, how long is it and you will how to spend it ? building model all day

        long ?                           

                Bye Bye    !

HI AMG:

as i do not have air brush, i have to make do with spray can, i try my best to spray every part and not hand paint. i think that will be ok in result.

my holiday is a month long, and i started modling full steam ahead now~ hahaha~ during the holiday i might go to holidays with fds~ maybe going to snowy mountain. i look forward to that very much~

btw look forward to your mail of the 430 lah~ haha

cheers

       Hi, Alex,

       Will you plan to buy a spray gun shortly instead of spray can, well, to you, spraying equipment may be a heavy expense. isn't it ?

       you only got one month holiday, it's quite short, anyway hope you will enjoy it, you said going to snowy mountain with fds, Hum.....

       that is girlfriend or general friend    ??? HaHa ....

      don't worry, you don't have to wait much longer for F430 Challenge, give me 1......... year is enough to finish.!!!!!!!   HaHa..........

       Keep contact and So Long !!

Hi AMG,

I did plan to buy airbrush and pump the last time i was in HK, but the problem was i could not get mr hobby's laquer base paint in Australia. I know, sucks isnt it? Theres so much model stuff that u cant get in australia, and if u can get them, they will be hell expensive ><. Well anyway, thats why i didnt go ahead with the plan, and i dont know when i will get the spray gun. I certainly want to, but just not at the moment.

haha i was planning the trip with my fds only lah~~~ haha, oh ye, one year to wait only? no problem bro~~

cheers

    Hi, Alex,    how are you,

       I see, it seems Australia Government do not encourage this kind of hobby, damn it. Hey, Alex, do you know what is reason why ? no

    market here or not encouraged by Govt ? what a pity for that, however, if you try to look  this matter from another angle, may be it is

    a chance let you to try something new, such as real car paint i/o laquer base paint, will it be easier to buy  it in your place ?  in fact,

    some kind of special colours  that never be imitated by model paint, eg. pearl base white and bayside blue, ferrari red ........ etc.

    from my research, sometimes, a car looking good  or not and how realisic it looks like, the critical point always rely on which kind of

    colour itself, so, Alex,  could you let me know what is your first priority that you concern about it most for a model car ?

       Alex, how is your Fxx now, which stage you are going into ?   tell me soon  !!!!!                bye !!!

Hi AMG,

Yes, its kinda weird, i wouldnt say the government doesnt encourage this kind of hobby because theres is a large range of enamel or acrylic paing avaliable, i just cant seem to find the Mr hobby lacqure paint anywhere, maybe i havemy look hard enough, but at the moment iim still using can spray........

I think its possible to get real car paint, i know a spraypainter who can even mix the paint for me if i ask, but at the moment i jsut feel myself not up to scratch. besause i underdtand that i need to know a lot about property of paint before i can feel confident in using real car paint, and at the moment i just feel i know far too little.

I guess for me, a model car is a kind of way i would experess myself in how i might costomize a car, u know, i will never be able to afford a 430, (not in the near future anyway) so i can get a car, paint it the color i want, mixing up colors, and just play around. then i want to go for a good looking finish. so my principle about modeling is pretty simple, just to have fun with it. and i might not be as fuzz about matching colors as some of the pros. (firstly because im too lazy to bother, secondly, with my limited skills, its kind of hard to do). but i do hope to improve myself oneday to be able to mix my own paint.

haha~ my FXX is going great~ stil save and sound in the box with no stuff ups. =P and i have met a minor set back in my automotive modeling because something made me start working on a Freedom Gundam ><, hahaha so might have to pospone the FXX even more.

cheers mate~

       Hi, Alex,    how are you,

       I see, so how long will you stay in Australia and finish your study, I think you can do what you want to do when you back to

      HongKong then, at least buying Mr. Hobby's paint will be make easier. right .

       You are very lucky can know a spraypainter and be your friend here, I remember that long time ago, I tried to learn using real car

      paint, but nobody can help me that time,  Alex, you're right, real car paint using  is one kind of professional knowledge, it's easy to

      learn, but hard to handle it completely, on the other hand, not like the model paint, sometimes almost one brand can cover all cars

      but in real car world, almost all every well-known brand's sport car has their own authorized paint supplier, those suppliers will

     develop special colour for them, of course the formula will be kept secret,  as the colour tinter is completely different from the others,

     so may be it can explain that's why even using the same colour code, but getting two different result. May be oneday I want you to

     teach me !

        Alex, your principle abt modeling seem pretty simply, I really hope oneday you can build a car with your own paint. Ah..... almost

     forgot to tell you about the yellow mark existed between paint and clear coat after using B-513 and polished, I think one of the

    reason may be your hand oil printed on the paint carelessly before B-513 application. so keep fingers dry and oilness are very

    important.

           You plan to postpone the FXX, what a pity to hear that, when will you start it again on your schedule ??! finally, I wonder do you

    want to spend part of time to finish your school assignment, such as finish essay for some subjects ? you can tell me by next time,

    Hv a nice day and  Bye  !!

Hi AMG

After study, im not sure what i willd do yet, but at the moment it looks like im here to stay, but i do love HK and wil proly be back once a year and shop for models. (i spent about 2ks on models alone) haha.

And i do look forward to do my research on car paint, so one day i can customise my cars even further, but for now, i'll have to stick with can, which are ok for me still.

this holidays are really busy for me, yeh, its crazy, im going for my drivers licence on tuesday and these week i have been trying to practice driving properly for the test, i have developed many bad habit of driving within the last year, its really bad, now i have to stop all of it and prepair for the test ><

i think after i go for the test, then i can have a bit more freetime for modeling, and i swear to myself that i  will at least finish the 430 and 40. have to~

theres no asignment in the holidays, so im free from school work at the moment, but school resumes at 23 of this months, so by then i will have a bit mroe work. but still i think i will be able to squeeze a bit of modeling time geh~~

finally thanks for the tip about the yellow patches mate, i think i dont have this problem for my 2 cars now, and i will pay more attn to it in the future.

cheers mate~

      Hi,   Alex,  

         Now, It is Hongkong time Wed 07, first of all, do you pass and get the offical driving licence ?  I think you are going to give me the

      good news, isn't it ?

         What ? you spent 2Ks for models, that means you used $2000 only for models, whcih currency ? how can you get so much money,

      I wonder how much pocket money your mum give you each month !! now, I see, you come from a very rich family.!! Oh, my god, you

      are a rich boy, but I am a poor man, it seems so conflicting between you and me.  Ha..Ha..........

          Come on, Alex, modeling is just your hobby, no need to swear or squeeze the time to finish the kits, may be something more that

      most important is waiting for your settlement. right ?

     Have a lovely evening and Bye !!!!!!
