How dare you mutilating a rally car like that.

Yeah, especially the limited edition Performance Blue! :eek:

oh yeah, its gonna be raped and pillaged untill it resembles a rally car no more!:devil:

you could have waited till revell released their focus and saved some $$

Oh my god!

Six projects at once :eek: ! If I did that, I wouldn't get any of them done. I am already struggling to finish one model!

reveller

Ah , well,I m a mltiple-projects man myself !
Join the club!
I prefer to build on different models at the same time, gives you a lot of variation , but unfortunately takes waay too ong to finish one correctly !

Olivier

haha, I think i have like 8 projects on the go right now...
Datsun 510
1955 chev p/u
1962 Impala
Lamborghini countach
Ferrari 512TR
Shelby GT350H
Acura Integra
Lancer EVO VI WRC

how many is that?

well here is my current collection, plus not i photo are 12 tamiya 1/12 scale bikes, 2 revel 1/9 scale bikes and a crappy new celica which i hated the wheels on!:devil: all the cars were built since dec 2002, also didnt include the new focus and gto

:uhoh: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: Do you really have to do that to the focus??? Poor little rally car will be a rally car no more, why, why?! Sniffle, Sniffle.......you bastard! J/k But i would have done it the rally car version. Good luck with it though.

Enjoy your car modeling projects! I'm "modeling" 5 cars myself (the kind that has to be tagged, titled and licensed). :)

i think we dont feel like we are doing anything unless we are under pressure!!! so i can sympathyse with that!

I myself have just decided to enter the v-twin race series next year! 14 race weekends all over the UK! and now have to start preparing my suzuki, estimated costs for 1 years racing are around £18,000 (about $28000) so any sponsors would be great, or i might limit myself to just a few races if i cant get any sponsors, time to grovel to my director!!! lol

Awe, good luck, Chris! I know you'll be busy. Please post some pics. of the race weekend. I'd love to see.

well here is my baby, took about a week of cutting and filling to make a GSXR 1000 race fairing fit my SV650s, looks great now, at least proves i can model in the real world of motors too!!!
getting it sent of for the custom paint soon, cant wait, at the moment its the first sv650 with gsxr bodywork that is also road legal and retains all standard equipment! anyone can throw everything away and start from the begging, i am considering haveing a copy made so i can sell em if enuf people are interested!:devil:

Wow! I don't know much about bikes, but yours is really cool! Way to go!

cheers, that is an older pic, lots more has been done since that one, but its the only one i got at work, its had about £4000 worth of race goodies thrown at it so far, not much is standard now, waiting on an oversized radiator from pace, had to be a custom job. the race exhaust sounds sos sosososososososososoossooso sexy, set mine and my neighbours car alarms off from 30meters!!!! and that was just starting her up, didnt get it above 4000rpm, lol its just such a deep note, gonna have to wear earplugs to race i think!:devil: pulls sweet off the throttle wheelies tho:D

Sounds like you've made some serious mods! Please be sure to wear a good helmet -- preferably a Bell Kevlar -- expensive, but cushions the head. In fact, if you drop it, you'll have to replace it. That's how much it protects. I have one for my autocross events -- excellent helmet to provide maximum protection. I can't wait to see your bike when its finished! :frog:

i have an arai rx7rr, the kenny roberts replica lid, cost £500, so light, carbon fibre, got a nice racing visor in black!:devil:

Cool! Someone has been thinking ahead. :D

chrismcgee, I just noticed something, the brake disc in your avatar does'nt have calipers.
:bloated:

Good luck on the models, the GTO is gonna be a pleasure to see! Did you notice, in the movie, the car had 2 shiftlights! :lol2:

with regard to the avitar, i just couldnt be bothered to draw the caliper, sorry, but as it only took 5 mins im happy!!

Am sanding the gto at the mo, god there is so much to put right!! its a crap kit:devil: but will make it look nice! wanna get some nice deep purple paint

ok here is a photo for ya all of the kit, there is a lot of chrome to play with!!! but will more than likely alclad it all to make it a bit more realistic, paint will be automotive paint i think, not tamiya ts spray.

61 Chevy Impala (OG)

paint the 76!

does anyone have any reference photos of the gto im building, idealy from the movie "xxx", as the only bits i have seen on the box are crap! wanna start spraying soon:devil:
