I was pleasantly surprised when the pictures of this Veilside Civic appeared in my inbox this morning. This model is built by David Chan who contacted me to buy the Veilside t/kit some months ago so that he could build a replica of his cousin's Civic Hatch. I was already familar with the real 1:1 car as it was a Max Power cover car some time ago and the pics from that issue were valuble reference when I was building the t/kit. I've been eager to see the results of Davids work ever since and i'm very impressed.
Check out the model sitting in front of the real thing at the Fast Car Mag show below :sunglasse :sunglasse :sunglasse
TOP STUFF DAVID!

Cool re-creation.
That hood looks like a Klingons forehead. Does the car have a cloaking device. :lol:

Maybe they'll make a new bra that covers the whole front end. Better yet, cover the whole car with tape, black vinyl, padding, and cow pattern decals to make it look like a "test mule"... :evillol: it would definitely improve upon the appearance. :lol2:
