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

MB again,but this time is a S class.I want to make it becoming a massive sport coupe with V12 enigine if possible(from CLK GTR tamiya).

This is a Italeri S600,same kit with Revell and Protar.Overall is poor and with lots of fitting problems,especially the head is really unrealistic.
As my 'CLR' was fail few months ago,I decided to put the original idea on a S class,which is more easy to modify to the shape I want.
The concept car was start.I planed that the whole car will be completely modified,including the roof,the tail,the body lines,panels.......etc.

Now let's begin with the head.It was lengthened and lowered plus a little bit SLR and AMG style.The headlights were new design and I gave up the idea of 4 circle lights in order to make it different from the MB nowadays.I 'm not sure if you will like it,anyway,fedbacks are welcomed as usual. :iceslolan

I cut the roof and install two semi-circle bones to support the new roof.Later I will show you.

Very 70's inspired! I'm :eek: !!!

Funny looking concept.

That’s a very cool project tsuchiya. :)

It first took me a minute to figure out what the hell it was. Looks cool. I cant wait to see more!

cool project it looks awsome!!

Interesting!!:)

lovin the concept! looks mean and very aggresive! cant wait to see more progress!

This is sikk, can't wait to see it finished.

Thank you for your support and comments! I must put all my effort in this car :lol2:

Today 's updated:
Here is the planning pic of what I am going to do later.
I will try to create a cruve line like CLS and change it to be 2 doors instead of 4.It sounds simple ,in fact, it doesn't.I hope I will be success. :rofl:

4 to 2door. Sounds cool. Now will the doors be opening?

Body lines work started!!!!!!!
comment plz~ :iceslolan
thx !!!

This is really getting intresting.

I think you should leave it as a 4dr but make it a stealth 4dr. Like how some of the new trucks have the extra door that can open but only after you open the main door. Maybe have it suicide style as well.

Like the idea of this one, what about going for a custom rear with large ground effect fins and shape it up and under?

Very interesting looking.

Thank you very much Jay!
You have given me a lot of inspirations about the design of the doors.
It sounds like Mazda RX8 which has a similar design .

Exactly like the rx8 or the saturn coupe. Might be cool if you are going to lambo the front doors to do the same to the rear but in suicide style. For realism and ease of use if it were full size, you'd have to wing the doors out somewhat though, like at a 45 degree angle.

First reaction: What the hell is that??? :eek7: Second reaction: That looks like an awesome project :biggrin:

:iceslolan
yes I will! But of coz in the same style as the head.I m still considering should I add a piece of small rear wings or just nothing.



Thanks everybody!

Looks like Citroën could have designed it in the 70's! That's a compliment!
Where are you gonna put the wheels? The arches look so small!

Yes,It is a must to expand the arches in order to put 18 or 19inch wheels on! :iceslolan

Surgery of the ass today.

Comments are welcomed!!

talking about extreme...
i like this...

greetz

Now that its sanded, its looking much better. BTW I hate Benz's but this looks intresting, like I have said all along.

I'm thinking - Batmobile 2004!

Finaly that one Mercedes will look like something good :evillol: , if you ask me every Mercedes should be converted to something that you are making. Keep on.

I'm thinking - Batmobile 2004!


i agree totally! this thing is going to be awesome! i am seeing in my mind maybe some small fins on the side of the rear bumper like on hiro boys yellow celice, except those were in the front! just a suggestion. :bananasmi :worshippy :boink:

:1:

This will be a great build... can wait to see more

This car is friggin awsome! i love everything about it cant wait to see more progress

First reaction: What the hell is that??? :eek7: Second reaction: That looks like an awesome project :biggrin:

Yeah, same here. Can't wait to see it finished.

nice benzo . hey drumcat is that a model car in your sig ?

hard to get bored of such an awesome custom build

my first reaction was that it looks like the Mach 5

I miss you all~However,the progress is very very slow because I am too busy recently.
But I will not give up this project~ :iceslolan I promise.
Thx you all for supporting my effort!!

Looks good. Get to work on it, I wondered where this project went.

looking forward to seeing more and more updates on this.

Thanks for not giving up! Take your time, we can be patient... and according to what I've seen, that's really worth it! Great style! :lol:

Thank you everybody.

Nice look, what are you going to use for head lights?, best of luck on the sanding, always a bit of a nightmare on creative project like this.
Look forward to seeing more

At this point, looks like a manga-style old woman smiling... :lol:

i'm joking... I love the agressive look of this car! And its big nose! I feel less alone not being the only one to have one!!!... :lol: :lol: :lol:

To my point of view, everything's perfect on this car's shape! You're a master!

It scares me...

...The front is evil looking.

WOW.
Great work. I'll be following

i wouldnt want to see that on the road... scary... great job!

Very nice work on the car so far. This project is very interesting. Keep us posted, whenever you have some time.

cool looking. just think if it was real, and you hit someone walking across the street. cut 'em right in half.

Progress pix today.The inital shape has come out.
You can see I have used a marker to mark some lines on the body(looks scary~) ,and these place are what I will modify later. :smokin:

The car no longer looks long and massive if I turn it to be 2 door.In fact it has already exceeded 22cm. :icon16: :icon16:
Yes,I love long cars so much~
Beside this concept Mercdedes,I still have other progress ,like American Pie Vette and customed Impreza, will continue to post on AF in July.
Thanks everybody support!! Your replies give me energy to make more non-sense cars~hahahahhahaha~ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very nice, can't wait to see huge wheels under it.

never thought that it's possible making a cool car out of a s-class ;)

Yeah! July promises to be a very good month!

Will you work on the front wings shape? I ask you that because I find the front wing lines look a little flat compared to the curve that starts with the windscreen pillar and ends at the rear... Having just 1 curve from front to rear would be more mercedes looking, I feel...
But it may be just an impression, and I may be wrong... The whole thing is completely amazing! Awesome work!

Thx a lot labandabonnot!!
You are really an expert!! :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan
Yes I know,I have tried to make 1 cruve from the front to rear at the beginning ,but the effect was not so good. The only excuse I can say is that.......It is based on a S class^_^. Therefore the design faced a bit limitations. And now I don't have skills to make a model car starting with plastic sheets. :grinno:
Anyway, I think the same as you, it would be better if I can make it. :iceslolan Thx !!

:lol: The true expert is surely not me, but you, master!:worshippy:D

Awesome! This car is getting better and better everytime I check this thread! I'm really curious how it looks in the end. Must be one of the most beautifull cars on the board... Keep up this awesome build!!!

WOW!!!!!! thats awesome.
