98% Finished F&TF Eclipse (4 pics)

[ozstrider]

Hey guys. I can sit here and criticise other peoples work, but now i decided its time for you to see mine lol.
In actual fact I just got a digi cam and ive wanted to do this for a while. This was my third model and probably my best. The first two...well...yes...those are differant... One day they might pop up.
Anyway, heres the pics.


The bonnet is royally screwed. Its matt black with the decal just layed over it. It looks terrible and the model sits on my shelf without it normally. Its on now for photos sake. Also the front lenses are a terrible fit. For future referance, anyone who buils this might want to look into reshaping the lenses of the headlights.


The money shot lol. As you can see...no exhaust, cos i need styrene and no little reverse lights yet. Those will be in soon hopefully.


Interior and NOS bottle. Also a new shifter. That little stick one that came with the kit sucked. So I used a spare one from my ID Trueno kit with a little reshaping. Whole interior is matt black then highlighted mostly in blue. No pics of the gauges, but there all hand painted. Which took ages -___-.


The infamous engine. I knew how wrong it was, so i just focused on making it sh*t hot. Whole engine is drybrushed in silver with blue as the other main colour, and small parts highlighted in gold. You can see my sloppy job on the mould lines in the pic, which is annoying cos you cant see them in real life.

Anyway, sorry for my crappy pics. First time trying it out on cars. Thx for looking everyone.

I particulary like the engine pic! Interior looks great too! I hope the coming 2% include black paint around the windows and in panel lines... and a better sit of the wheels! But I have to say the whole thing is impressive!

He is right there is some major camber in the rear. But besides that it was an overall great build

Wow thanks guys. Yeh, about the wheels, they have to be glued on, which hasnt been done yet. So there sorta just sitting there atm and are really wonky. I didnt really try to make them perfect for the pics.
I might get some more pics of the motor later.
Next project is a black Bomex Supra. Which i might do a build up on.
Thanks for looking guys.

Might as well buy TF&TF supra either part one or part two. if its the Fujimi Bomex Supra, its the same damn car as the AMT shitty builder.
