FD headlight in progress

I bought Kyoko's FD from ID series. After browsing ID vol.23 for inspiration, I decided to make the headlight in up position. Although the progress is slow, I'm actually working on it everyday. Here are some pics.

Before anyone ask, yes, I do plan to make copies, and make it available for the cost of the material and shipping for anyone interested. Just give me a little time for it.

FYI, Fujimi has done a little more mod on the FD tool than usual, and made the F/R bumpers and the hood separate, making the model virtually ready for any type of modified FD. Down side is that the kit still contains a wrong chassis and the front sits too high. Well, we know that doing only halfway is the Fujimi style. It can't be helped.

Of course there is always this:

But buying is never as fun as creating...

Wow! :eek: Looks good so far! :D

Are you going to have them fixed in the up position, or have them moveable?

Yes, of course I know about the kit, but I only need the headlights, and I don't want to pay 3500 yen just for them. And being an ex resin master builder, my ethical side didn't allow me to buy the kit and make copies, so I decided to make my own. Plus, I can make one of those low rise type and double projector type with relatively simple modification of the stock one, too. :)
