BMW Z4 Hatsune Miku 2014 - WIP

Washed. 

Engraved panel line to deepely and sanded. 

The front and rear mesh grilles are blocked and the mold is shallow, so it needs to be modified. However, the rear has a complicated shape and the pins for joining the lower plate are located on the inner side, so it is troublesome, so I decided to modify only the front.
 

I pasted it onto the etching mesh and cut it out leaving a little margin. 

Now that the molded mesh has been removed, there are pins on the inside of the front to join the lower plate, but fortunately, when I cut them off, about 2/3 of them remained, so there is no problem joining the lower plate. 

Next, cut the plastic sheet to an appropriate size... 

I created steps so that I could stick the mesh at the same depth. 

It will be attached like this later after painting. 

The vents on the bonnet were two piece, so I glued them together and then applied putty. 

I noticed this detail on the box art, but it was omitted from the kit. 

To make it roughly similar, I cut out offof the grill's vertical bars and drilled a hole in the back plate. 

Then I'm thinking of coloring and fitting similarly shaped metal parts. 

Sanded it. 

This is a car that uses a lot of carbon, but it would be difficult to express everything, so I decided to express only a few visible areas.
So I painted the areas where I wanted to express carbon in glossy black, and the rest in matte black.
The glossy black is the new GGX paint from GSI that I used this time, but it doesn't look as good as I thought.
I think the Ueno Black that I used before is better. 

I forgot to paint the inside of the body shell.
And I painted the rear grill and the front windshield area around too.
