Wings West....*shudder*

back on topic, the car looks top, man. good work!

[Veyron]

Looking great! I think silver would put a racy look to it, you could accent with a stripe or some graphic to spice it.

You've not failed to impress me yet, Olivier. This Teg is fab. It seems this generation is designed for the aftermarket to redesign it.

By the way, any thoughts on the wheel & tire package?

[appleseed]

looks super shiny! and all that is just primer??? you've got some talent laying on that paint my friend . however, why did you mask the grill and the headlights? are they molded in? anyway, great job on the mods!

a.

[bigfrit]

No, the ast pics show the car with the actual paint job on it, that's why it's shiny!
I had to mask the lights because I needed some phat coats of primer in order to get all the impureties away!

As for the rims are concerned, check on page one, those rims will be used, and the colour will be ?..... white, or black or deep gunmetal ?

Sorry guys, I like my racecars white

Olivier

[bah humbug]

Awesome!
Great WOrk man.
Love the choice of color, also painted my SAS ITR white.

I think this one needs panel lines.
IMO body that is painted in lighter colors needs panel lines, IMo the body seems empty with out them,

With darker colors I think you don't need them such as darker blues, purples, greens, and greys and gunmetals. Just my opinion.

[appleseed]

olivier, i went through your list of mods again and i'm curious, did you use a donor model for your c-west parts?

a.

[bigfrit]

Erm, nope, everything was done with styrene and with putty and blood , sweat and tears !

The only donor parts, as you want to call it , were teh spare NSX brakes, and the rims, from an ex-ford focus, now being converted in a Alfa GTV WRC (should be floating the boards somewhere...


Olivier

[rhmatt]

Very sharp! How is the interior coming along? I vote for gunmetal on the wheels!

Keep us posted!

[bigfrit]

Well, sofar, most of the painting has been done, the panel lines added, need stll to add some black to the window frames and do some detail-painting.
The interior is coming along nicely, which sports a p-e -buckled seat; wired tracking device, wired handbrake and gear lever.
There is still some minor detail work to be done to teh chassis, but in the whole, the car is about 80 % done.




Wheels, well, their colour isn't decided yet, I ll see.

Cheers, Olivier

[bigfrit]

Ok, slowly getting there...

Sofar, the chassis has been detailed, parts glued into place, rims still have to be chosen and the interior is painted, wired and glued, sporting helmet, lap-tracking system (wired), handbrake (wired) and the usual stuff, gunmetal scratchbuilt rollcage... lotsa things I keep on forgetting.. but here s what has been made untill now
sorry for the bad pics, it was getting a bit dark over here...

ciao
