My 1st project.. Celica GT4

Sorrie abt my last post... the pics are too big...

This is an edited version... sorry abt the inconvenience.. ;P

Started on my 1st project... hope everything goes well.. It's my 1st trial with putty and brush painting... Hope that everything is going as planned.

It's a Celica GT4.. It is going to be black with 18' Zeit R wheels.

So far, I have finished the interior and first few coats of primer.

It's my humble piece of work...
The pics show fillin up of holes, and the interior...

Pls feel free to comment!! Thanks. ;)

Gloss black primer? ;) :eek:


Can't wait to see the finished model!

Bit hard to work out the body from the pics but the interior is looking very sharp looking....great job on it
:flash:

The pic shows the body unpainted, unprimed. It's moded in black.

Basically in the 1st pic, what I did was filling up the gaps between the different parts.

In the 2nd pic, what I did was filling up the hole for the left steering pump. This kit came with the option for left or right hand drive. I opt for the right hand drive, so I have to patch up the hole on the left.

The rest of the pic are pic of the 90% completed interior. I intend to add carpet for the car... perhaps velvet cloth will be good... :p

That's all for now... mabbe I will post some pics on the primed body later.. ;)

Thanks for the comments..

Here's some pics of the completed engine and some parts of the suspension.

Pics of the suspension components. Note that the brake disc has to be shaved, as fitting of the wheel is not possible without mod. Coils n calipers are painted red to give a "tuned" look... :P

The inner part of the wheel has to be cut. Wheels will not be rotatable when completed. ;(

Yup yup... it's my 2yr old ACER 602TER

Great looking car, love the wheels

Personally I think they make it sit a little too high, but then again there's no wheel gap :eek:

Nice looking shine you'ev gotten on the paint finish :)

The GT4 does have a high kinda look in real life actually

Looks great man... I dont really like that model of Celica, but yours looks great, especially the detail, in the engine.

Nice, I love that engine.. so shiny!!~

Umm... i did played with the though of lowering the car... but as you can see, there is barely any space between the wheels n arc...

I m not a fan of car slamming... guess it's abit too tedious.. :p

Man that is a sweet job! I really like the 2 tone seats. And the engine seems really detailed. Who makes that kit? (and if you said already then I'm an idiot and don't see it :flash:

Just one question. When you say it's your first time painting with a brush, uh, what have you been using? Bombs or airbrush?

Again sweet job!

Thks for the comments. I always like 2 tone seats. Tamiya made that kit and it's a great kit, but not a easy one though.

Well, it's my first serious project after so many yrs of modelling. I brush painted most of the parts. Normally only the body is spray painted.

Hi guys..

It has been a slow kit for me... I m too busy with my thesis... it's killing me... Here's some pics.. the GT4 should be done over the weekend.. hopefully.. :p

Which type of bum should I go for? The normal ones (left) or the darkened (right)??

Pic of the 80% completed GT4... the intercooler n the bonnet has been removed... n tail lights are still undecided.

Again... hopefully my professor lets me off for the weekend... :(

looks real nice. i say go for the ones on the right, im not too fond of the "tinted" look as that was way over done here in my area for a while and i'd be happy not to see it ever again. but if it suits your tastes go for it. cant wait to see it finished.

Go for the ones on the left...the others look like dirty diesel stains !!!..lol.

Coming along well...look firward to seeing it done. Has got me interested in doing mine now:)

I'd say go with the ones on the left. And are you sure this is your first project?! It looks so good!

Right one :)

Great!! I m leaning more towards to conventional set of lights (Left). Conventional lights it shall be. ;)

Ah!~ That was a typo.. what I meant was left.. :)

the left ones are better.. but i think you already chose them!

Great Job... the body looks awesome and the engine is all polished :D

Looks nice! even if it is Japanese :D Sorry, I just don't like Japanese cars much now....Keep it going! I hope your professor let you off for the weekend aswell, because then you can get this finished for us all to see!

Hi guys.... finally I have finished my GT-4. Umm... maybe 99%.. as the decals are not on yet!

Just a few pics of the project.
I just don't know how the dust got on the car, but it sure is dusty now.. :(

Enjoy the pics. ;) If you guys are keen on more, tell me. Thanks for the time.
