Subaru project progress...

Hi all! I decided to build my Subaru after reading about P-Man's and Daggerlee's. I just started this past Sunday and have the interior and some of the bodywork started. Rolling stock so far is a set of 17" BBS rims from Fujimi. They don't look too bad since I painted them Gunmetal(ain't that the coolest color?!) I'm going with Tamiya Chrome Yellow so far but who knows where the primer coat may take me?! The front bumper has a piece that fits over it; it's not too bad after it has been trimmed and some putty applied to smooth it out. I did this because I'm gonna try to fit an intercooler behind the bumper. It's kind of hard to tell, but I lowered it a little in the front to make it look a bit better:)

Is that pic the best you can do???:(

C'mon dont tease us;)

Yes u will obey my demands for more pics!!!!!:finger: :D :D :D

Looks great, the whhels look nice on it.

It looks like you have painted the body already, the plastic is very shiney! I think silver woul actually look great with those rims.

A Scaleautostyle body kit would suuuurrre look great on it;) ;) ;) :D

Audi?

LOL...Another one to add to the list of WRX's being built !!
Looks good so far...hope to see it finished soon. Mines come to a bit of a stand still while i try and find pics of the inside :(

Audi? It's been "almost finished" for about two years. I want to lower it a little but the suspension is a little weird. :bloated: I thought I would be able to apply the primer to the WRX but I stared at it and then picked up the Dremel so I could open the hood vents; then I added a little styrene to the bottom of the front bumper:rolleyes: ; I wanted this to be a quick project but you know how that goes!!!:cyclops: I have decided to paint it Indy Silver...for now...

I'm sure your skilled enough to make one.

I have a couple of Impreza plans and ideas for the future including the Cusco Imp, The STI Electra One and a road going 22B using the Tamiya rally car and a fujimi coupe.

kewl! nice paint job! nwayz don't lower the audi that much, cuz it might look a little too weird. remember it's a rally inspired car! "hint-hint":rolleyes: lates...

Haha, welcome the family? :D That's looking good, mine is in silver too. I've got some 17" on there as well :D

P-man - yeah I had trouble masking like the instructions said so I just sprayed my interior semi gloss black. If you find any pics of the interior let me know and I may redo mine.

lol that's the way to go!! it would be so much better if i had some spare Tamiya STi seats to put in there :(

I looked at the seats and acted like I didn't see the color diagram! I thought I was gonna paint my WRX yellow and thought it would look cool with red seats :rolleyes: Now the car's gonna be Silver; oh well!!!

everytime i come in here im amazed by yall work guyz,ima big time rookie on this :'( so these projects look hella sweet ! (especially that subaru)

I didnt, that's why i'm building my own.;)

Any color suggestions for the car at the beginning of this thread? Silver and white are already taken by two fellas that really know how to model!;) ;) I might not use your suggestion but I would still like to have your opinions:confused: :)

Here are some pics after the paint was chosen.

A yello imp, cool!..Good choice

Now I must wait for my Gundam markers to arrive from HLJ so the panel lines can be done; they're a MUST on that bright body! I've been to every hobby shop within 20 miles and called every one I could find but no Gundam markers!!:eek: :eek: Oh well! I can work on finishing my R-33!

I think the yellow looks darn neat :cool:

Wow, i really like that yellow on that imp:D ... maybe i will have to do one myself, and come up with my own original colour!?
