Any thoughts as to which wheels I should use as I cant make up my mind:confused:
Comments appreciated

I would help you decide, but I can only see 3 pics, rest are red X

Yup, same here. The red X's of death.

i can only see the "wheelswirls" rims and IMO they dont fit. the SAS body kit is a classy kit. big but not too showy rims would do it some justice. but that's my opinion. you may like those rims. also, its a shame that the tires that come with some aftermarket wheels really stink. the rims are usually decent but the treads on the tires look like they belong on a transformer, not an accurate scale model. my 2 cents

What did you use to cut the old ones off with....looks a very clean looking job

P man, just used a new no 10a scalpel blade in my swan norton handle, scored it six or seven times and then flexed it back and forth till it snapped off cleaned it up with a flat file.

As a long term forum member do you know why I ended up with the red x's I followed the faq instructions to the letter but some didnt work:confused: any idea?

will try again with the missing pics

Looking great Neil, excellent work with that rear bumper and opening up the vents.

For rim choice, i was thinking of adding the R34 rims to mine - they look good on anything! But take a browse on http://www.everythingcelica.com/gallery/ Theres tons of pics of the Kaminari Celica on there that should inspire you:)

wow; i LOVE THIS :

will try again with the missing pics I can see the same three. There must have been errors during upload. I can't find them either. I'd say try again, please. ;)

Sorry people I had a little trouble, have redone original post and managed to include pics as well as links I hope they all work now if they dont then I give up for now, I will have to go and lie down as my brain hurts:sleep:

Let me know what you think as now you can see the images one way or another I hope

:shocked: :uhoh: :huh: puke12: :finger4: :machinegu :monkeypis :badass: :aug2:

Attached picture taken by wife and no I dont do all my modelling in this way!! butat least you dont get paint on your clothes this way.

Only a bit of fun, dont give me a hard time about it please!

Modeling in the nude or nude modeling?!

YOU DECIDE!

There is such a thing as too much information.

NIce shoes!

I hope u don't spill your super glue!:eek:

Amazing how that pic (I could have gone my whole life w/o seeing that, WHOA, maybe I am just to american to understand??) completly threw this thread way off base.

And you did not want us to give you a hard time????....ah come on:bloated: this is the internet!! you REALLY don't want to drop the exacto knife now!:silly2:

Maybe you should stop spending so much money on kits, and buy some clothes.

:eek: :biggrin2: :apuke: :apuke: :crying: :greenchai

Why must you burn my retenas!!!??...

hahah jk. I think that the second set of rims is the only set there that suits the car, i really like the rims too, what r they??

WHAT? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT??? THIS MAN JUST POSTED A NUDE PICTRE OF HIMSELF ON AF!!! At this point, everyone has forgotten about his model and what rims he's gonna be put on...

J/K:D don't take it serious.


Verminator, how bout... instead of tryin rims on, you try some clothes on!

We ask for progress pictures and he shows us how much he's grown underneath his clothes...

And now for something compleatly different....

Woah, flashbacks to Monty Python episodes. :eek:

The gold rims don't look good at all, of course that's comparing them to the unpainted kit since the right color paint would make those rims look nice.:D

I take it, you don't have kids? :rolleyes:

i wish i never clicked this thread. :(

:rolleyes:

looks like a nice model you're building!
Keep the process pics up( maybe with clothes on ??? up to you!

Perhaps you could model yourself some clothes using excess sprue and putty??

:D

Just thought it my bring a little light relief, obviously I was wrong. Further pics of model as I progress and yes I mean the celica not me. To answer your? about the second rims they are off an Aosima Toyota Blitz Chaser

That would'nt work, because he would have to go to the hoby store and buy some putty, and if he goes in like that :eek: they'll ban him from the store, so it's not a very god idea...
