Tuned Toyota Supra in 1/24

[modellmaker]

Hi all!

In summer of 2005 I started a new project. A Tamiya Toyota Supra. I thought about some things before I started it and saved a lot of pics from the net. I like come to some decision before I start something. For example what colour want I paint? What things want I modify in the interior? What rims put I under it? etc. So You can see below what I want.

I will paint it Lamborghini Arancio Atlas Pearl paints. It's a cool orange.

This rims go under my Supra:

Aoshima Bersaglio Spoke II 19" ( I love it! )



Here is where I have been swhered:

I modified on the chassis the front and the rear bumper, the side skirts and the bonnet.





Sorry for the rare updates but I have not so much time modeling.

PS: It's going to be like this:



Now You can imagine what I want.

Yes, it's a good stuff. The only "problem" with this putty that You have to wait to dry about 12 hours after You greased it. But in this time You can work on other parts.

Hi guys!

First sry that I haven't update the topic since the first post here. I have not so much time to modeling.

In my reference pics I see in the inner side of the hood some stays (or props, I don't know what is it's correct name). But on the model was all flat. In my plans are an opened engine bay and the hood in flat would be not as good as I want.

Here is my ref. pic:


And here which I made.


I hope You like it. In the afternoon I'll update it again.

That is some sweet work on the hood mate ^^

Hope to see updates! Its going to look great!

So as I promised. A liitle update again.

The shock absorbers. The stock:



And which I made:


I cut the top of the stock shock absorbers and remade the all thing from wires. The piece from brass is 1.5mm in diameter and the thinner is 0.8mm. The spring is made from 0.4mm wire, too.

I think in the end there will be all in covering but I know there are in their place.
