Affection Estima Progress

Affection estima. Is a kit that my customer ask me to build for him in 3 weeks time, so I have to hurry. :rolleyes:

As for the real Affection Estima look like these:

Rtuned :biggrin:

Epoxy Putty used to do the out look of the body kit. As for Wheels, the customer still not decided to use which, so I have to leave it for him.

The putty look very puffy :evillol: but will sand down in a day.

Day1:

I thought this is a easy project for me, but it's not. There are lots of sanding and carving needed. :eek7: and worst thing is I under-charge that guy... T_T

Yesterday... 03/03/04, I done these up, but still lots to putty and shape again. I know there are some people will not believe I could did that fast job, but is true, I did it. I spend 8 hours daily to complete every stage.

Most of the bigger shape are carved out. The hardest are the front fog lamp hole. There are some pencil line on it, is getting ready for the next day putty work.

Today in SG date: 04/03/04

Another 8 hours again. I think after this... my eyes really need a long break... :p

I primed the the body and the side mirror to see the mistake and the uneven of the body. Everything looks good to me... Now I feel like not selling to that customer. <_<

Tomorrow (05/03/04) will start on the fog lamp eye lit, the lower is done and also to finish sanding the the rear spoiler.
Then I be starting to build the interior and the lowdown in these few days. Hopefully can complete it by end of the month.
Side mirror...only one side, the other one had to re-putty again because I cut the wrong curve... T_T

Today (05/03/04) my head is hurting me, so far I only did the eyelid and filling up all the holes... and :eek: I forgotten to take some pict on the rear spoiler. -_-iii

JDM Wagon... thanks for reminding me, I know fujimi kit need to lower, and actually some of other kit, need to small the wheel arch. :biggrin:
Too bad, I don't have any 19" rims to fit into it, so my customer had choose these 2 rim: Kranze Cerberus 18" (Aoshima) and Work Euroline SUV 18" (Fujimi) to replace the Wisesport Stimulator 18" (Aoshima)

http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Rtuned/affection%20estima/stage1b_front2.jpg

AWESOME stuff, did you break the roof in the middle ?

:eek: :eek: Oops! you got me... :lol: Yes, it snap when I sanding the front bumper. But is okay, I will fix it back again. Thanks for pointing that out...

slk320...Is Tamiya Epoxy putty quick type. (dry in 6 hours) Is alot more easier to sand and shape that the smooth type that dry in 12 hours.

Rtuned :icon16:

Amazing job, you got skills :smokin:

i believe he got alot more cars to choose for the compy....:iceslolan :naughty:

MORE pics!!!

I hate this car but the work you put(ty) on this car is AMAZING' FANTASTIC'CRAZY' great job

Some of the best putty work i have seen. I agree with toyotagt1, I hate that thing you put that wonderful putty job on. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Good luck in the comp, My chances are growing slimmer by the day as I watch you pros throw down some of your best work on the table. Time to kick it up a notch!

Actually by looking at HiroBoy and FOTW project... I thinking of dropping out of contest. But, maybe thinking in this way will make you continue, It's only for joy but rather than a fight to be winner. It work for me and so I continue with this project. (I visit a doctor, he told me my eye need a long rest but... :grinno:)

Here are some pict for the body, it is almost done. (I hope):
The sunroof is fix and the broken roof also fix. I be sanding the rear spoiler tomorrow. As for the interior, a small touch up before posting up.
