WIP: Supra Import 1995

:) Dear All,

That´s my first thread here, so I'll introduce myself:

My name is Wagner, I'm from Brazil and I'm 28 years old. I've been playing :licka: with plastic models (only cars please) since last year.

Because of my nacionality, I'll have a lot of english problems writing posts, about that I beg your pardon fastly!

That's my model number 5 (since I started doing that) and I wait finish it next week!

Let's go to the photos!!!

First I retired all the injection marks and others things like breaklights and that thing used to open cars doors that I forget the name now :rofl:

I changed the original sound (too small :disappoin ) and the back side, that's the original:

I can`t believe that!!!

Viewed 40 times and nobody said nothing???

Sorry about that but I was waiting make more friends here!

Maybe my english is something impossible to comprehend!

:(

Hi Wagner,

First of all, welcome to Automotiveforums. The car interior is looking good and the additional details like the seatbelts and bigger speaker adds to the overall look of the car.

The number of viewer can be a lot but I think you have to give the others more time because you have to remember that there are time difference all around the world and maybe in a few days you will get feedbacks. For the time being, please be patient and browse through all the other builds in here. :)

Welcome to AF, you got a nice looking project there. You really have alot of detail into it, I did notice the rollcage should be a litte higher and closer to the roof line (Like the real thing), it should not be lower than the seats or it won't serve it's purpose. everything else is looking good, would like to see more. p.s. you english is not great but hey, 1/2 the people here in america these days can't even understand english much less spell with it :banghead: . Hope you enjoy the forum and good luck with your project:)

Superb, great detailing around, the engine and the interior are looking amazing.

Let's hope the end product will be as amazing as the progress we're seeing here, and it will be perfect!

Oli

Thanks guys!

Really I was very exicited because I discorvered this Forum! I forgot the difference of time between countries!

I`ll take some pictures of the car painted and tomorrow I`ll put it here!

Thank you guys! I`m really happy here!

I`m a beginner lika a plasticmodelist and your help will be necessary to improve my technics and my english! :rofl:

Kindly regards,

Wagner

Welcome, and good job!
The engine is great!

Fantastic interior, its amazing as well as the engine wiring. I agree with B16 about the rollbar height but once the body is on, I doubt if anyone will notice. You sure have a keen eye for detailing. And don't worry about your spelling and grammer also, your english is a 1000 times better then my brazilian. Welcome to AF too.

your english is a 1000 times better then my brazilian. Welcome to AF too.

Portuguese :wink:

Looking very well so far. Your paint in the engine bay looks extra good. I can't wait to see what you can do with this kit, it seems like you are doing a fantastic job of making up for the problems it has, and making a great model out of it. Keep it up and keep sharing!

Portuguese-thats the one. Thanks, Will.

People!!!

Here is others pictures!!!

I remade all the exhaust and exhaust silencer. I did that using diferent kinds of drinking straws :grinyes:

Here is the exhaust and chassis! :rolleyes:

Finishing the BODY!!!

I painted this car with Pearl Red Siena Chrysler PPG Polyester (real car paint)! Working with car paints I don't like to use metalic paints because the size of metal in the paint is out of scale, so I recommend Pearl Paints!

Varnish with PPG PU!

In Brazil we have very difficult to buy hobby paints, because of that, we always use car paints! Is cheapest than hobby paints and dry very fast!

The hood is flat black!

Very nice detail work!

MeanB16, Druid, Bigfrit, Suicidehummer, Willimo, Quadzero, FerrariRT:

Thank you so much about your replies!

B16, I agree with you but I didn"t how to change the rollcage because the body of this car.

I think that rollcages in street cars are used more to improve, to appear, to show than to protect because these cars didn't make to put rollcages in your bodies. So I prefered change de seats (the original seat is terrible) and use the rollcage to separate the cockpit and the soud, nitrous part! (I hope that you understood what I'm trying to explain :frown: )

That's it guys! In this weekend I'll finish the Wing and I hope to finish this car!!!

I forgot to mention that all tha PE's , nitrous and monster was made by Alaor our brazilian mage :rolleyes: and you can se his work in www.mrmodel.com.br (http://www.mrmodel.com.br) (ho accept paypal to foreign buyers! :licka:

Have a nice weekend guys!

Kindly regards,

Wagner

I think I follow what your saying, the roll cage is more for looks than purpose?? Well this is very true on alot of show cars, I also understand the difficulty in build an accurate rollcage so I know what you mean. It took me like 4 attempts to finally get the rollcage looking ok in my orage civic HB and to be honest I still thinkI could make it closer to the windshield and roof lines but the car is done so I don't worry about it. I found it easier shaping the roll cage to the inside of the car body and then make it fit to the chassis. alot of trial and error but you can do it if you try, I can tell by your talented ability with your detailing. Coming along great, keep it up!!

Here is a pic of my Eg HB rollcage to give you an idea of how I built it

Hope these pics help!!

Nice job B16!!!

I understood what you said but this rollcage is more for improve the car than protection!

I'll put here pictures of the REAL car used in the F&F movie and you can see that the rollcage is the same that I did!
