Tsuchiya's concept supercar 2004---(long progress)tsuchiya 05-15-2004, 04:58 AM MB again,but this time is a S class.I want to make it becoming a massive sport coupe with V12 enigine if possible(from CLK GTR tamiya). This is a Italeri S600,same kit with Revell and Protar.Overall is poor and with lots of fitting problems,especially the head is really unrealistic. As my 'CLR' was fail few months ago,I decided to put the original idea on a S class,which is more easy to modify to the shape I want. The concept car was start.I planed that the whole car will be completely modified,including the roof,the tail,the body lines,panels.......etc. Now let's begin with the head.It was lengthened and lowered plus a little bit SLR and AMG style.The headlights were new design and I gave up the idea of 4 circle lights in order to make it different from the MB nowadays.I 'm not sure if you will like it,anyway,fedbacks are welcomed as usual. :iceslolan http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0081-med.jpg A long long arrow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0080-med.jpg I cut the roof and install two semi-circle bones to support the new roof.Later I will show you. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0078.jpg AMG style a bit. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/64722RIMG0076.jpg the other side~ :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan yellow15 05-15-2004, 05:03 AM Interesting project!!!!! I'm sure it'll look good! flyonthewall 05-15-2004, 05:19 AM Interesting! Will it have a glass roof? WIN1029 05-15-2004, 05:54 AM Wow really a cool concept car , Can we see your concept design picture? tsuchiya 05-15-2004, 06:05 AM Wow really a cool concept car , Can we see your concept design picture? hehe~the picture is in my mind~ :evillol: Interesting! Will it have a glass roof? Good idea Chris!I will try it! :iceslolan labandabonnot 05-15-2004, 07:21 AM That's crazy (as usual...)!!!! But that shape is terrific: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0081-med.jpg Very 70's inspired! I'm :eek: !!! Howielong 05-15-2004, 08:38 AM Funny looking concept. Gainsbourg 05-15-2004, 09:48 AM That’s a very cool project tsuchiya. :) GTmike400 05-15-2004, 10:42 AM It first took me a minute to figure out what the hell it was. Looks cool. I cant wait to see more! remus_nl 05-15-2004, 12:31 PM cool project it looks awsome!! tonioseven 05-15-2004, 04:45 PM Interesting!!:) customminatures 05-15-2004, 05:07 PM lovin the concept! looks mean and very aggresive! cant wait to see more progress! Snooker 05-15-2004, 06:11 PM This is sikk, can't wait to see it finished. tsuchiya 05-15-2004, 11:44 PM Thank you for your support and comments! I must put all my effort in this car :lol2: Today 's updated: Here is the planning pic of what I am going to do later. I will try to create a cruve line like CLS and change it to be 2 doors instead of 4.It sounds simple ,in fact, it doesn't.I hope I will be success. :rofl: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/64722RIMG0081plan.jpg GTmike400 05-15-2004, 11:47 PM 4 to 2door. Sounds cool. Now will the doors be opening? tsuchiya 05-16-2004, 08:26 AM 4 to 2door. Sounds cool. Now will the doors be opening? ye... may be ,I am not sure yet.If yes,it would be Lambor style~ :evillol: tsuchiya 05-18-2004, 08:30 AM http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0082-med.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/64722RIMG0084-med.jpg Body lines work started!!!!!!! comment plz~ :iceslolan thx !!! GTmike400 05-18-2004, 08:49 AM This is really getting intresting. Jarrod Li 05-18-2004, 09:08 AM I think you should leave it as a 4dr but make it a stealth 4dr. Like how some of the new trucks have the extra door that can open but only after you open the main door. Maybe have it suicide style as well. lotusmark2 05-18-2004, 09:21 AM Like the idea of this one, what about going for a custom rear with large ground effect fins and shape it up and under? Howielong 05-18-2004, 09:38 AM Very interesting looking. tsuchiya 05-18-2004, 10:09 AM I think you should leave it as a 4dr but make it a stealth 4dr. Like how some of the new trucks have the extra door that can open but only after you open the main door. Maybe have it suicide style as well. Thank you very much Jay! You have given me a lot of inspirations about the design of the doors. It sounds like Mazda RX8 which has a similar design . Jarrod Li 05-18-2004, 10:18 AM Exactly like the rx8 or the saturn coupe. Might be cool if you are going to lambo the front doors to do the same to the rear but in suicide style. For realism and ease of use if it were full size, you'd have to wing the doors out somewhat though, like at a 45 degree angle. Bas Carwash 05-18-2004, 10:22 AM First reaction: What the hell is that??? :eek7: Second reaction: That looks like an awesome project :biggrin: tsuchiya 05-18-2004, 10:30 AM Like the idea of this one, what about going for a custom rear with large ground effect fins and shape it up and under? :iceslolan yes I will! But of coz in the same style as the head.I m still considering should I add a piece of small rear wings or just nothing. Thanks everybody! labandabonnot 05-18-2004, 01:09 PM Looks like Citroën could have designed it in the 70's! That's a compliment! Where are you gonna put the wheels? The arches look so small! tsuchiya 05-19-2004, 05:13 AM Looks like Citroën could have designed it in the 70's! That's a compliment! Where are you gonna put the wheels? The arches look so small! Yes,It is a must to expand the arches in order to put 18 or 19inch wheels on! :iceslolan tsuchiya 05-19-2004, 07:15 AM Surgery of the ass today. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0085-med.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0086-med.jpg http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/64722RIMG0087-med.jpg and put on the hardtop.

