Hi all!

In summer of 2005 I started a new project. A Tamiya Toyota Supra. I thought about some things before I started it and saved a lot of pics from the net. I like come to some decision before I start something. For example what colour want I paint? What things want I modify in the interior? What rims put I under it? etc. So You can see below what I want.

I will paint it Lamborghini Arancio Atlas Pearl paints. It's a cool orange. :)

This rims go under my Supra:

Aoshima Bersaglio Spoke II 19" ( I love it! :smokin: )

Here is where I have been swhered:

I modified on the chassis the front and the rear bumper, the side skirts and the bonnet.

Yes, it's a good stuff. The only "problem" with this putty that You have to wait to dry about 12 hours after You greased it. But in this time You can work on other parts. :naughty:

Hi guys!

First sry that I haven't update the topic since the first post here. I have not so much time to modeling. :shakehead

In my reference pics I see in the inner side of the hood some stays (or props, I don't know what is it's correct name). But on the model was all flat. :banghead: In my plans are an opened engine bay and the hood in flat would be not as good as I want. :iceslolan

Here is my ref. pic:

And here which I made.

I hope You like it. In the afternoon I'll update it again. :sunglasse

So as I promised. A liitle update again.

The shock absorbers. The stock:

And which I made:

I cut the top of the stock shock absorbers and remade the all thing from wires. The piece from brass is 1.5mm in diameter and the thinner is 0.8mm. The spring is made from 0.4mm wire, too.

I think in the end there will be all in covering :frown: but I know there are in their place.:rolleyes:

Like everything so far, good colour and great detail!
Will you be adding a wing? Not a fan of Supras without rear spoilers, my only concern with the project. But it's a personal thing!
Will you go for dark inner rims? That would look awesome!

No. :) I had a dream. It played in the future. I saw this car with huge wing. It was horrible. :icon16: I haven't find any wing that would be seemd better in this supra. The C-West wing (which you can see on the red supra) is good, but... I don't know, yet.

Will you go for dark inner rims? That would look awesome!

It's a good idea! I've given it a second thought. Maybe I'll paint it with semi-gloss black. And in the middle of the rims is the logo of the manufacturer. This will be white with a gold "ß", as You can see on the box in the first post of this thread.

Nice details, but shall we see some color on the body;)
It's also a long progress like my Panspeed RX7, but the good job needs time:D

Keep it up!
