Honda Civic 1,3 1984

This is my first car and I drive it 1988-90. Kit is old Tamiya Honda Civic Hatchback, and it´s not the best Tamiya kit I have built. I made some modifications to downgrade it to look like basic Civic. Interior is mostly scrach built as the surfboard too.

Nordic Challenge II 19-20.11.2011 in Hämeenlinna Finland

Awesome! So awesome! Love the detail inside and out. Really great job making it look like a real, used and well loved car. I love all the interior details, the seats are fantastic.

I agree completely. This model looks very realistic, just like what you would see parked outside. The notebook is a really nice touch too. Excellent job you did on this.

It looks like the real thing, very realistic work :eek:

thats pretty cool. very nice details. hey i see alf! lols

... very nice, lots of details to look at

I love the interior, also nice touch on the eye lids. Elf is awesome, where did you get it?

I sculpted and painted the Alf my self. Eye lids are just like they should be, they needed some modification to look right. I also saw of that little front spoiler and sanded off those side mouldings. Rear licence plate needed a wider hole to the bumber, so that finish licence plate could fit there. Front seats were too sporty model, so they needed "some" sanding. Back seat was too narrow, so it needed about 8mm more. Door trim panels, well they were just ugly so I made new ones. Underframe is stock except, exhaust pipe and gear linkage. The muffler is hangin with little O-rings.

Hello Petri,

that model you built is a little gem! I love, simple as that. Great work, immaculate attention to detail and with just the right amount of weathering.

Oh.. and this must be the first ever WINDsurfing themed model I have ever seen!

Awesome!! i'm sure that you build Military models too, isn't it? Looks fantastic, but maybe the paint is "too new" for the res of the car. But hey!!! My wish to buil a model like that!!

Keep up those works please. Awaiting to see another one...

GREETINGS

Great job on that hatch! Sure those tires were near the beach. And all that stuff loose inside of the car looks great. I can´t imagine myself working on those tapes/cassettes.

I don´t built military models, but i love those technics. I really tried to paint it less glossy, but didn´t quite succeed in that. :headshake
C-Tape = High tech:sarcasmsign:

fantastic,cool,awesome...

excellent !! From car to details, everything is very inspired and very well done. :thumbsup:
A great flashback in the 80's. :)

Amazing build.

It looks absolutely real and convincing. I love the little details you've added. It really sets this build apart.
