WIP NSX- really wwwide and speedster

[gionc]

I begin the project some month ago, like a bodykit on NSX (old kit>brake fluid etc.): do you remember old porsche speedster? '80 ones (tamy kit) was an inspiration to me. Some beginning and updated steps.




and now sawwwwwww




I mill down F&R fenders in order to create space for huge wheels


and now first basic shape of "speedster style"


I fill some panels line: I want just two shells (like most of Gr5) front and rear (openable), and in the middle only two doors (or at least 1 should be sufficient )
expected finishing: pearl white with RA272 livery, a couple of red cyrcle #11 number and may be a couple of BAR colors shapes (greengrayred) stencils. However that beast is intended as a street supercharged.
updates soon with a big snorkel, roll bar and a supercharged VTECV6 with huge exausts and other jokes
Oh: I'm enjoying so much that project: hoping you also.

[D_LaMz]

LOL, it might pick up road kill or be a snow plow!

[freakray]

thank'lot everyone, guys I'm really happy that this "joke" is welcome to you

and amusegt1: I've a big secret new for you: the nsx is intended as a training to allow scratch skills come back(also I intend to finish that soon to check the fantastic pearl white), so if you intend to do a s2000gt1 or a carbonR JUST RUSH: I'm planning that soon and I'm collecting the few refs I find right now!(I'm just hardly impressed by my drift on both in gt4)
so if everyone like to help me in these refs (I just found out Dalle Carbonare's fantastic pics) is welcome for sure

nice idea, like the wide fender flares, on another note, if you're looking for ref pics of the amuse Carbon R i do believe the magazine JTuner did an article about it for their november issue, i havent found it in stores yet being im in canada and its a british magazine, but if you can find it there should be some good pics of it in there

some few updates: when I said big snorkel I tought it really big
I begun to model up the body with epoxy putty, then I reshaped almost all with tamy putty.




when I had the basic shape I bgun to find a new way to do the rear bonnet/body intersection: I drawn that, like a ying/yang inspiration, so mainly round shapes in this funny!



Then I made the snorkel armour with plasticard shapes, glued by 2-part glue.I also havy reinforced the inner body junction (basic nsx body and new 1 seater bonnet) with 2 part glue in order to avoid putty cracks




May be architecture univ. helped me: a lot of building's relief model on my dusty attic




And now hard sand works: I'm seeing myself as a mason then a modeler







and next days a lot of fine putty, sanding and finishing
I don't know for now if this shoul be a curbside or not: lot of milling inside in casebut i want firmly this snow plow with a Tcharged V6Vtec
Thanks everyone, guys, for enjoy with m this crazy stuff
