WIP. Tamiya Veilside/Bomex Supra

Couple of days ago I started a new project... as if I did not have too many already. It's a Tamiya Supra which I am building with Veilside side skirts and a Boomex lip.
I have only been working with the car for one week and I am happy because I have achieved allot for being me. I have not applied any putty yet... I am going to build up everything with styrene before I start putting on putty. Well enough talking.. Lets se some pictures.

Taking a break from the 3000gt huh :nono: j/k
Looking great Anton, creative bodykit indeed. Good luck finishing it!

yo man you got some good ass plastic skills, to do all that without putty

Well I have managed to make some progress on this beauty. And she really starts to look like some thing now.
I have been applying putty in several layers but there is still allot to do. I have started with the engine also, but no pics.

Man you should use those chrome 5 spokes. They look awesome! I am in awe of your skills man. It is looking real good. Cant wait for some more progress.

HawT! :sunglasse Very Smooth bodywerk.

lookin awesome so far

Lookin good so far...

looks amazing...i love the deep-dish black wheels in the back!

Looking good so far, which wheels are you planning to use?

Nice one!!... really nice!!

your displaying a lot of skills in this one, im very impressed

Thanks for all your replays and sorry for not answering them earlier.
I wan to use the five spook rims in the photos but I only have 3 of them and that sucks. I have tried to order them from HLJ but they cant deliver them :S


This is a slow project but I am getting there. Made two hood vents, did also make a new rear end. If you look behind the rear wheel you can see that there is an edge starting right behind the wheel and joins the original rear urther back, hard to se in the photo though.

More as it happens!

Keep it comin buddy, looking great. Hood vents look stellar, so does the "edge" on the rear bumper.

Now get your ass off the puter and start buildin sumthin!

Guys and girls I need opinions about my engine... do I need bigger turbos or should I go with these? Do they look good enough?

My rear wheel setup.. the length of the axle is stock. And it fits like a dream what more can i ask for?

What do you say?

I think this look good it finished!!!

This i coming along well,the engine set up look perfect to me.great work on putty and fabrication work on this car.

Looks great Anton! Can't wait to see more!!

Looking good!

I think the turbo size is pretty much spot on; bigger turbos would make more power, but also more turbo lag. You could also do a big one and a small one, to reduce the lag...

Coming along nicely!:)

I like the manifold!

Thanks for your comments guys! I appreciate it! I will go with these turbos then and just make them look more real.
Thanks again!

this project is looking very good

nice work

Please.Does an standard Tamiya Supra include engine :confused: ?

Oo yes it does. But the details aint that good acording to me.

this is coming along REAL nice. I just noticed this thread, and it was worth the look. You are doing an EXCELLENT job on all of the plastic and putty work. Can't wait to see more!

I've just read the rest of this tread, very good! You've got some good plastic skills!

Will you put a wing on it?

awsome!

I probably should not be looking at this, I have not had any time lately to work on any of my projects and this does not help. It's looking great and makes me wanna make some time again but damn it seems impossible for me right now.

Killer progress, I really like it. IMO I am a fan of the single turbo conversion so that is what I would suggest, I have a pic of my back burner Supra I did like this and you can compare to yours to see which way you would like to go.:)

Well.. I have thought of the single turbo. But for a street car I believe the double turbo are more useful. Besides I have taken the inspiration for double turbo from Twinsturbo (http://www.twinsturbo.com/project_cars/) project car. Tanks for your opinion.

Well at last some progress. I redesigned the front end
a bit.. The old one was not enough streamlined. And it
would actually have reduced the speed capabilities. So
the bottom part of the air inlet have been cutaway and
levelled with the spoiler. The rear has also been modified.
The original Supra wing and the bodywork underneath the
wing on the hatch, have been modified to give more down
force than original, hard to se in the pics though.
I have also bought a Sard Supra witch I am going to take
the interior from. But of curse it will be a more original
looking interior than the full racing one.

that is some fine shit you're making there ,keep us updated

Wow, that bodywork looks fantastic so far, I really like it. What colour is it going to be?

And also, your engine pictures are not showing up for me.
