toyota celica gr.B

Hi Luca,

in case you need it, I found some dimensions for the Celica although i am not sure they are 100% right:

Rims-speedline light alloy
front: 6 "- 8" x 15 "(only for gravel 16")
back: 7 "- 10" x 15 "
Tires- Pirelli
185/75 - front
215x15 - back

thank you very much Vitan
dimensions are like those who gave me a friend
on the slide bumpers ... you're right .. it is not like that of Makela
for two reasons
I do not think the version of safari is made ​​of composite materials ..in some photos you can see that is made of aluminum ... and the shape looks different ....
I wanted to unite the details of the suspension to the slide to facilitate the work of those who assembles the kit and those who print ... and saw that this particular you will not see when mounted I opted for a classic shape
Tomorrow I put the pictures of the last parts of the car ..
I am left with only the tires safari .. that are making me crazy!:rolleyes:

Hi Luca,

i guessed you had a reason to do the slide bumper it in this way, this is why i deleted my post:) You made it very good.
i can imagine how hard is to make the tires..i can't wait to see them ready.

Regads,
Vitan

Luca, do you have a very good picture of tire pattern ?
I think the easiest solution would be to create a 3D CAD file and to print it.

Hello guys ......... for the tire I have some photos .. I asked a friend if you can draw it ... I know I just turn on the pc:shakehead
are nearing the end of my work ... this is the last details of the model ...

Well guys ...... also all for today ..... I have left only the rubber safari ... I hope to resolve the problem in a week
then I'll do a dry run of all the details ... and I ended

if you have questions .. suggestions or criticisms
do it without problems .. I listen to all

thanks to all
see you soon

Luca

Incredible work, that's perfect creation process ! :thumbsup:
I'm just wondering if the soldering lines on the safari front bars aren't a bit too thick...? :dunno:
My suggestion would be to add some other events decals on the sheet, as Portugal or Acropolis, or even New-Zealand.
Or why not Kankkunen belgian event Belga decals ! ;)

F A N T A S T I C work,Luca!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Now you can clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel....:smooch:

The tires tread it's a "little/big" problem....I hope you resolve quickly, and without further tedious work.....:sly:

Alessandro

I did the soldering lines why pears
this is the master to whom I give the final coat of primer
will be printed ...
then again, primer, paint and clear finish
These steps create thick ... and you lose a bit of detail ...
that's why:smile:

Yeah I had this thought more because of the close-up picture ! :icon16:
I have no doubt about what will be the final model ! :grinyes:

Truly exceptional work!!

If that is the last of the detail works update, does this mean that the kit will be going to production soon (excited!!).

Hello guys ..
I have solved the problem for the tire ..
My great friend has made the design 3d of the tire
you are building .. I hope to be ready soon!

missing the tire safari then my work is done
after the task is the guy who draws decals and photoeticheted
so it takes more time, is a complex kit with many details
but the important thing is to be built:biggrin:
next week we should define this detail
I hope to participate in the creation of this kit
I will keep you informed about the work

all for today

soon with the last piece, the tire safari:)

Luca

Wonderful work my friend, another masterpiece.

I have no words...

Very nice:)

Hello guys!
there are still .....:rofl:
in the next few days I get the safari wheel .. so I can finish everything and send to print

I want to help .... you have photos of the BELGA version and MARLBORO? .... In what I have
do not see the plaque of the rally and some sponsors
if anyone can help me gives me a great pleasure!

thanks so much
see you soon

Luca

Hi Luca, I need to check my hard-drive but I may have something on the Belga one.

Hello guys!
day updates .... sorry for the picture .. changing machine line ....:uhoh:
begin with circles .. for asphalt version .. I did more options that can be combined with each other ..
There will be two versions of the front shock absorbers according to the version chosen ...
the tires for the version safari are not those defiitive ...
must be 0.7mm larger in diameter ..
I kept the ride height of the real car for the two versions
the version asphalt was low as the modern cars
and now we see images

This particular version is included in safari ... but I do not know what is

http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/2849/dscn0206v.jpg

I would suggest this rail would be a tie-down bar, especially if it only appears on the Safari car. Under the WRC regs of the time, & even up until a few years ago, cars could only carry 1 spare. However because of the distances covered on the Safari, cars were allowed extra spares which were generally carried on the boot lid. The ratchet strap would be attached to this bar & then secured to the collision bar on the rear bumper.

Hello guys ..... small update ..
I finally pirelli tire treads!
next week so I can finally finish the tires sending the material to the printer

I hope you like:grinyes:

I have to thank my friend Giorgio for the design and Moreno for the excellent work!!!

see you soon

Luca

http://imageshack.us/a/img703/3521/img061u.jpg

Looks great! Can't wait to see the end product!

