Proton Wira Limited Edition Replica....

[kaho]

OOOh Rare project, rare car!!

I would have said that the wheel on the bottom is nicer, only if I didnt see the circle shaped thing behind the spokes of the wheel, they look like fake disc brakes. It would look much better if those "discs" behind these wheels are removed though.

How about making a full interior using left over dashboard and seat pieces? That would make the model car so much more realistic!

I am really interested on this car, the only thing I have seen that is close to it is the mitsubishi lancer. I have never lived in malaysia therefore I could never see this. It makes me want to own one of these, even if its just a pullback toy.

If this car is based off of the early 90's lancer, I think the body proportions is actually a little off (the rear doors seem to be a bit short) Its almost l ike you can build a coupe out of it, but NOT a mitsubishi mirage ASTI / Eagle summit from the early 90's) I would try to move the B pillar a little bit forward (maybe like 3-5mm?)

Its still going to be a good model though, good luck.

P.S. And did I say that I suggest kitbashing/scratchbuilding a full interior for this car?

yep kaho,
i understand wat u are writting...the car u mention is proton putra ( mirage asti ). well kaho, it is actually a toy so don't expect 100 % replication.. even the triangle mirror line is gone..( but i am going to built it )..was thinking also how to built the interior....look the pic below and you will understand how big is this car.
the mustang beside it is 1/24 scale ( tamiya ).
yes kaho,
this car is base on the lancer in the early 90's. there are lots of variant of this car and i wan to replicate is the Proton Wira 1.8 EXI DOHC Limited Edition Version powered by 4g93. The most powerful Proton Wira ever produce.

p/s kaho
i have 3 more of these ..hehe.....
i do agree about the disc brakes on the rims.....maybe i will stick to the first one.......

I hope this builds will turn out great.

It will be better if there is an interior, engine details and others because it is a 1/16 scale and it will be a waste if built into just a curbside kit because there are thousands of references available in Malaysia as this car is one of the most affordable cars here.

Too bad you didn't bring this car when you were here in Kuala Lumpur and visited my friends shop recently, otherwise I would have asked you to bring another so that I can build it too... Just kidding...

By the way, to others that is wondering, this model (previously a toy) is limited and I've never found it anywhere even at the local toy shop and being a 1/16 scale and a lot of references (in the thousands actually), one can't resist in bulding this into a decent looking and fairly detailed model kit (well, at least I can't)....

druid,
yeah .. it's very big and i have 3 more. i wonder where i put them. this the only one i can find ..wierd though..

since everyone hopes for this car to have an interior detail, i will stop my other projects including my iswara restoration projects so i will be able toconcetrate on the interior itself.....ok guys..it will have an interior....my first attempt ! yeah !!!!

i hope you guys will support me

druid, i got 2 from public bank, 2 from parkson.

[cham2020]

start building the interior
it's just a sketch on manilacard... i will use syterene sheet to replicate the dash

[SteveK2003]

You could always leave out the interior and make it radio controlled

[cham2020]

never mind steve
i am going to make this project a big one
for the sake of upgrading my skills and for all of you
hehe

[cham2020]

the interior is just a beginning
i will concentrate on the body of the car first
once i finish the body
i will proceed to the interior

[quadzero]

taking on the interior would be a big job but i cant wait to see what you do and how this turns out. 3 cheers for cham!

[cham2020]

yeah
from the pic , it is using a maniLAcard, i am using it to do the layout then i will try to use styrene sheet ( i am running out of those ) to do....anyway, i don't think i can replicate 100 % like those in kits with fulldetails.....

[cham2020]

A little update
it's done using styrene sheet
the real job has begun

[cham2020]

a bit of updates
i start to work on the dashboard. it's kind of painstaking ( sorry, it's not very accurate cause i am quite new )..i hope to do it nicely though....



here is the model......
i have been keep filling it with putty in order to remove scratches...sigh....

Hmm, that does look like it would take a long time. I would make the basic shapes and tint the windows so you can't tell the detail is limited: I think you could go mad getting everything to look just right.

[cham2020]

haha...good idea....but i think i will try my best steve

Damn, i juz found this thread, sigh looks like i won't be able to get these wira kits in malaysia anymore, i roughly know what you've been posting about, these were released as kids' toys/gifts some time back, now considered OOP. sigh
