Newbie here...pics of my Focus Tuner

Here's my Tamiya Focus done as a phantom Saleen Focus. Decals were borrowed from the Revell Saleen Mustang CV, matching the Focus fender contours quite well. I used Aoshima 19's (wish they weren't OOP). Interior basically box-stock, w/some Pegasus woofers added in back. Paint is a combination of Testors enamels, starting w/an orange base (Go Mango) and covered w/Turn Signal Amber, pearl powders and clear. Rockers/trim accented w/Scale Motorsports carbon fiber decals, headlights are MV lenses, driving lights are cheap craft-store imitations.

Please tell me he didn't just get caught in a lie?:rolleyes:

it might actually be Mr. Downie; he belongs to a model car club in that part of the country (Atlanta, Georgia):confused: If so, we're in for a treat.:cool:

Yes, that's me-no lies! I've got plenty more to post as time allows. Found this site through another friend (Veyron), have spent a lot of time on the Hobby Heaven message board. This board's a bit closer to my current modeling interest and focus.

Excellent!!! Glad to have you on board, I'm sure everyone here is going to love your work, particularly the imports. Is that white RX7 yours in the FOKI pics? Lets see more.;)

(Not that we were hiding... :silly2: )

edit: And did you get to see Laurent's Focus? You'd be impressed! :D

WOW! I did see one pic of Laurent's Focus yesterday, thanks for posting the thread. Superb model, and great choice of rims! I built mine almost two years ago, took me awhile to finish the conversion. He did a great job (better than me that's for sure) getting the rims to fit under the fenders. I'm going to get addicted seeing all these models that make me want to spend 24-7 in the workshop...

Welcome aboard Bob :wave:

Flawless execution, ZoomZoom! A natural!

Welcome along Bob. I cant say i have seen any of your work or know of you, but by the sounds of things you are well known.
Enjoy your stay and i look forward to seeing your work.
Cheers
PMan
