Scooby Duo (pics. yes, pics from jay!)

Yes, Jay finishes model kits. Of cars. :) More than one even. (But I'm still a second-rate photographer! :o)

I hereby present two Subaru WRXs...

One we've seen a lot; the Tamiya WRX STi kit. Mine is de-STi-ed. No STi logos; no STi blue interior. I wanted a "regular" WRX that looked mildly tuned. No wing, I added seatbelts, and I used Revell ITR wheels w/ the Tamiya tires...

(Yes, I know what it's missing. I'm trying to find it before Satrurday...)

Second is an older-model WRX Sport Wagon, made by Hasegawa. Phil built the sedan and it's in the Gallery. I heartily echo every negative sentiment he had about Hasegawa's complicated suspension and teensy-tiny wheels. I swapped in other ITR wheels, but it was a real pain, and I'm not that thrilled with them. In these pics, they're just glued on w/ pva glue, so I can change them later.

Any questions? :D

Very nice, I guess we have proof that you do build models now. :rolleyes:

Nice two tone paintjob!

BTW: you are missing a rearvison mirror ;)

Glad to see the work Jay!!

I have been wanting to ask about the wagon for a while.....the two tone paint turned out sharp!!

I wonder if it is possible to graft the front of the newer WRX onto the wagon body...:D

Keep up the great work Jay!!

-Rick

Nice work Jay!

Did you know you're missing a rear view mirror? - better find it by Saturday :silly2:

Never thought I'd say this to a guy. Nice pair! :flash: :eek:

Both look great!:)

wow! you really do build models!;) its about time we saw some of your latest projects. i'm still waiting for that silver s2000 you've been working on for so long! i take it that the black sti is going to be in tamiya-con? good luck on your entry!

a.

they look nice

but a wing is all it needs to shine!1:alien:

Nice work Jay!

Agreed.

I really like the first one. I love the style of it. The wagon is nice too, there are alot of fast wagons :)

EDIT: how many cars have you shown on AF??? The NSX, the "test mule" R33, the scoobies, what else?

yay for Jay:D

Good job Jay!
Love those mufflers on the sti and the wagon is nicely done too.

Overall I dont see anything wrong with them.

uhh i see them in both cars...:rolleyes:

nice cars jay i relaly like the wagon. very cool to see a normal car lol. the sti looks nice all WRXified as well. great builds. i am currently working on an EVO vi but mine isnt all subdued. METALLIC RED!!!:D

-GTi-VR6_A3

Both look very nice.

But I would definality add a rear wing to your Scoob.:D

:eek: Jay posts not one but TWO models!!! :D

Nice work especially on the 2 tone job.

good job, Jay! Very very impressed. And I, for on, thing the ITR wheels do suit the wagon, they just need to be attached a bit better ;)

Nice works!

i like the black one!

Both look superb Jay. Just wish we could see things from u more often!;)

Nice Subaru's Jay.

On remark that you can still fix. Paint the exhaust end black on then inside. Gives them a more realistic look. ;)

Cool idea of the seatbelts in a roadcar and the two-tone colour looks very good!

Great Work, Jay! I would really like to ride in the first one. Love the look of those wheels on the black car. Is that gunmetal?

Tastefully tuned, great job! :)

You sure? What's with the STI badge on the front grille then?:rolleyes:

Cars look good Jay, particularly like the Wagon, especially considering the paint scheme you chose, it works for the car well.

Good job, I look forward to more from you (hopefully before I retire;) )

J/K Jay, great to see some Scooby's, better that they aren't "clones". I think only you and Veyron have gone for the "non" STi look. The wagon looks a bit like an Outback with attitude. :cool:

I've never figured how to graft the new front onto that wagon, the Tamiya kit's too wide or the Hasegawa's too narrow. Maybe the new Fujimi STi will work...

And of course it's not often we get to see a beautiful model sporting a great rack on A/F. :devil: :D :hehehe: :silly2: :evillaugh

Pictures from Jay ?? damn what's next ?.. Man on the moon :rolleyes:

I'd have to agree, they both look nice. :)

whoa!!! jay makes models!?!?;):eek:

nwayz, they both look great and i agree with the wheels on that outback, but still good though!!!

Thanks for all the comments, folks. It's nice to be able to share, finally. :D

:D

what color is the wagon. i like it. maybe i should get some

Nice work Jay, I was amazed to see you do make models.
Let's see some more.................

Looks so nice both. Black one's rims suit to the car. I like that. :)

Am i reading this right?:finger:
Has my computer gone mad?:finger:
Have i been gone to long?:finger:
Have i bumped my head and been in a coma for months and months? :finger:
Are my eyes getting to old to read? :finger:
Has my mind gone funny?:finger:

MY GOD....JAY HAS FINISHED A MODEL :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

J/K.
Good to see some work from you...and two very nice examples too :cool:

Jay,