Keep us posted, whenever you have some time. dorikingts 06-15-2004, 02:30 AM cool looking. just think if it was real, and you hit someone walking across the street. cut 'em right in half. tsuchiya 06-21-2004, 07:20 AM Progress pix today.The inital shape has come out. You can see I have used a marker to mark some lines on the body(looks scary~) ,and these place are what I will modify later. :smokin: The car no longer looks long and massive if I turn it to be 2 door.In fact it has already exceeded 22cm. :icon16: :icon16: Yes,I love long cars so much~ Beside this concept Mercdedes,I still have other progress ,like American Pie Vette and customed Impreza, will continue to post on AF in July.

Orion37170 06-21-2004, 07:52 AM never thought that it's possible making a cool car out of a s-class ;) labandabonnot 06-21-2004, 08:08 AM Yeah! July promises to be a very good month! Will you work on the front wings shape? I ask you that because I find the front wing lines look a little flat compared to the curve that starts with the windscreen pillar and ends at the rear... Having just 1 curve from front to rear would be more mercedes looking, I feel... But it may be just an impression, and I may be wrong... The whole thing is completely amazing! Awesome work! tsuchiya 06-21-2004, 08:26 AM Yeah! July promises to be a very good month! Will you work on the front wings shape? I ask you that because I find the front wing lines look a little flat compared to the curve that starts with the windscreen pillar and ends at the rear...

Thx a lot labandabonnot!! You are really an expert!! :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan Yes I know,I have tried to make 1 cruve from the front to rear at the beginning ,but the effect was not so good. The only excuse I can say is that.......It is based on a S class^_^. Therefore the design faced a bit limitations. And now I don't have skills to make a model car starting with plastic sheets. :grinno: Anyway, I think the same as you, it would be better if I can make it. :iceslolan Thx !! labandabonnot 06-21-2004, 09:33 AM :lol: The true expert is surely not me, but you, master!:worshippy:D Bas Carwash 06-21-2004, 10:38 AM Awesome! This car is getting better and better everytime I check this thread! I'm really curious how it looks in the end. Must be one of the most beautifull cars on the board... Keep up this awesome build!!! speedstur 06-21-2004, 12:06 PM WOW!!!!!! thats awesome. tsuchiya 06-21-2004, 10:39 PM Awesome! This car is getting better and better everytime I check this thread!

Sorry for late updating :iceslolan This time,I spray on putty and test for the effect of the modifications, and its effect is quite encouraging :evillol: Other than that, wheels ,rear aero diffusion and chassic are put on. But don't think that it is an original S-class chassic, it was a ______ chassic~hehe~I won't tell you :icon16: :icon16: :icon16: Rims are from CLK DTM. I'm sure it is the most suitable rim set for this car.

Definately, more time should be spend on polishing, polishing and polishing. :) I will upload some pix later of which this concept car is compared with normal S class. Spitfire7 08-02-2004, 10:04 AM Great work so far. drumcat 08-02-2004, 10:35 AM Sorry to say but like those rime don't really fit that prototype you need something sorta bling bling but also classy IMO other than that it's fantastic :thumbsup: tsuchiya 08-02-2004, 10:43 AM Sorry to say but like those rime don't really fit that prototype you need something sorta bling bling but also classy IMO other than that it's fantastic :thumbsup: Thank you so much :biggrin: .Anyway,I will try different rim sets and post the pix here asap! :) DJPaul 08-02-2004, 01:51 PM Have you thought about making some custom wheels?

