In Progress Supra

Hi Guys

As you can see I bit the bullet and brought a computer (all donations gratefully accepted - only joking).
As this is my first thread I hope it works ok - all this technology is scary.
The Supras about 70% finished - it uses the body kit from the Aoshima Veilside Combat Skyline and SAS hood.

My thanks to FOTW for posting my pictures and for your feedback

Cheers

Andy

:eek: That looks amazing.Welcome to AF.:wave: Can't wait to see more of your work.

:eek: i knew this would look awsome from the pic FOTW showed us, and it is BEAUTIFUL, plaes show us more pics of this, and of all your other cars:cool:
EDIT: :frog: WELCOME TO AF :frog:

Welcome!! :D

Great work!!! :eek: Just fantastic! So glad you could join us!! :)

Well this has got to be a first! So far AF has been responsible for damaging many people wallets by buying more models than they can build. But now its got people going out and buying computers and digital cameras too:eek: :D :D :D

Glad you decided to join us Andy;) I've said it before, that's an excellent conversion, very well executed and original.

Darn....that is fantastic :cool: :eek:

Jeeses qrist!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: its f*****g amazing man :D god job...

WOW

that looks soo good, i love it
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME TO AF

Welcome to Af:flash:
Great job on that car. Got any more pics??
Tom

I haven't got many photos on file at the moment - this is probably the first tuner I built - it's got a GTR front end and side skirts from an old Lexus kit that I had lying about - haven't decided on wheels yet hence the different wheels
The paoints supposed to be purple metalflake but you have to look close !When I finish the things I've got on the go at the moment I'll post 'em

Andy

You've got some awesome work there! :sun:

How did you do the head lights on the supra? BMF or chrome spray?

*Stares mindlessly at Supra on monitor*>>>*shakes head in awe*>>>>*leaves forum to ponder a few things*



















Simply amazing! (oxymoron?!)

Nice to have you on board Andy, the Supra looks superb! Great colour, and those wheels are perfect!
Nice to see a passion for modified Japanese motors, even if your choice of real car leaves something to be desired! Hehe! j/k
Let's see more!:D

Hi Andy
Nice to see someone else from the UK coming aboard.
The Supra is going to awesome when finished, :cool:
You will get used to the next question but.........what are those wheels?

the supra looks awesome...

i'm nit picky though, and i noticed that the rims are awefully deep for the car not having a widebody kit, especially the front...

it's minor, but something i noticed...

other than that, it looks awesome...

Those wheels are Aoshima VIP 18" wheels but I forget the name...:(

Excellent execution on the body kit! :eek: Wheels suit the car very well. Keep up the superb work!

Awesome work!

I used Alclad chrome - you need to paint first with gloss black enamel and then spary a couple of light coats of the chrome thru an airbrush - don't spray too heavy or it comes out kinda dull - if it does don't worry just spray it gloss black and start again.

Cheers

Andy

Welcome, Andy. Great models you got there!

They're Aoshima rims but I can't remember what they're called.

To make them a larger diameter I used 19 inch Vienna Kriess (or any 19 inch with seperate trim ring) as follows:-

1/ Remove outer chrome trim ring
2/ Remove the front of wheel which will leave you with a sleeve.
3/ Sand the inside of the sleeve until the smaller wheel fits inside it
4/ Replace chrome trim ring

Hopre this makes sense

Andy

Cool! Veilside supra?

Just for a change I built some rally cars a while back. They're all stock out of the box.

Hope to post some more pictures overe the weekend

Andy

Can't claim much credit on this one - if you can, check out article in Scale Auto Enthusiast October 2001 - it explains all and its got helpful pictures - hard to explain in words!

About 12 years - I'm a wrinkly,

Cheers Andy:(

not sure if n e body else asked this but who makes those rims!

Looks Great! I'm not to fond of the wheels though.

THats one super clean Supra. BTW what rims is it rolling on?

andy, you own a damn nice car there.....that consul capri must be pristine:flash:

Superb job m8, looks the dogs!

:eek2: Nice job!!!! I hope I can become good like you and the rest of you AF guys and gals. Love your 206's :eek:

BEAUTIFUL !!!:flash:

WOW - beautiful work. Those rims really suit the car!

Nice concept and execution! :)

Thanks for all your comments - a couple of you asked about the rims -I'm sorry it's taken a while to reply but I brought them a while back from HJL and couldn't find them on the website.
However via the gift of their wonderful new system I have good and bad news.
They are AOS29169 - St.Louis Bright but they're out of production
Cheers
Andy
