Hope to make it as close as possible to the plan. 80% to the plan is acceptable. :)

i like challenging works like this, keep it up bro!

Great Idea, looks awesome!!

thanks guys 4 the comments.

SH** happened! After 1st thin layer of paint, figure out there's shrink/sink putty. just re-sand and luckily it was just a thin layer.

thanks.

Nice job so far!

Interesting bold design. I like it.

the wing looks great. goes with the body mods. i like the look of the de-chromed wheels and silver body.

This is a very nice design and a great tutorial!:thumbsup:

I hope to be this good one day. Outstanding work!

Very nice body werk and painting. I love the ride height and wheels. Which engine will you use for this kit?

wow, that looks tough! great work bro.

Bodywork is excellent , your execution of your design stood on track..keep up the great work

Amazing! I will be following this!!! I have a 911 GT2 Club Sport road version I am modifying as well!

thanks guys for the comments.


Outpost961: it's a fujimi kit, there's no engine. just try to do custom piping and twin turbine only. really love 935 twin turbo configuration, maybe i'll do just like that.

speedfreak: tamiya 911 gt2 clubsport? really enjoyed building that kit. good luck. :)


thanks

Yes sir that's the one!! :)

Could you give any info on how you built the widebody? I think it is sick and I love the style! I wouldn't do it exactly the same of course. Not even sure it will come out anything like yours. lol.

thats AMAZING. makes my customs look like newb work lol

dunno how to tell 'cause i'm also still learning like others.

But as for me b4 doing the mod, i need to picture it in my head how it should look like. the mod should jive or suit with the original body contour. then i'll check the structure whether it is suitable or not(where to cut or glue -feasiblity study :) )

for body extension/mod, need to think where the frame (using styrene) should be and if possible try not to use too much epoxy putty it'll make ur kit heavy and easy to chip. and sometime putty can shrink.
