Supra Progress

Started supra recently,.. just styrened, and puttied the bumper today... Here is some progress! but DON"T Rip on me, cause I Knonw its not SMooth!!! i havn'et started to sand yet, and also, the Squadron White putty i used, was very dry and like clay!!! I am getting some tmw i think!!!

Here ya go....

Also, Color Combinations:

Baby Blue/ BLack SAS hood :)

another.. sry for not uploadin..

You're gonna need a monster truck chassis to keep that thing from scraping! It's a little out of scale.

its not that big, im just zoomed in right now.... also, i will sand the bottom if its too big

i agree, but it looks good none the less

are u basing this on any real bodykit?? it looks like there is too big of a gap but it seems like it should turn out good:D

looks WAY too deep...AKA too low to the ground. good luck with the shaping!

I haven't seen any car/bodykits with such a big opening in front.

are you attempting to redefine Civic eater? I bet in real size a mini cooper could trought there.........:D


the putty work is also really bad, why did'nt you apply it more smoothly..

anyways, I hope it turns out good.:)

It looks a bit too low, however i'm sure its no problem to fix. Keep it up.

These were bad pictures to post. I think we really have to see it sanded to get an idea of what it's going to look like. Keep us updated.

what kind of putty is that???
epoxy?? try using the smooth type

enjoy...
maybe not tho!

looking good, i feel sad for the putty tube though ;)

cnat wait to see it finished

So much better than the other dude who attempted a Supra blits body kit. When dne sanding will look so much better. What you have done so far looks like you've got the right shape and scale.

P.S. Sorry other dude who I just remarked about, no offense.

haha ya, i think it will turn out better... PLUS i am buyin some better putty (tamiya quick type) so it will be better

hahahah bah humbug- Look right above u (supratuner) (hes the "dude")

Thats looking great!:D It looks way better then the first putty job.

better stick a big ass IC in there always kool. my only complaint would be your goal choice of color. baby blue:rolleyes:

use tamiya its very very nice i must say. tmayia clear paint in spray can form. you can get it in bottle too for small parts

-GTi-VR6_A3

but im not sure, because I wanted to do a White Interior, good engine detail.. BUT with Black. that wouldn't work....


Baby blue.. as of now... with a CF/matteblack hood.

I had a feeling you did. And I know it is more than 1 of you.

do anything but the baby blue with black hood that would look like shit IMHO. really hoods that do not match cars look kinda funny to me. but thats just me

Do you mean color combinations or Carbon fiber hoods or both.

CF hoods aren't that bad, IMO

both although i have seen some ok CF. always looks decent on a black car. but a neet thing i saw was on a real car. it was a cf hood with part of it painted very sexy kuz it tied the 2 together...

You should pick your own color, not what other people like, unless you wanted to put pink on your supra and power rangers stickers on it. :p

If you did that we would all shoutat you.

I think I have seen some pink supras they don't look that bad, not best color choice though.

PINK AND BABY BLUE DO NOT BELONG ON CARS!!!!! dont listen to what he tells you about painting it what you want to:flipa: :finger: :flipa: :finger: aww hell i cant stop ya

What can u use to make Intercooler pipes, and other random pipes in engines..... Plastic tree? then how do u bend it....

can someone explain this better?

Im wondering that myself because i too am doing a supra and wanted to know how to do this

plastic tree works good, or the little exuast pipes form other kits, the 300 zx pipes work good

Styrene tubing works very well.

Stick a wire through it thats the same diameter as the inside and is easily flexible. Hold it over a candle for about 4 seconds (this you'll need to work out for yourself) then bend it into the shape you want. It takes some effort to get right because you can squash the tubing etc, but it works very well.

Alternately you can use sprue instead and heat it up and do the same.

GL :)

here r some progress pics... NOT completely done.. but

and i was scared it was gunna be baby blue. dude its just light blue. that color should be okai.

-Acropolis

lookin good

gti! if thatas not baby blue.. than what is!

Did you try to slot the rotors yourself? coulda used a thorough sanding before you painted.

Engine looks good though. :)

i dunno yours just seems darker. but i have seen cars lighter than the one above. i dunno. just seems wierd ofr a supra...

-GTi-VR6_A3

Very nice integra 14! Hey what color did you paint your engine? It looks really nice! Is it brush painted?

the "chrome " like, is TS-30 i think.. "silver leaf".. and the Flat light blue, is from testors "flat light blue"

I really would like to see the progress on the body! Can you shoot us some pictures? You really have alot of putty on the body. Hows it working out?

Thanks

cant wiat to see it finished

If your still wondering about the IC piping, you could try metal piping, i did this on a skyline model of mine and used a scratch built IC. I used a little bigger than 1/16" piping for the IC pipes and a slightly bigger pipe for the sleeve that connects the pipes. I slowly bent the pipes to fit around obstacles and to go to the IC. i had to move the battery and cut the front clip to fit it. You might have to bend and break it a couple times before you get it just right. ill take pics and post them later to show you the finished product.
Heres from the front. Sorry pics are blurry, i know.

BTW, nice intercooler mustang, and Integra, got any shots of the body sanded?
