herman's original teile

hmm so what have i been up to?... well nothing much really... it's just that i was toying around with the idea of putting those oversized original teile tamiya 1/24 scale decals on my old clk body... i saw somebody do this and since he was able to do it... i reckon, i could do that... and so i was up to the challenge...

below is a sample...

it looked cool on black... i borrowed it from him for reference... now on to my car...

being 1/24 scale decals... you have to have a lot of patience for this particular project... as it was very draining... materials include a sharp xacto knife, ruler, fine tweezers, a couple of q-tips and a very steady hand...

i had to cut some parts of the decal out just to make it fit on the body... save the cut out parts though... you'll be needing them later...

make sure that the cut out parts fit the body... and use the xacto cutter to cut off the pieces that don't quite fit...

after putting the decal in the proper location (using a wet q-tip/tweezers), some parts will be off... so just cut that out with the exacto knife as well...

after taking out the exess, and smoothing it over with a wet q-tip, it's time to use that cut out piece... luckily it's transparent, putting it over the other decal won't be too noticeable

this is what the finished side looks like...

note the decal on the top of the side flairing... while cutting out the decal to fit the side of the car, i saved the bottom part... then i used this to put it where it is right now...

save the decals when you think you can use them someplace on the car...

because of the scale, some of the fender decals didn't quite align properly... here's a view from the other side... so you'll see what i mean...

Very nice. The Original-Teile car is still one of the most beautiful cars in the DTM lineup. Having to make the stickers conform to the ridges on the front fender flare must've been a real pain. You had more surface area to cover there. Any problems because of that? You did the wing too, right? And new mirrors too?

You should take pics of the newly finished body side by side with the Kyosho Original Teile body.

yep you said it... the problems are with cutting the already small decals... and having them conform to the ridges, such tiny ridges at that... patience and a steady hand is the key... sometimes i couldn't approximate where the decals would meet when i put them on... thus cutting some of the decals wouldn't match up perfectly... but heck i'm not complaining...

wing what wing? hehehe... well i took the wing off while putting on the decals, no decals to add there... it's going back on when it's done... as for the mirrors... well sorry to disappoint... at the track, those things are the first to come off... i have been contemplating on making a scratch built pair painted in fluorescent orange though...

i'll try to take a side by side picture when i get the chance...
