Cant do much untill i get some more paint for my 206 Pug...so i thought i'd start another project using the wheels from the Pug. :biggrin:
I've always been a fan of this car and looking forward to building it.
Will need a little bit of lowering for the look i will be looking for.
Any comments welcome. :)

Hey I didn't realize that engine had a motor; there was one in my hobby shop for a while and I suppose I should have picked it up. The paint, of course, is immaculate. That thing is gonna be slick, P-man, looking forward to what ever you have in store for it.

Its not painted yet !!

Its not painted yet !!


:sly: You're kidding right? That looks great.

Can't wait to see it painted. :eek:

i thought it was painted also

Jigga What thats not painted holly shiznit!!!!! ANyways you should add an intercooler to it so it can look like the Celica ALL TRACK and with your skills P-Man its going to be the shiznit. I have the same kit (TAMIYA RIGHT) with the rims from the PIAA Accord but i havent had the time for it. Im going to keep an eye for this thread.

I have to say that it is a very nicely finished mold....One of the best i've come across.
Almost seems a shame to paint it !!

Seriously! There must be no mold lines on the thing whatsoever. That's just incredible, considering the complex curves. Man do I ever feel stupid now! I guess I really should have picked one up....

You should just paint it Metallic Black :)

Shiney!! Well, what color is planned to be laid on this bad boy?

No need to feel stupid.....i would have said the same now that i've looked at the pic.

I'm thinking of leaving it black as a nice shiney paint will bring out the nice lines of the car

That looks unreal in Black with the white wheels. Keep it like that with a big intercooler.
I'll be following this one!

coolness, not a kit you see often! i've always wondered about the potential of these cars!

Good project, will you the WRC wing put on?

Hey I didn't realize that engine had a motor

LOL :D Surprised nobody else noticed that one ;)

Looks wicked even unpainted - I say stay with black paint and white wheels.

The famous P-man shine, even without paint!... lol!
Oh please, don't put wings on it! Sure the car looks best like it is! I've been surprised not to see more of this kit built here, so your project is welcome...
I'm already preparing my vote for the best model of the year! lol!

He really is back then!

indeed. with a cool project to boot. I want to see some engine mods here. any chance Pman?

Good project, will you the WRC wing put on?

Dont know yet....i'll make up my mind at the last minute to see what it will look like

look nice prodject to me

Good choice of wheels; I really don't like the stock ones. I say go with the rear wing because I think it would look odd with the aggressive front end and nothing to balance out the rear styling.

I missed this how? P-man, is the motor in the celica already a turbo? Adding an intercooler to a N/A motor would be, well, stupid. I've never had this kit, that's why I'm asking. The pugs wheels look great, but i'd suggest a bright blue, like on the calsonic gtr you built, but that's my opinion. Hope to see more soon.

The car is turbocharged

Hey, can't wait for this one. Back to the wing, put it on IMO. If you don't want a wingd version, buy the SSII variant. I have seen a lot of 1:1 versions buzzing around my area and they look pretty good with the WRC wings on.

Cooool project!! Imo you shouldnt add the wing

Niiiice

It's not really a WRC wing. They're just spacers that you add to the original spoiler. Toyota charges an arm, a leg, AND a kidney for these things too... :mad:

clem..

I think it looks perfect the way it is, wingless. Then again, can we see a pic with a wing.

Looking mighty fine so far :)

^ Here is mine with the wing. (More pics here : http://www.spc.org.uk/toyota/celica-gt4.html)

Thanks Steve...i've always been very keen on yours after seeing it done. Hopefully will turn out just as good

Sweet car I have been following your 206 and you build some sweet rides.

Off to a great start!!!:)

Put the wing on Warren, it looks so puny without it! Specially with those wheels!
Great project, you'll really enjoy it! Just watch the fit of the wing, someone pointed out mine didn't quite sit right!!! Now who was that man...! :mad:

very cool project!!!!

any updates yet :)

awesome car to build! i think it will look great all black but would look just as good pur ultra white. will still accent the lines nicely!

Updates?!

any new updates as of yet?

any need to bring up a 4 month old thread ?

