ZZT230 Celica GT

[Slo_Snipe]

Building one just to kill time...probably won't try anything too crazy on it.
Made C-one style hood scoop, and filled the sunroof closed. The original window cut off then put on as a base to make the solid top with.

Going to have blue window tint, automatic, lhd, ordered some TRD T3 wheels and will put them on. See if I need to lower once I get wheels. Maybe make an exhaust for it too...

Thank you for looking.

how did you make that scoop? i was going to just cut mine off, put putty down and replace so that it's slightly raised, but yours looks purrrfect

Painted tamiya TS30 and then TS13, it will get polished soon. The body took a lot of time for me to get rid of the sunroof. I remade the c-one style hood scoop using plastic boards. Side windows were tinted blue.
I will also put fujimi's TRD sports t3 wheels on it.
Hope you enjoy.

Nice work you have done so far.
The roof has came out great, I did mine and found it hard work to get right.

Nice work. Did you used Tamiya clear blue for the window tint?

Yes the roof was really hard to make it flush with the rest of the body. Took me countless reapplying and resanding of different regions by each centimeters because I did not have a foam pad of the right size. Looking closely I saw some kind of line that shadows the original shape slightly, but there are no indented lines on the surface. I guess somehow the silver paint made it see through, and I didn't know how to prevent such things.

The window tint was made with real window tint. Just half a leftover sheet is enough for quite a lot of models.

I'll also give you guys a pic of the drilled head light I was talking about.