It already looks ready to cut the wind and forget everything behind it on the autobahn! Another one Batman will dream of! :thumbsup: GTmike400 08-04-2004, 02:35 PM I think the rims suit the car well, or maybe some five spokes. Anyway, looks good so far. tsuchiya 08-04-2004, 09:38 PM Thanks everyone! These are the new pix uploaded. Comparing with the original Italeri S-class, you can see the whole body has undergone a 95% surgery. :lol: :lol: :lol: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0263.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0264.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0267.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/64722RIMG0268.JPG Again, thank you very much! :) DJ RaYgU 08-05-2004, 12:35 AM interesting build! it kinda reminds me of the batmobile..neways, are u gonna scratchbuild the headlights/taillights?

Otherwise, it may ruin the whole style,right? :grinno: labandabonnot 08-06-2004, 11:42 AM :lol: Keep the style! How can someone imagine something else than driving it? I've never thought I could turn my back on this "thing"... or precede it on the road! :D Porsche Carrera 08-06-2004, 01:23 PM One of the best concepts I've ever seen! :sunglasse tsuchiya 12-25-2004, 06:01 AM oh yes,i have found my original progress thread!!

JTRACING 12-29-2004, 01:23 AM Excellent work!! Tommycool666 12-29-2004, 02:55 AM The car looks great but you did such a wild looking front and the back just looks like the regular mercedes with just a lil more tilt on the trunk , i tink you should have made a more wilder rear , also i think your sides are too flat lookin for your front end. Thats just my 2 cents tho otherwise it looks great, i admire your craftsmenship. tsuchiya 04-29-2005, 08:48 PM hello friends, I miss you guys so much! This is now 2005.The project has been last for nearly a year! The reason is that I have a critical exam this year,so I don't have time to continue the progress. But now the exam has passed,it's the time to make model! I have started to modify the rear, and to think the way to make the headlamp,especially the glass. The rims are from Aoshima,what do you think about it? Is it better than the DTM rims?Let me know. :smokin: http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/64722RIMG0584-med.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0586.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0585.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0587.JPG the rear is now still in the initial stage,not very detail yet. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0591.JPG a piece of small glass is on. thx ! comments are welcome! white97ex 04-29-2005, 10:08 PM looks awesome remus_nl 04-30-2005, 04:11 AM the project is getting better and better very cool labandabonnot 04-30-2005, 06:42 AM So nice to see you back here! :D We missed you too!