Love it!

Will the tyres be cast in rubber in the production kit?

Good evening guys ...
master of finished tires ....:smile:
I can now send the material to the printer ....
the tires are made ​​of black resin
unfortunately realizing rubber is too expensive and in my experience the resin ensures more safety in time .. while the rubber can undergo breakage
see the result

soon with more updates

Bellissimo lavoro Luca, complimenti.

Thanks Paolo .....:smile:
but here I have not done much ....
those are two good friends who have made the design and work with the CNC
but between modellers we help ....:rofl:

Those tires are to die for, and sincerely to me seeing them raw like that they inspire me that they are a piece of modeling by itself and could be collected as they are to take a good place among models.

Wow, those tyres are awesome, a real work of art..!!

Congratulations, stunning work!

Great Master Tires, Impressive work

Hi Luca,

I checked my hard drive, unfortunately the belgian championship pics and so the Belga Celica are part of what I lost two years ago in a computer system collapse...!!
Sorry I can't help, but I'm sure it's possible to find some good references on the web...

Good evening guys
I want to thank you all for the compliments ... these tires have a lot of work but the result was very good

Rallymaster:
thank you very much for trying .. fortunately
some guys who frequent this forum have sent me material for the Belgian version and marlboro ...
thank you so much...
now it's up to my friend who is now designing the decals ..

thanks again to all

I just feel updates:)

Luca

HI Luca

I`m speechless about your modeling skills

great photos:)

I think that this post could sound a little bit selfish, but hey, it`s "my modeler lust talking"

I´m really happy that this kit could be a reality some day, but I think that sometimes those talented modelers like Luca, or many others that can build this amazing projects can`t produce so many resin kits for all the modellers demands...

I've been searching for all over the web for several years for the old Scuderia italia Lab kit of the Renault Clio Maxi of Jean Ragnotti, but is impossible to find it right now. I tried to contact Scuderia ItaliaLab staff so many times that I can`t remember, but I never got a response...

The same happened with the old Audi Sport Quattro from the master modeller Ken of Japan, but thanks to Scale Production re-release we can build that amazing transkit...

I hope one day the old molds of Scuderia Italia Lab of the Clio Maxi and the R5 Turbo maxi would be sold to Reinassance, Reji, Scale Production or Profil24 (bigger companies that could produce a lot of kits) so we can build those wonderful art pieces..

For now I will follow this project closely to avoid this "sold out" problem again...

For Deadmau5...

Good morning!
excuse my bad English ... I hope to make myself understood
I'm sorry that no one has answered your requests .. I have always occupied only the prototypes ..
sales dealt a friend
I apologize to him ..
the R5 clio maxi and have been very successful ..
Who we press the pieces requires a minimum of 50 pieces ...
and for us who are simple modelers is challenging to do another 50 kit
to sell 20/30 ....
but in the near future we will see
for Celica
this is one of my Project of the which I will just me:smile:
for sale I have already contacted a new brand that will take care of ..
I will try to satisfy all .. but with a little patience
this is a hobby for now .. and I have another job that I very committed
I have already sent everything to do just print .. I have some news I will let you know
I try to be fast as possible!

thanks to all
see you soon!

Thanks for the answer Luca, I understand now...
I know some other rally modelers that would kill for the Clio Maxi too je je, so if you produce a 2nd batch surely would be sold out again.
I'm happy to have the chance to build your amazing kit of the Celica Group B, so I will follow this post closely

Thanks again

Julian

Good morning guys!
I have updates for you ...:)
I received the metal parts for the celica ..
it all seems good .. except for two particular ..
let's start with those ...

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1097/metallocelica004.jpg
in some bumper towing device did not come true ..
the detail is very thin and creates problems .. to solve the problem will fulfill the clips in photoengraving ..

Now the second and last problem
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/1008/metallocelica005.jpg

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/561/metallocelica008.jpg
brake discs are oval and are not good ..
I created a new master with separate disk .. so should be fine .. just come see:)
Now the rest of the pieces .. these seem to me very well

Hello Luca !
Absolutely crazy set you did ! I think prices will fall sharply Sakatsu down on Ebay. :) Brilliant! I'm looking forward to have it ! The quality casting is excellent

How did you find someone who do the resin castings, the decals and the white metal parts.
Do you have more addresses for these things?

I do have many years prototypes for others ..
and by the time I got to know who makes these works ...
and I realized something ... quality costs!:)

...and the quality of your artworks worth every eurocent asked in final price, compared to the too many shits, ugly moulded,worst printed resin stuff on the market. ;)