Pman don't do any model anymore I think..

looks good with those weels!! ;)

Might look good in red or white too

Well, after months of doing nothing on this kit i finally have got it out and started to build again after moving and unpacking all my modelling gear again.
The body has been sanded and over the next few days will be primed and painted.
Other parts today have been removed from there sprue's and sanded ready for painting.
So far a nice kit. Usual good detail from Tamiya with no problems so far. Seats needed abit of work as they did have a fair amount of flash on them.
Another update when the body is painted

Cool Celica P-Man. I must have missed this one the first time around. What kit is this and what wheels are you using? Marc

The kit is from Tamiya.
I was going to use the wheels left over from the Pug i finished but i may change them to something different.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/1PMan/GT4.jpg

Can't wait to see this beauty done!
Hope you find the time for it.

i think the wheels look cool on this.....

Nice to see you back building agian :bananasmi

God...i cant beleive what 4-5 months of paint sitting in jars does :eek7:

Seemed to spend all morining trying to get lids of jars and stirring them :uhoh:

Progress from PMan again!
A little early for christmas wishes coming true! LOL
Nice progress so far. To bad that we have to wait a little more for that legendary & blinding paint job, well just a few days not months I hope. :p

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/1PMan/Dscf3176.jpg

That intercooler looks very good!!! Keep us posted. :sunglasse

Looking good Warrren. For sure the wretched kit wheels will need to be replaced with something.

ahhh i waited for this moment for a while, christmas is early this year!!!! great work pman as usual!!

I like it...THe paint is Very Shiny and the rims go with it outstanding

Cool Warren :sunglasse , good to have you back with us !!!

Mike :smokin:

Nice progress. Verry clean. Hope you find the time for some more.

Todays was finishing off the interior/engine and underneath.
Test fitted the body for a final look before the body will be sanded and painted.

Good to see you back to the table!!:sunglasse

:iagree:

Good to see you back on the board :)

Excellent stuff as usual Warren - good to see you back

That model is amazing, just out of interest how long does it take you to complete somthing like that?

Most times all going well about 4-6 weeks. This model has taken me all year after taking a break from AF and modelling

Any updates yet? :biggrin:

Will have some pics up tomorrow of the painted body.
So far this week has been spent sanding the body, primming it and painting it today in 5 coats of gloss black.

Worth Looking forward to !!!

Mike :sunglasse

Heres the body painted.
Paint is Tamiya gloss black.
Body has had 5 coats of black and i'll allow it to dry for a week before it gets a polish with some compound and wax.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/1PMan/Dscf3218.jpg

Gah, still don't know how you get paint that shiney. Guess having a career that kinda involves paint helps, eh? Great shine.

*fixes hair in the reflection* Very nice. Sooooooo shiny.

Still has tha PMan shine :thumbsup:

Perfect Paintjob!!

Dang.....still have the magic touch.

Looking awesome.


Wanna re-paint my G20? I doesn't really need it but the P-Man shine is so nice!

Every model you build PMAN just seem's to get better and better.

Maybe you should change your nick name......into Shinyman!! :sunglasse:

Wow !!!

A year off and the PMan has not lost his touch :)

I only can say WOW!:smile:

Update.
Body has been polished and few other bitS added today.
Not sure what i'm going to do about wheels now. Going to see what suits it best.
Finished spraying the rest of the parts like the rear wing and morrors etc.

Man, I need to get this kit, cause my Trueno is looking for a nice 3SGTE engine. Plus this is great kit form what I've heard.

P-Man, how's about the white PUG wheels?

P-Man, how's about the white PUG wheels?

I was thinging about using them but might go to a "bling bling" look

That looks SWeeeeet!!!!

THAT IS SOOO SHINY :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

That P-man shine is back with us, sweet as usual warren !!!

Mike :sunglasse

Looking Mighty Nice. I think a set of bronze wheels would go well with it.....

Finally made up my mind on wheels. Had to lower the car a little by cutting a small amount out of the shocks to get the right height. Rear wing and front lights added. Bloody things were a pain to get right :disappoin
Just a few bits and pieces to add, a final polish and it will be done. :smokin:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v60/1PMan/Dscf3261.jpg

Looking real good but that's no surprise.


Are those Gartmaier, Pleasure....?

Whoa, now that is a serious looking Celica!
Great stance and choice of wheels.

Looking Cool :)

Cool! :sunglasse

Damn nice work!!
