Is the Tamiya Pure white TS-26 easy to "handle"?

Nice job. But it'll look a little better if you were to add in panel lines though. Keep up the good work dude.

No, I think white is the hardest colour to handle after doing so many kit. It get dirty very easily. I accidently touched it after reading the newspaper and there was a greyish mark on the paint already.

I personally don't like panel lines. After I tried it on my Silvia I don't really like it.

you skill looks just fine to me. take a stab at a custom exhaust or something maybe, to try your hand at customization. its quite easy and you can find the straw method posted here recently. the del sol looks great.

Thanks for the compliment. I've actually done a body customization before and also using straws for the exhaust and it didn't turn out well for me. But I've bought some aluminum tubings maybe for future customizing. Currently still trying to touch up some things on my custom celica.
I feel that I still need to build more box-stock kit to improve my skills before going for more customization.

Great model. I like the wheels. Did you mean to make the rear wheels have negative camber? They slant in a bit, but it doesn't look that bad.

Mean_B16 · 05-16-2003, 06:41 PM

Wow, that looks really nice for just a box stock model!

flyonthewall · 05-16-2003, 08:33 PM

Nice!

bah humbug · 05-16-2003, 10:02 PM

Looks great!

You've done a very good job.

And about skills not being good enough, you've got to start somewhere.

Eh, panel lines no panel lines who cares.

I've grown to like them though.

RyanGiorgio: I didn't meant to make the rear wheels that way, but I had a little problem when putting together the rear parts. In the end the wheels ended up like that and I feel that its quite nice too.

Looks good!

Did you know that in Europe the Del Sol is called Honda CRX

njh · 05-17-2003, 11:33 AM

huudo: Yup i know that, I think some people call it civic del sol or civic crx, I'm not very sure.
