thats it for now, still needs ALOT more work.. should be more progress in the next couple of days...let me know what you guys think, thanks

thats awesome man, i love the damage, looks authentic. Turbo looks great, thats the same exact method i use for making my scratch-built turbos. What size solder are you usnig there? looks to be about .1xx inches in diameter?

thanks, this is the first time ive done the rust and beat up look on a model, i dont think it turned out to bad. the solder is .118 diameter. i think it might be a little big..?

you should paint the hood black too to add to your red door. just a suggestion...


great job so far. LOVE the damage. Did you just heat it up?

thanks, i was thinkin about the black hood too, yea i just took a lighter to it to soften it and then smashed it against the table

I like it! It's nice to see a drift car that looks like it's actually been used well.

Nice job! don't forget to add some weathering

I'll watch this one for sure!

thanks, i was thinkin about the black hood too, yea i just took a lighter to it to soften it and then smashed it against the table

haha nice technique.. and the same with the rust?

That damage looks so real. It's not uncommon that drifters get a little worn in battle. That looks like a practice car for someone who's going to race in a drift series. But OMG that turbo looks big and the engine is so small. But all in all nice job! Keep it comming!

thanks guys! yea the turbo is a little big, im gonna re make it when i can get a chance to get some smaller solder.

the rust technique is actually pretty easy, this is where i got it from http://www.scalemodelguide.com/guide/painting/salt-weathering/


the hood will be flat black and im thinking of doing the opposite fender a light blue, do you guys think that would be too much??

also anyone have good tips to help e with the dirtying up of this beast?? thanks!

Nice progress so far :) good luck with works :)

looks really good. i just hope your not thinking of keeping that negative camber on the solid rear axle corolla??

I think the blue might be a lil much... just IMO.

i decided not to go with the blue,

so far ive been working on gettin the intercooler piping done,throttle body, the intake, brake lines, radiator, performance battery will be relocated to the back and just finishing up the engine bay...ll have more pics soon

good choice. We need pics of your process!!! hahaha

ill have some in a couple of hours lol

What size solder is that again? It looks perfect for modeling applications I might have to pick some up soon

What i really like about the build is the rear damage. Looks really realistic.

Was just about to ask the same question... hahah..

What i really like about the build is the rear damage. Looks really realistic.


thanks, i was really worried it wouldnt turn out right for my first time lol


oh and also the solder is .118 diameter, i think its a little big for the turbo but perfect for the cage and piping

Looks like Goto-sans missile ae86.

haha yea it does i completely forgot about that car

goto-san, now that's the name i was trying to pick out. that engine set up is slick bro.

Good!!
very realistic!

with which you hit the solder cage?

nice project!
good woork so far!
