S.A.S. Veilside Civic coupe ongoing progress thread.

Hello. I decided to work on this kit as I find it very attractive. Thanks first of all to Chris for providing such quality in his transkits :sunglasse!! I am going to paint it in a color very similar to the Pewtery-silver that Veilside uses for some of their vehicles. Wheels will be 17" XS-Tuning wheels as shown. Thanks for looking :smile:.

looks great, cant wait to see it painted

looks good...

Cool, now all it needs are some apex N1 style mufflers to fill those exhaust cutouts in the rear valence. The kit exhaust is nothing but rice-cannon attached to stock sized chrome exhaust pipe.

Antonio,
It's great to see something coming from your workbench again, I will eagerly await every progress update to this thread :)

Thanks Ray!! I have about 15 projects I'd like to finish up as I find the time! I have abour 20 more I'll probably start first though!:p Things are kind of hectic for me now but I build to relieve stress!! :screwy:

i wonder how long itll take chris to start molding rims *hint hint*... naw, i know you have a lot going on chris, take your time...

the model is looking badass right now... the first civic i've seen with an SAS transkit on it... great job

Not a big fan of a veilside kit on a civic. But that S.A.S kit looks well made.

Looks great so far.

Great job. Very nice use of the transkit. Should look awesome with a couple of nice little mufflers ;)

looks like a good project.

I agree Rims would be great!!

Looks like it is going to be a great model.

About time someone made a start on this t/kit. Cant wait 2 see more!

I love the Veilside stuff, I love this transkit. I have the transkit, but not the 1/25th kit! :disappoin Looks like I'll have to do a bit of a conversion of the transkit onto the 1/24th Fujimi kit.

Can't wait to see your finished result.

looks so sweet, you definately need a colour that will show off all the curves. a paint that can show light and dark realy well.
it has to be a pearl or metalic. cool cool project. cant wait to see more.

im having the small colour choose problem for my SAS coupe civic. its been green yellow and now in primer LOL was thinking a purple/blue silver

go veilside go veilside go veilside


looks cool can't wait to see him painted! :bigthumb:

HB, I say do a color not seldom seen on AF, go for something that says, HEY! Look at ME! Like, flourescent colors, something real bright.

Looks pretty good. Keep us posted.

Man that is one rude body kit.Very in your face.

Great car I thinks ,for the color, blue silver

looks sweet and thx to chris for a GREAT transkit

Hi. the coupe has been painted and so has some of the interior; XS Tuning wheels will be used for this project:).

Thanks for looking.:)

WOW. That is coming along nicely. Can't wait to see this one finished. :) by the way, where did you get your XS wheels from?

That is one 'sick' Civic, Great Work !! I can't wait to see progress on it.
Are they photo etch badges on the back of it?

I'm waiting for my first order from SAS and following this thread is making the wait unbearable. They look like great quality transkits?

I bought some pearl powder from HLJ that works great, just add it to your paint before you airbrush. Perhaps a clear coat with a pearl effect would be different?

Rob

Thanks guys! :) I get them directly from the company's website because they have free shipping.
I have been thinking about getting some of that pearl powder to try out on a kit one day. I don't have photoetched badges for it but it would be nice!! :) Sorry about the crappy pictures but I promise that the finished pics will be better.

looks nice. where can I see the purple one in your sig?

i've been trying to get a job with XS Tuning building their website... but the guy with the email on the page wont reply... :\

looking good tho, i'm liking the color

dude that colour is totaly amazing. light and dark are shown perfectly!
couldnt have chosen better myself. heck god himself couldnt have chosen a better colour! 10/10 :sunglasse

You have to get some of the pearl powder. It is SO easy to use and comes in a great selection of colours. I will post a pic of my GT3 I'm working on when I have some photos. It's painted Testors CheZoom Teal Pearl with Red Fine grain pearl powder added. The colour is amazing.
Anyway give it a go sooner rather than later.
Thanks
Rob

Superb :)

Superb :)
Well said! :D

I just ordered one of these body kits from sas.. its good to see a thread about it .. Awsome Job!!!

Lance

i am also planning on a civic coupé with this transkit. This one seems to turn out real good!

Looks real nice Antonio, i'm very keen to see one of these built. You guys are much more likely to get one finished before i can. I'm very pleased that the hood has turned out great, when i made the original i didn't even have the time to prime it before making molds to get copies done in time for release at show.

Superb :)


my thoughts exactly :thumbsup:
