Well here you go i decided to take pics before you people though i would never finish it. This is my first Tamiya kit and i was pleased, i have a few things left to finish, ex. Window trim needs to be fixed up, and a few little things.


sorry for the blurry pics my camera isn't like working right :confused: :mad:

Looks good. Nice Integ-truck mod :hehehe:

Nicely done

Very nice...when are we gonna make the white one now...lol

here is a quick pic of my in progress street astra, what do you think? having 4 exhausts at the back instead of the two side exits

Surely one of the Ultimate street cars !

Wish my first model was that good!

Good job!! Very clean.

Just one Q tho - why do all these so-called "street cars" have the racing interior (rollcage/1 seat/etc.)??? :confused:

ugh only 7 responses, why doesn't anyone like my cars? i never get alot of responses on any of my models.



and to answer your question^^^

because its to hard to do a converstion.

I was thinking the same thing. Even the rear diffuser ? Its a nice model but you should take away some of that stuff for it to be a street car, or add the decals and you'll have an excellent model.

Nice job, check that your camera is set for Macro(close-up)

good job, I see you integra/truck conversion in the background(damn modifiers lol) nice job on the car

well i for one think that this RaceMySS_454 astra is realy well made, i love the chrome style window trims and will be sure to be trying that on one of my many in progress models.
as for the street style, well roll cages and single seat conversions are becoming the norm in the real world in the progeress for faster quater miles.
but all that apart i hope my model turns out half as good as his has:devil:

IMO it looks a bit naked without the decals :eek:

Still a great looking job...one car i wouldn't want to mess with on the road :devil:

Hell yeah !!!!! "nice job" from me mate :cool: :cool: :cool:

I also feel cages are quite acceptable with todays street scene(not always legal here in Aus.)but they look shit-hot.....:devil:

Anyway, well done mate


cheers stump:smoker2:
