Hi. This is something I was working on a while back and recently found another donor body (Thanks Byron!!! :smokin: ). the suspension wasn't lowered so I added some Vienna Kreis wheels to fill the guards. Seats are SAS Brides modified to fit the tiny interior. paint will be some shade of green as originally planned. Brakes are from Fujimi.

:lol: 4:30pm; Your not the only one anxious as h$*&!! :lol: Aoshima did a really nice job with that body kit, seriously. Its very well done, can't wait to see the green you've selected:) I wonder how the GT4 steering wheel is going to look like, oh boy! Imagine if it comes with a clutch :naughty: Soo much fun:)

Did you lower that RX7? Ride height looks perfect. And the wheels turn :eek: I wish the wheels in my model's turned.:( So then i could play with them and take pictures of them drifting:lol:

Nice!

Those bubble lights are going to be great! I think they are way better flip-up substitute than the sleepy eye business. This whole car is gonna be mad hot, dare I say, Tonio C:sunglasse :sunglasse LNESS? Can't wait.

And it seems waiting on GT4 is a common theme here today.

those curves are nice.............. :rofl: :rofl: the wheels look good too lol

:You mean the Driving Force Pro? The official GT4 wheel? I have that, No clutch :( It's a great wheel but takes alot of gettin use to.


Awesome model BTW tonio, I love that interior and the rims look awesome on that car!!!

Nice Projectors, They should look well with the whole bodykit theme. Can't wait to see this one finished just like you.

Heh, thanks guys!:) I'm in GT heaven!! I'm also working 2 jobs at the moment but I'll still try to progress on the model building since you can transfer up to 100,000 credits and 2 licenses from GT3. Hope to get this one painted maybe tomorrow.:sunglasse

:bigthumb:

Looking awesome! BTW, I received your package yesterday. Thanks!

Hey, nice work there Tonio........for a GT4 addict.....lol....

The jury is still out on the rims, but that's just me.....

Very cool stuff!

FD3S is the manufactuer code for the 3rd generation RX-7. Much like someone would say R34, R33 and R32 to distinguish the different bodystyles of Skyline.

Thanks nis.k.a. for getting the older folk up to speed. Nice build by the way.

I thought it was the name of the chassis?

Same thing different words.

Looking good...and so is the model!

Here's a few crappy paint pics...GT4 is killing my builds!:lol: The paint looks a lot better in person but at least it's progress:).

Nice paint!!! I know how you feel! ahhh GT4:)

looks great Antonio!! glad to see you are bak at it!

Nice paint. It resembles a color Mitsubishi had a couple years ago. Really cool color in person.

Keep up the good work. Is that an S15 I spy?

Thanks guys:) There's a thread about the S15 somewhere...

Still waiting for GT4 here dammit!
But I just got the GT force wheel and that has made GT3 fun again. Great looking FD, I hope GT4 dosen't get to much in the way of this project.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Can't wait to see more.



PS Does anyone knows if there is a GT4 for PC?
Thanks

NO! Only for PlayStation 2

Hi. My thumbs are sore from GT4 (59.4% completion rate) so I figure I'd resume progress on this one...

Looks like scale snow...
did you use a base color under the green?

:lol: It was sitting around on my monitor for a while. I used grey primer under it. It's now been wetsanded and had another coat of clear added. Next is the CF hood if I can get it done right.

Howdy. I'll have updated pictures soon hopefully. I got another coat of clear on the paint so it looks a lot better now. Hopefully this one will be finished within the next week or two.

Mister Seven, that is one dusty car!

Stop playing GT4, let Bart Spec (B.SPEC) take it over from you for a while so you can work a little bit.

Oli

:lol: GT4's been put on hiatus! I have my dining room table covered with about 8 active projects at the moment so hopefully I'll have projects rolling on a somewhat regular basis!:sunglasse
Here it is at the present time...

Nice Paint.. I'm loving the work!

I got another camera; nothing expensive or fancy but enough for a progress pic...

looking good!

Thats a sweet paint job!

You know tonio's got all the bomb frostings!

:lol: Thanks guys! I had to rework the tops of the seats so that they wouldn't push the body up, thus giving the ride height of our Chevy Blazer... (the dust was removed before replacing the body :icon16: )
