widebody Integra!!!!!!!!!!

[g00eY]

this is going to be my first attempt at putty so go easy on me . i cant wait to start with the putty. im going to try to stay away from copying Appleseed's Integra but so far i do know that i will have the vent behind the front wheels made like his. ive already gotten my Milliput but im waiting for some styrene so i can start with that. in the meantime i will be using some thin cardboard to make the shapes that i will cut the styrene into. so far i have cut out one door, the panel for the inside of the door, cut the rear bumper, and sanded down the front lip. so... not much progress but i thought i would show it to you guys and girls because im kind of stuck on the design for the front bumper. so if you guys have any suggestions for the front bumper your welcome to post your ideas.

plans for the widebody Integra:
- vent behind front wheels
- Top Secret GT300 Supra style hood
- single exhaust right in the middle of the rear bumper
- at least one opening door(as i already cut it out)
- turbo???? i dont know how to make one
- i think i want to go with a wing like the one on the Do-Luck R34 but higher
- diffusers on the rear with a litlle lip that sticks out

thats it for now but there will be more.

here is the door. it was really hard to cut out and there is a really big "panel line" left. is this normal?


here is the front lip. i tried to sand it down as much as i could. yes, i know that it is a little crooked... needs to be fixed.


pic of the side without the door.


rear bumper. i think i used the stock Integra bumper because i wanted the word INTEGRA on the back but it might end up covered with putty. the bigger area in the middle will be where the exhaust will be and the diffusers will be on the side.


like i said... not much progress but i need some suggestions for the front bumper so post your ideas please. thanks.

on my ideas.

o and by the way... this is the Revell Integra.

edit: any color suggestions? i was thinking orange or white but other suggestions are welcome.

[lancerevoRS]

[rx7king]

i like your project, as far as front bumper suggestions....i like this

[hondaaccordboy21]

^^^^^That bumper is tight. Very nice. I say try that kind of bumper too.

[alex_37]

yer but w/out the ugly intake between the headlights otherwise thats tight

[g00eY]

yea... what alex 37 said... i dont like that thing between the headlights but i think i will try that bumper. now i have to do some more cutting... sigh...

edit: thanks for the pic.

[g00eY]

hmmm... how do i go about making that bumper? i was thinking something like this:
- cut up the lip that came with the kit for the two little rectangles on the bottom of the bumper
- use .40 plastic sheet for the middle
- drill out the two things on each side and carve with my knife
- fix up with some putty

question: you know the side of the bumper? the upper half? it looks flat right? so should i cut out the entire side and put a piece of plastic there?

does anyone have any referance pics of an Integra engine with a turbo? i searched on Google but didnt find any good pics.

[g00eY]

ok... nevermind. i found a thread with referance pics.

[g00eY]

ok... i change my mind again... i do need some pics. all i found was headers.

[mike@af]

Search the normal part of the forum for B16 Turbo

[g00eY]

ok... thanks. i think i have enough stuff to build the turbo now. i guess i am going to cut off the intake that comes with the model and use it on the turbo.

any major progress will most likely be stalled until next week.
