Completed : First Plastic Model; Honda Civic

Hi, i have finally come across the completion of my Civic. This was my first try at Plastic Modeling, i have to say this is awesome. Did a few modifications to this car, couldn't help it. I fitted some Recaro's in and modified them, i did a Type R grill, and got rid of the lower half grill. I had a few screw ups, but i guess thats just part of it and i will learn from them. Next project will be a Tamiya R32, i will try to bring this model to a whole other level, with even more detail :iceslolan

Enjoy!

For now lets just say its got a Camber Correction kit thingie, which reduces the negative camber :screwy:

Thanx everyone, i will start my R32 in a while, kind of waiting for summer to come so i could paint outside, this whole painting in my basement thing is too stinky. So yea, I already did a few things to the R32, but i wont officially start it til lets say, SPRING...thanx for the comments guys :p

Oh yea, i am jsut wondering how did you make that front lip??? IT looks very nice



DID you paint the headlights?? They looks like they're tinted!

Well, the front lip was stock, it looks different right!, i thought so too...

i painted the insides of the lights , then painted the bulbs black, making the chrome reflect the black, giving it a tinted look, the lens are still the stock way, all i did was paint the trim black also...

wtf??

Wait, are you saying u got it with the model?

damn that's a nice model... dunno how i missed this post... good job overcoming all of the problems, ended up lookin 10x better than my first model great job...

Oh want,nvm about my last question!

I looked at the box, and in fact it looks like the "lip" is on the bumper already

Yea the lip comes molded...

Very JDM! Very cool. Awesome, looks soo damn clean, love it.

Nothings wrong with some positive camber angle. Look really well done for a first model! Let's see what you can do to your R32.

Im doing a civic hb the same color as you,jdm also

P']Im doing a civic hb the same color as you,jdm also

Kool, believe it or not, i now regret getting the coupe, i should've gotten the hatchie :disappoin

I have both...the coupe was rice...now hb will be nonrice

Man, now that im reading my manual for my R32, i noticed how suphisticated this model is :eek7:

its not the stock one, its a Racing edition one, with roll cage and the whole nine yards :evillol:

Good work!

I love spoon tuned cars!

About the camber, I shaved flat the part where the wheels glue on. It seemed one side of the mold line was raised over the other, in turn giving it camber...

I think i am going to rebuild my civic coupe in spoon style too.

First model? :screwy: Damn, i hope mine 10th will look like that. My first looks like taken out of garbage :disappoin
Yours is just cool :smokin:

Damn thats a nice looking Civic ! :smokin:

Did those rims come with the kit ?

']Damn thats a nice looking Civic ! :smokin:

Yea, Its the Revell Tuner Series kit,

Very cool! I love it. I dig the Civic coupes, since I've got one and all... plus, I think their lines are a lot cleaner than the hatches... I think the last (only) hatch that looked good was the EG. I built a similar Revell kit, but silver and not yellow. Looks fantastic! Great work on your first model, I can't wait to see your second... third... and more! Your work is top notch.
