Progress : 1/12 Mazda/Efini RX7

I am loving that intercooler and hood (bonnet) :eek2: look really good.





Are you going to do a single turbo or twin turbo set-up? And what kinda engine you going to do? I seen this kit and know that it comes with 13b engine. Was just thinking with your scratchbuild skills, you could turn it into a 20b three rotor with a big turbo hanging off the side. I cant wait for some more progress on this. I will follow it like a hawk :worshippy

im might be wrong but im pretty sure the only 3 rotor is the 20b

awesome job like always hiro!!

Thanks for the correction. I just muffed up my rotors :screwy: (not like me at all) But have fixed it now.

I have also just seen a rx7 with clear tail light that I think look wicked :bigthumb:. Here is the link.

If you could scratch up a veilside kit and make the car look like that, it would be awesome as.
But I am sure that with your godly skill :worshippy it will look awesome however you do it.

Spent a few days working on the basic idea for the side skirts, loads more to do yet, but I figured i'd post some progress.

So far it's all carved, cut, glued from Plastic Card

Thanks

Going better and better! :-)

This looks like it is going to be a real show stopper!!!! great work so far Steve!!

The licenseplate says all there is to say about that.
Ricing out Civics is nice, but please leave great cars like the RX-7 alone.

Thanks, but I have just thrown them away, as I was not happy with them, but I spent the day (whilst watching the Live8 Gig) remaking them, they are now a lot crisper and I'm must happier. Photo to follow tomorrow.

Thanks again

Wow amazing work can't seem to keep my eyes off of it. ( the live8 show was very amazing I went to the philly show.)

Lookin' sweet so far.

Some intial work has been done on the rear corners, these will be blended into the body when finished.

The front bumper is in the planning stage at the moment.

If anyone has any photos of the Ings's front bumper (got the ones from their website and issue 91 of Hyper Rev Magazine) it would be a great help.

Thanks for looking :)

looking good steve. can't wait to see more!!!

that is some seriously impressive work Steve!

!I see no flaws!

Steve, you ridiculous man! This is far beyond what anyone should have to take when looking at, of all things, a car modeling website! This isn't just plastic anymore, it's 100% car-guy nirvana... only a bit smaller. :smile:

such impressive work steve, maybe one day you'll do a tutorial on skirts? Awesome job so far!!

aiya...

Nice...O.o

really nice progress love the scratch build parts