These are all important reference photos for me,especailly the design of the trunk. I may consider to change the design of the trunk if possible,to make it more close to the new S-class. :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan http://www.germancarfans.com/spyphotos/6040710.001/6040710.001.1M.jpg http://www.germancarfans.com/spyphotos/6040710.001/6040710.001.Mini1M.jpg and here's the new design of CL. When I first saw the pictures,I was shocked. Because the headlamp design is simliar to mine! :screwy: DUBSRUS2 05-04-2005, 05:52 PM Thanks DUBSRUS2! This is a very interesting S-class! Thanks your photo! :grinno: no problem :smokin: tsuchiya 05-05-2005, 09:59 AM http://www.germancarfans.com/SpyPhotos/6050503.001/6050503.001.Mini2L.jpg http://www.germancarfans.com/SpyPhotos/6050503.001/6050503.001.Mini5L.jpg http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/45294.jpg http://bilder.autobild.de/bilder/1/45293.jpg New CL series,definately great different from mine. It seems that my CL still keeps some old Mercedes style~ :sly: Peteex 05-05-2005, 02:57 PM I saw the new S class driving down mill avenue yesterday, no lie, un camoed to, too bad I didn't have my camera. No badges, all in white, didn't know what it was, but now that I see the pics of the camoed one I'm absolutley posotive it was the new S. Must have been undergoing warm weather testing. :sunglasse tsuchiya 06-19-2005, 10:08 AM Hi guys,Paint job was started! I choose silver, because it is ''the colour of Mercedes''. I use Tamiya gross Aluvinium. The effect was ok,but not very good. I am sure other brand like Gunze or Testor will give me some better choices. Anyway, I can't wait to paint it,otherwise no one will remember this project anymore.^^ http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1126-med.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1129.JPG I am not trying to use the old AMG rims,just put it here for fun. http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/64722RIMG1131.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1132.JPG Another thorny problem is the window.Yes, it is far more difficult to make it well than I can imagine. You can see there are still lots of fitting problems. Thw window fails to match perfectly with the body. Anyone can give me some tips to make it a bit better?? :confused: God,I have to finish this project before July, in order to join a model contest. :mad: !!! visible33 06-19-2005, 11:00 AM I read all that topic and I have only one word : AWESOME ! sportracer02 06-19-2005, 12:38 PM Hi, with the colour you can see the real dimensions - GREAT !! pre98zetec 06-19-2005, 12:42 PM I thought this was rather ugly under primer, but the paint really brings out the sexy-ness in the car. Silver was a perfect color choice! BlownSS454 06-19-2005, 02:09 PM I have one question for you. Why the hell is this project looking so good!??$@!#!?!?! That looks AMAZING!!!!!!! I think it looks good now, wait until it's finished!!!! blubaja 06-19-2005, 03:10 PM Glad to see it's nearing the end. And it is looking great!! Frank X. KrNJuN 06-19-2005, 08:29 PM That car will most likely nail anything in the way. :D amuse 06-20-2005, 01:47 AM your model ust looks like a big time modified slr front with a cls body!! BlownSS454 06-20-2005, 10:57 AM your model ust looks like a big time modified slr front with a cls body!! I was thinking the same thing to myself!!!!! :iceslolan labandabonnot 06-20-2005, 03:26 PM I really don't know how you could fix the problems of fit with the windscreen... All I can say is... WOW!!! :eek: BlownSS454 06-20-2005, 11:26 PM Hmm, this would be a little difficult, and too late to do, but, try bondo, and form it to fit the window. But you already painted. So it's a little too late for that.. but that is what I would probably do.. tsuchiya 06-21-2005, 11:23 AM Hmm, this would be a little difficult, and too late to do, but, try bondo, and form it to fit the window. But you already painted. So it's a little too late for that.. but that is what I would probably do.. thanks your idea. i can;t use bondo now,as you have mention. I will try to use some pastic sheets to cover the problem. hope it will be fine. I will post the progress later! :iceslolan sideshowscrappy 06-21-2005, 09:19 PM WOW!!!!!!!!! Thius thing is absolutely amazing man. And honestly in my oppinion the amg rims have the best look for the car. And once again this is one amazing machine man, very very nice work......................*Ryan* tsuchiya 07-07-2005, 06:53 AM hey guys,the project should come to an end. The progress was so long . It can be boring when you are facing the same project all the time(for 1 year....). I have already tried my best on it, but it still have many unexpected minor problems. The worst thing I did was the paint job.It looks ok in photos ,but when you see the real car, you can find lots of weakness on the painting. Hopefully,i can get it finished. now,it is 95% finished. Here are some final progress pix to share with you. hope you guys like it. :) http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1144.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1152.JPG http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG1148.JPG Thank again for supporting this thread.(wow.....9 pages now!) Finished photos will be uploaded next Monday. see you~:iceslolan :iceslolan Snooker 07-07-2005, 07:04 AM I like it! GvEman 07-07-2005, 05:50 PM I Like it allot! Sand the paint a bit with 2000 grit and then clear will look super i think!! Keeep it up! (I am going to sand whole my 1/1 car with 2000 grit.) 67Shelbymustang 08-10-2005, 09:48 PM sorry to bring up old topic but i saw this whole thing and i think it is totally mindblowing aweinspiring amazing car your should send it mb fo real i mean that from my heart D_LaMz 08-11-2005, 12:17 AM Looks Great! Samurai75007 01-19-2006, 12:58 AM MMmmm sexy... acemotorsport 06-04-2006, 07:50 AM i just had to bring this one back and holy shit porschenut 06-04-2006, 02:14 PM Amazing, i wish i could do such ambisious projects, i am limited by skils, time and tools to adding smallish bodykits and large exhausts, nothing anywere near as unique as yor projects ESE i luv drift 06-08-2006, 07:34 AM i agree with 67 shelbymustang.... this is sooo good that if you took pictures and send it to Mercedes Benz they probably will base one of their future cars on this. The front looks so kooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the so does the rest of the car. i think one day mercedes will bring out a car like this. BTW it looks like the Benz Mclaren.
