Tsuchiya's concept supercar 2004---(long progress)

Hey, I miss you all! Sorry for late updating :iceslolan
This time,I spray on putty and test for the effect of the modifications, and its effect is quite encouraging :evillol:

Other than that, wheels ,rear aero diffusion and chassic are put on. But don't think that it is an original S-class chassic, it was a ______ chassic~hehe~I won't tell you :icon16: :icon16: :icon16:

Rims are from CLK DTM. I'm sure it is the most suitable rim set for this car.
Hope you like it :iceslolan

like the new CLS?

Many minor problems are still left on the body. Definately, more time should be spend on polishing, polishing and polishing. :)
I will upload some pix later of which this concept car is compared with normal S class.

Great work so far.

Sorry to say but like those rime don't really fit that prototype you need something sorta bling bling but also classy IMO other than that it's fantastic :thumbsup:

It sounds good,and reference pix or the method to make it?thx~ :iceslolan

Very cool idea. CAnt wiat to see the huge lghts your going to make for them.

I like it with those rims... :D
Nice progress! It already looks ready to cut the wind and forget everything behind it on the autobahn!

Another one Batman will dream of! :thumbsup:

I think the rims suit the car well, or maybe some five spokes. Anyway, looks good so far.

Thanks everyone!
These are the new pix uploaded.
Comparing with the original Italeri S-class, you can see the whole body has undergone a 95% surgery. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awesome, I can't wait to see it finished!

Already 5 pages big and i had not checked this one :banghead: .
This is a very very interesting build, i will follow this one from now on :naughty:

:iceslolan :iceslolan
Many people have the same response like u,so I will definately remove it.
Otherwise, it may ruin the whole style,right? :grinno:

:lol:




Keep the style! How can someone imagine something else than driving it? I've never thought I could turn my back on this "thing"... or precede it on the road! :D

One of the best concepts I've ever seen! :sunglasse

oh yes,i have found my original progress thread!!
Here's today's work.
I hv spent 2 hours on cutting and fitting the Mercedes logo.
It is defnately not an easy task for me~ :icon16:
What do u think about it~?^^!
http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/64722logoo-med.JPG

nice..i've been wondering whats been up with this car for a while..good work man..

Gray

Very good :)

What materials are you using? What did you use to make the front underbody spoiler on the othe S-class?

Excellent work!!

The car looks great but you did such a wild looking front and the back just looks like the regular mercedes with just a lil more tilt on the trunk , i tink you should have made a more wilder rear , also i think your sides are too flat lookin for your front end. Thats just my 2 cents tho otherwise it looks great, i admire your craftsmenship.

hello friends, I miss you guys so much!
This is now 2005.The project has been last for nearly a year!
The reason is that I have a critical exam this year,so I don't have time to continue the progress.
But now the exam has passed,it's the time to make model!


I have started to modify the rear, and to think the way to make the headlamp,especially the glass.
The rims are from Aoshima,what do you think about it? Is it better than the DTM rims?Let me know. :smokin:

the rear is now still in the initial stage,not very detail yet.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/64722RIMG0591.JPG
a piece of small glass is on.

thx ! comments are welcome!

looks awesome

the project is getting better and better
very cool

So nice to see you back here! :D We missed you too!

The rims are actualy better than the DTM ones, and the extended wheel arches is a great step forward! :thumbsup:
Time to put the :eek: again! :D

Looks great! Can't wait to see some paint on this one!

wow look nice with the new rims and new rear bumper, i thought u have give up this project already!!! good to see u bak in progress

it's coming along nicely. as for the rims, i think the dtm suits it better, it has a more concept feel to them. :2cents:

God I live this thing... PLEZ... put a coat of prmer on it...

:smile: thank you so much!!
I will not give up this project!
the body is very fragile as it is joined by pieces.
it takes extra care to polish,so i am afraid the painting job will not be done soon.
I promise you guys that i will try my best to complete it asap. :smile:

Great job man. Dont worry about hurrying it up. Great projects take time. Make sure to take pics along the way like you have been though. Keep up the awsome work.
Pce
Ryan

i dont know where i have been during this amazingly long build, i love what your doing, keep it up

these are the progress pix today.
I have made 2 sides aero kit and the rear bumper .

God that would be a long ass car, about a foot or so ahead of the car and it's based off an S class right? They are 203.3 in long. So add another 12 to 18in damin.

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/324167benzS500.jpg

I believe MB has simular version out. I read somewhere on other forum and also saw spy photos of it. Your rear and some on front look exact like that concept.

Very nice job. Hope to see it finished soon.

PS
Good luck on the exam. Study well. :D

Thanks DUBSRUS2!
This is a very interesting S-class!
Thanks your photo! :grinno:

i think u can add a mini spoiler or some sort of aerodymanic to the truck of the car, it will look even more cool :smokin: :iceslolan

Yes, something small like from this...

http://www.supercars.net/cars/2005@$Carlsson@$CLSx.html = you need to put it in yourself it wont link...

Thank a lot DJPaul!!
These are all important reference photos for me,especailly the design of the trunk.
I may consider to change the design of the trunk if possible,to make it more close to the new S-class. :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan

New CL series,definately great different from mine.
It seems that my CL still keeps some old Mercedes style~ :sly:

I saw the new S class driving down mill avenue yesterday, no lie, un camoed to, too bad I didn't have my camera. No badges, all in white, didn't know what it was, but now that I see the pics of the camoed one I'm absolutley posotive it was the new S. Must have been undergoing warm weather testing. :sunglasse

Hi guys,Paint job was started!
I choose silver, because it is ''the colour of Mercedes''.
I use Tamiya gross Aluvinium.
The effect was ok,but not very good.
I am sure other brand like Gunze or Testor will give me some better choices.
Anyway, I can't wait to paint it,otherwise no one will remember this project anymore.^^

Another thorny problem is the window.Yes, it is far more difficult to make it well than I can imagine. You can see there are still lots of fitting problems. Thw window fails to match perfectly with the body. Anyone can give me some tips to make it a bit better??
:confused:


God,I have to finish this project before July, in order to join a model contest. :mad: !!!

I read all that topic and I have only one word : AWESOME !

Hi,

with the colour you can see the real dimensions - GREAT !!

I thought this was rather ugly under primer, but the paint really brings out the sexy-ness in the car. Silver was a perfect color choice!

I have one question for you. Why the hell is this project looking so good!??$@!#!?!?! That looks AMAZING!!!!!!! I think it looks good now, wait until it's finished!!!!

Glad to see it's nearing the end. And it is looking great!!

Frank X.

That car will most likely nail anything in the way. :D

your model ust looks like a big time modified slr front with a cls body!!

I was thinking the same thing to myself!!!!! :iceslolan

I really don't know how you could fix the problems of fit with the windscreen... All I can say is... WOW!!! :eek:
