Looks good so far, though you did jump out on a limb when you got a Tamiya kit because from my knowledge they are normally loaded with parts, I could be wrond though, well aside from that Welcome! Have Fun Enjoy yourself and keep us posted opcorn:

Oh and as far as the camera thing goes, try a little more light.

Looking good so far. Always put your camera's macro function on...it doesn't make sense that some of your photos are focused and some not....always check to see if it's on.

It's a great kit and I love it. What are your thoughts on the body?

ill see if turning on the macro on camera works thanks and about the body it seems fine the only thing thats bugging me even though i havent got to it yet i know its gone be hard, the bumper theres no place to hinge it or set it on or w/e . i already saw another kit that he had the same kit and it looks like the bumper is about to fall off

[p8ntbllr_182]

hey guys im having a huge major problem i dont know whats going on lol i took some pics see if somebody could help me out

this is the left side see its fine its aligned

the right side on the other hand is a whole different story look at it its sideways no way a wheel can fit like this


and this is the bar thats making it do this

i need some help badly anybody know what i can do, or what i did wrong?

[p8ntbllr_182]

problem solved i had glued the front suspension at a angle that was sticking out way to much
so i riped it out and reglued it , its fine now ill post pics later when i get more progress done

[p8ntbllr_182]

i think im done with about everything in the chassis suspension brakes rims etc. all i need is interior and bodywork pics below

[p8ntbllr_182]

well im done with the interior and i did a coat of paint yesterday and a coat today tommarow will be a clear coat i think its coming out good for my first build and im very impressed with the paint i though i would f**k it up lol well here it is

[no-mame]

in that pic its not even glued i just put it on so people could se how it looks so yeah they were painted seperatly, im about to glue on the wing and the bumper so i can put the clear coat the whole car im gona wait 2 or 3 days for the clear to dry so its gona be awhile until i post more pics

[p8ntbllr_182]

i though i would f**k it up lol well here it is

lol yeah i kinda did i did the first coat of clear well and the second coat i sprayed it when the first coat wasnt fully dried i guess so yeah it messed up the body i sanded the clear coat cause it got rough and its fine now all i have to do is spray a coat of silver again then a clear.

and no i dont have any detail parts yet i wanna make kits well first cause i dont pay for extra parts to just mess them up.

yeah broke my own rule i got the pe set for it by tamiya here is some pics. the car is almost done i just need to repaint the body so i can put on window's and headlights and tailights and stuff.

pe parts
intercooler


brakes


exhaust

oil cooler

pedels


floormats are also installed but i didnt take pics. the only pe parts left are the grills which also need the body to be painted first.
p.s once again i say my camera sucks sorry for the blurry pic's but my camera gets worse and worse everyday >< i hate it anybody wanna buy me a new one

EDIT:took some better pictures and posted them up, there still blurry but better than before and yes i am wel aware that i did a real crapy job with those pedels its my first kit remember ill try not to let it happen again ><
