Update on wide-bodied CR-X

I know it's been a while, but this is the first model I have done with so much body mods. It seems like after each sanding I find a hollow or it just dose'nt look right. Maybe because I am a fussy pr**k. But I do have to say it is coming along well.
As my job makes me go away on a roadshow with a client every 4weeks for 3 weeks at a time (which involves a lot of driving) all over the country. I get a bonus, yes every town we stop in, I go to the local hobby stores! :biggrin: so I get to find rare and sometimes unfound models in my town, for a lot less than what major city stores charge. Cool eh!!!
So on my last trip I brought a studio 27 harness kit, which I could not find in my home town. (without getting it ordered in especially)
So that went into the CR-X.
So enough babbling, here's some pics.
Comments as usual are welcome.

The belts look terrific! Why did you only put one racing seat? I think it'll look cooler with two, but it's up to you.

it says the photos are unavailable...

Just go out of the thread and back in. Imagestation frustrates the crap out of me. I can't wait for the af server to be up and running.
As for the only one racing seat, I was going for the streeter look.

Just go out of the thread and back in. Imagestation frustrates the crap out of me.Accually, take the .orig.jpg off the end of the link and the pics will work fine the first time.

BTW cars looking great,

Thans for that sk8er, I'm happy now. :iceslolan

That looks pretty good. Keep us posted man.

Looks like a hardcore track car :iceslolan: All it needs is a filled sunroof.

Great progress.Can't wait to see more.

:eek: Looks like some extreme modifications going on there. Looks great.

Maaaaaate,that is one sweet CRX.

Amazing! What kind of putty do you use?

I'm using a combination of 3 puttys. As this was my first time at doing major body mods.
Gunze Mr putty- really awsome, but ran out and I can't find anymore in NZ.
Some green stuff, I've forgotten the name.- sands really well, but takes time to cure and you have to apply with a cotton bud (Q tip for you yanks)
And finally I use tamiya basic putty as it sands really smooth.

Here's some updates.
The snow shovel nosecone has been moulded in and the addition of rice stickers for the first time.
Flame if you want :screwy:

Hiroshima s**t screamer

nice one mate!

hehe, green stuff. thats what the modellers use for warhammer figurines :biggrin:

Still puttying and sanding but I am getting closer to primer, just some small pits to sort out. I've also taped the dual exausts on to give you guys an idea, I know dual pipes is rice, but I think it suits the car.
