Lookin good as usual! Do you sand your putty right infront of your keyboard?

How'd i miss this thread?!
Looks awesome dude, keep up the good work. Just use a nice set of
wheels, that determines the majority of the outcome IMO.

there you go you can see a lil more detail :)

Nice job with the engine. Blue chrome looks really good.

BTW all that putty dust cannot be good for the keyboard!!

that looks great!

Just got around to reading this whole thread :smile:
The Civic is awesome, I really can't wait to see it finished. the colors in the engine bay go well together; which one are you going to paint the body? Also, are the flares just putty, or is there any styrene in them?
Keep up the good work

i really love your civic....
any decisions on the colour?

looks great till now , great sound system

i really love your civic....

yea most likely a deep metallic blue. like my corvette

Can't see the pic's :(

Edit: They work now..

Think that sound system needs to be sanded still on the sides. Everything else is awsome!

yea the system neesds to be sanded but other wise the car is looking great. keep up the good work.

nope gonna be flocked :naughty:

then I understand it might hide your Bends and cracks...

More pics pls.

P']More pics pls.

i would get some mroe but im having some trouble on teh front kit. thats all i have been working on too. I cant seem to find a good way to make side scoops. I tried putty but it looked horrible. i also tried styrene, but it didnt look right either. Any suggestions!?

For such things I use cable strap and cut it , so that it looks good.

like zip ties?

started some work on the wing
Thanks Chris :)

Sorry but I don´t know what zip ties are.

well i decided to start looking for wheels. i have decided on these.

http://www.hlj.com/images/fuj/fuj19209box.gif
Does anyone know what the scale size of these are, like 17's or 18's. Wasnt sure because i ahd some volk te37s but i want some bigger wheels for this like 18s or 19s

Yes I mean that plastic things they would be perfect , you can bend them perfect if you make them warmly.
Btw the rear wing looks really cool

ok kool thnx im gonna have to try that. Also thnx takes like 5 minutes to assbemle :) maybe one for your skyline. the coudble decked ones would look sick.

OK, for your wheels , I would take the veilside

hey guys... sorry if this post is kinda late.. but i really want to know what type of putty is that red color putty he is using? btw.. this car is FREAKING OUTLY CRAZY COOL~! please tell me so i can get them too... thanks~

bondo glazing putty i belive. It is supposed to have some shrinkage though as the liquid part of it evaporates.

nice

IMO, Go wingless. Civic's look alot better without wing's. :)

Yea, I say go wingless. I regret putting a wing on mine..

still not sure yet. I think im going to because this kid on my block has a car like this but black. So i might add the wing. Got the hood primered but ran out halfway threough the door. So i gotta get more

Aren't those 1/24 scale? Those wheels will be hard to install on that 1/24 :uhoh:
