Nice, looks good!! Huge wheels & massive turbo!!!

yes sir, thanks!

good job! i'm lovin your work on the "used" rear tyres!!

thanks man, that was a last minute thing i thought about doing while fixing the wear on the tires that i really screwed up the first time around. I'll get some better pictures soon when the sun is out so i can get a bit mroe detailed shots. Im also workin on a diorama for this one

did you did anything to the windscreen? i see some rainbow hue :p really nice effect

Cool build.

thanks guys, no i didnt do anything to the windshield... i dont know but all of my windows come out like that on the pictures... it might be because of the polarizer on my lens.


i'll get some better pictures tmrw

time to reveal secrets!!! how'd u do those rear tires??? hahaha

great job. I was watching the WIP on this one :P

The wear on the rear tires or the rubber on the fender?


to wear the tire i just attachd it to a drill with some washers and nuts and spun the wheel against different grits of sand paper.

the rubber that came off i used to make the rubber on the side of the fender by putting some white paper glue that dries clear and spreading the rubber,


thanks man.

O kool. thanks for the tip!. great collection there. keep up the good 'yota work!!

Im loving it bro !!!! :-)

Really beautiful collection!!!! :-)

thanks guys, just a heads up to be lookin forward to: I am waiting on a set of rims that are pretty closely replicated to the wheels i have on my supra, as soon as i get them i will start building a replica of my car just like i did with my brothers :)

were lookin forward to it!!!

Ditto

thanks guys, im hoping to have the rims in the mail sometime this week so i can start my build. I just need to go to toyota and get some touch up paint with the paint code of my car so i can open it up and spray the model. Only problem is that im having a manifold made for me right now so that in a little bit it wont look like my brothers engine bay does with the crossover manifold...but its not done yet so i guess it wont looks exactly like it..but i gues i'll do what i can with it..or maybe put off building the engine for later while i finish the 3 ferraris im working on (f40, f50, and f60)
