Yea it does look pretty crappy right now. Tommorow should be better, maybe I will get to the CarbonFiber/Fiberglass work.

Color, thats a good question. My racing seats are Tamiya Blue (I dont have the code right here sorry) so maybe silver.

so far so good, cant wait to more progress pics!!

Stonkin good effort, this looks like it could be a good one, dont envy you the sanding you will need to do.

I don't think it looks that great. It looks like your not using nice putty. It doesn't look right because your putty looks like it has holes in it. Or you didn't apply it correctly. After you apply your putty get a little water, dunk your finger a little in the watter and smooth the putty with it. IT will look better and the surface will be smoother and you won't have to sand as much.

Did you plan out how your body kit is going to look like. The front doesn't look like it's going to look very nice. I hope this doesn't end up like your ITR.

Yea it does look pretty crappy, its looking a little better today. I'm using that crappy squadron putty, and styrofoam, so that may explain some of the roughness. I will be laying CarbonFiber and Fiberglass over all the foam and putty to give it a nice smooth and hard look. I will have new pics later tonight, no fiberglass on it yet.

The front is going to be a Top Secret kit. Yea, that front bumper has been through hell. At first I wasnt going to do a widebody and started using styrene and cutting stuff up to make a body kit, didnt work well.

I hope this turns out better than the ITR too, this is the first plastic model with molding that has gone right.

Yes indeed, it is a TopSecret/GT300 wide body. I was just looking at subways and crapped my pants, I wish not to be compared to him though.

Well, Im gonna go work on it.

[mike@af]

Well, I didnt get as much done today as planned. I attempted the side skirts, but that was a pain to do with styro. I started, well tried to start the front bumper, however that didnt work well at all either. That front bumper has been through a whole bunch, more than you could imagine.

I really really need to get some high quality putty, testors and squadron white putty arent cutting it. I actually had to use epoxy because it was the hardest/strongest thing I have right now. I need to go to the hobby shop this coming weekend, any body have any ideas on what putty to get?

Well heres how it looks. I know, I know, the front looks like crap still. I also started making the APR Top Secret wing. The hood looks great, if I do say so myself.

[circuitR]

That hood does look pretty schmick man.
No offence, but I think the back arch looks a bit out of scale, like it's a bit too wide.
Just me being picky.

[Sigmaman]

Keep goin' man,you'll get there.

[mike@af]

The back may be a little wide, I will look at some reference pics.

Does anybody think the front needs to be wider?

I hope it goes good mike!
