progressing + completed car parts
AMT eclipse hood with shaved hood pins. I painted CF effect using tamiya mesh.
 Brakes. the rotors are from Bburago diecast cars. I had to make calipers for it. Doesnt look anything as good as SAS i guess...I just found a way to use these parts otherwise be trashed.  AMT supra bumper. I converted from bomex to a veilside-ish kind of bumper. My second time using epoxy.  Also replacing the original GT wing with another one. needed to make the legs for the wing too for it to fit.

Re: Re: progressing + completed car parts
Nice job with the putty, I like the hood on your eclipse and the wing on the supra.

Re: progressing + completed car parts
thank you.
I just painted the supra body black and completed the interior. The suspension is so hard to fit therefore i didnt put all the parts on. The finished car will be tied onto a display base anyways. It will finish by the end of this week. More pics coming soon! When I polished the eclipse hood i will take some brighter pics maybe outdoors?

     Carbon fibered more other parts, especially the eclipse the smoke coat on the hood also thickened. The supra paint is drying pretty much it...I think i will start polishing it today thank you.

Re: progressing + completed car parts
youngdrifter x: hehe... I love seeing carbon fiber body parts on cars...especially hoods/lip for Honda and other FF cars(helps weight distribution too!)... Im planning to try doing a full carbon fiber body Honda Beat. I could start it any minute I want...I've got the kit.
And this is the technique.The top of civic hood is the decal from box. http://www.tamiya.com/english/howto/car1/tip1.htm It tends to get the mesh dirty very quickly...soon Ill stock up on tamiya rally cars then it will be all good. tpliquid: thanks. Newspaper is from Calgary AB Canada, is that where you live too?
