Nice wheel matching. Does the rear spoiler come with the kit? or you self-make it? I feel shaving the side mold line looks more cool and exact to the 86 in the 1:1 picture.

I was planning on shaving the 1/4 moldings off, to make it like the pic. Thanks for noticing. As for the spoiler, I'm using 0.25mm stylene sheet to scratch built it.

np. I have an AE86 model as well, but haven't started to build yet...... your custom wing looks very good. :ylsuper

BTW what color are you going to make? :what:

willing to see your updates!!! :hehe:

[Honoturtle]

Here's a pic of the modified chassis. I was trying to get a pic of the new mount, but they come out way to blurry and really hard to define what you're looking at. It's hard to get angles with a scanner.


And jocwlaw, I'm making white as seen in the pic with black bumpers. As for the rims, white also.

[joecwlaw]

nice work , dude. Keep it up.

[Lownslow]

im working on one too but its a 2DR version. always liked AE86s theyre all over Puerto Rico(my native home) theyre not drifting down there yet but soon

[turbos86]

OMG, Honoturtle! You're making Moto-p's car! I can't wait to tell him this when you finish! oops, Moto-p is the webmaster/founder of Club4AG, a AE86 enthusiast club.

I have a few 86 models waiting for me as well (After I'm done with my hondas, LOL)

I suggest you making the mud guards bigger, cause they are not to scale...yes, damn fujimi

Anyways, got any close up pics of the TRD wing? I'm planning to make one as well.

[Honoturtle]

Boo yah!!!!!! Did some modifications to my roll-cage! Here's a few pics!
turbos, when I'm finished with the spoiler I'll toss some pics at yah. I just added some putty to it today, and will add pics when it's dry. But I can scan my basic template of the shape I used. Then all you have to do is pop it on some card and bend and trim! By the way thanks for answering my PM and do you know the interior color scheme on Moto-P's car??? And pop some pics on here if you do.



Right now all it needs is some putty(to simulate welds) and sanding. Oh yeah and of course paint.

[turbos86]

Nice roll cage! Hope you don't mind me saving up the pics for later

As for moto-p's car, here's a link to 7 pages write up about his car from scrap to speedster! http://www.twelve100.com/faq%20and%2...0Part%201.html
There's a link at the bottom of every page leading to the next.

For the interior, he has a pair of TRD bucket seats that looks kinda weird and the interior is either black or blue.

Thanks for all the info!!!!!!!! I guess I got some reading to do!

well I hesitated clicking on this thread cause the title with the cars name in it made me think of an ugly car, but it looks like it's going to be a pretty sweet little ride.

[Honoturtle]

Well I puttyed up my spoiler like a mad man!!!!!!!!! Coming out beautifully, I'll probably post pics of the body tomorrow. Damnit, guess what????? I start school tomorrow which sucks because I might be making little and possilbly no progress on my cars due to the damn load of work!!!!!



Ignore those rims, they are just there so eveything would remain even during the scan.

Well that's the roll-cage I'm using, I might to some front bars, but we'll see. See my scratch built Speaker box out back???? That was made out of scratch plastic and for speakers I used some LIGHT BEZELS if this helps anyone at all. I'll post some "close-up's" tomorrow along with the body photos. For Interior I decided on making it Black/Gray, don't want to go too extreme on this one, I was also thinking of scratch building a LHD, but that would be a difficult project, still thinking about. By the way, did anyone ever attempt to scratch build a dash???? Or was this an AF FIRST?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

[turbos86]

Converting RHD to LHD dash is not that hard. I did it on my Revell ITR. Just cut it up, put it back together in mirror form and add some putty

[Honoturtle]

Hmmm.................. Still thinking about it, what if I screw up so bad, I only have 1 dash! Well here are pics of the body,




I'll get speaker box pictures later tonight of tomorrow.

[kicker1_solo]

looking very cool, sucks about school.
