One tough looking build :cool:

What sort of light problems?
Are you using clear red and orange and glueing them in with KristalKlear ??

yeah i know to paint them using clear red n orange...
thats what im doin...

the problem im havin is gluin them on..
im jus usin the plastic cement that i use wif the rest of the model..
is that wrong??
its jus that im findin that by usin that method (btw its the only method i know) its smudgin the lights n looks sh*t...

n to make it more realistic....do u guys n gals use chrome foil or do u jus paint the light backins silver??

plz help
thanx

OK.
You need to by using a white glue called Kristal Klear, it dries clear and wont smudge the clear lights and windows.

The backings of the lights....paint the body with a silver or better still, get some baremetal foil for a better look. Glue the lights on and it will look 100% better :)

Nice prelude. I've nv seen it before.

Too low me thinks :cool:
The more you do, the more you learn so dont worry if something doesnt work out for you :)

Kool Lude mate, wicked stance :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Like Pman says,get some krystol klear for lights, if not, some good ol' white craft glue does the trick. Dries clear, thats what I use, or a dab of clear paint from a bottle...:)

Also, good to see another Aussie,welcome to the funhouse:wave:


cheers stump:smoker2:

muuuuuhahahahahahhaa, looks very cool, do the panel lines in black and paint the front blinkerz just my humble advice :cool:

I think it looks great. Nice ride height and rims.

What I do about the winshield is making tape it in (i know its cheating, but it works). That way you won't get any glue on the windshield.

For the tailights, I use a red Vista-Viz permanent marker, and for the orange i use an orange one. They go onto clear translucent, so you can't tell that its marker. Hope that helps.

man I was hoping to see a fifth gen prelude, since i been looking for one. But your prelude looks good. Nice job on it. :D

does anyone have (or can get) a picture of this kristal klear stuff. i have been looking every where for it and i can't find it. jason

Guy just go to wal-mart or cvs and pick up a bottle of "Elmers white glue" it's the same stuff i use it for my tail and head lights and windows. oh and for the wipers too.

Great job.

Looking good there. I like the red/clear back lights. It looks like the 90-91 ludes. Since you think the car looks plain, maybe you should paint the markers orange, and the fog lights yellow. Just my .02 :smile:

By the way, I built one too. This is one of my first import ones I built. It was actually a rebuild. I got it completed. Stripped the paint off, repainted it, added the side and back kit, lowered it, and changed the wheels and tires. This is the completed work.

The kit already came with a front. I just made the sides and back. This is the kit. Tonioseven just found one (this is his picture).

Very nice, Like that black one... The white isn't too bad either... If you haven't done anything real big yet... I woud sugest some decals or detailing of some sorts... kinda spice it up... Well Nice kit though, good ride:evillol:
