Have you built your own car?

[barnabei]

no...still waiting for tamiya to release the 90 tercel 3 dr. hatchback

[djAkira36]

Yes, the "Cali JDM" CRX which is a replica of my soon to be completed race and show car...

This is as close as I've been able to get. Originally I built this model as an "Almost Straight from the Box" feature when I was on the staff of FineScale Modeler. I had to build it on a very short deadline, and it's not one of my best examples. When I moved to Scale Auto Enthusiast a couple of years later, I decorated it with the 20th Anniversary stock car decals we put out. They were nice and big, and did a good job of covering the orange peel! The luggage rack is styrene strip, and the boxes are from Verlinden's garage box set.

I need to dig out another copy of Tamiya's kit and do a decent replica, I guess.

P.S.: Here's the full-size car, guarded by Fern the Wonder Beagle (and dig my cool garage door!):

id love to make the 7th gen civic coupe but alas they dont make one. the last gen civic will be available from revell soon (they say) but i dont think its worth the trouble to convert since the body is way different. so instead i make models of cars i will never ever ever ever have

Can you give me the link of your complete job????

I only saw the progress pic.....i would love to see it

[Honoturtle]

Don't have a car! But you just wait!!! Next year when I get the legal age, I'll probably get some old school Toyota, maybe do an AE86 conversion....................... Or not, my mom doesn't like the idea of modifing cars Well, we'll see

Lesson:
Don't pick the car (new or used), unless you can find a model of it.

[ex-r]

Here is my attempt. Here is my car.


And here is my model.

[Peteex]

No one makes a model of a 6th gen civic coupe yet, I'm on a waiting list at my local shop for the 99' Civic Si from Revell, should get in January or February, but I think I'm going to build it as stock SI, I don't see the point modding it to an EX, although all I'd need to do is make a SOHC engine and change the headrests. Hmmmmmm??

Maybe I should put myself down for two??

[BBCivic]

My 1/24 ..............

like real one:flash:

[Gainsbourg]

I'm waiting (for quite some time) for the arrival of a Tamiya VW Golf V5 from HLJ so I can start make a replica of my current car.
I also have a Citroen AX 11 TRE but I didn't found any kit of this model.

[Orion37170]

My Car in 1:24: Ford Orion, has to be updated, because I've just bought a rear wing and some sporty rims
Thing, it can also be lowered

[Del-R]

Yeah I have a couple of Integra kits, I think nearly everyone on here has built an Integra Type R

[S Brake]

Does anyone even make a Toyota truck??????????
