Work in progress: Supra

KTem · #1 03-13-2005, 08:06 AM

I've been building a Toyota Supra lately.
It is the second car I make...

It is mostly box stock but I did some minor modifications, like bigger muffler tip and chrome shifter.

Body is not done yet because there was a whisker in the paint, so I had to sand it and stuff.
I will show a picture of it later.

Here you see the interior.
I painted it kaki, strange color for an interior but it came out okay I think.
Chrome shifter comes from a ruined Burago Testarossa Diecast.

Here you see that I had to sand the hood in order to make it fit.

This is the engine, it has no mods, only two wires installed for battery.

The undercarriage...

And this is the custom built exhaust.
Kind of big, I know, but its okay I think.
It actually is the top of a ball point pen painted TS17 Gloss Aluminium...

Very good for a 2nd model! The interior is sweet.

What colour is the body going to be and did you paint the under side?

One thing though, if the exhaust tip is bigger than the mufler, something is wrong

The body will be TS-17, Gloss Aluminium.

And yes, the exhaust tip is way too big, I know...

I can still build larger muffler though.

What do you mean by the under side?
If you mean the undercarriage, yes, it's painted (revell no. 96 metal).

Comparing the scale of the rims to the exhaust, thats roughly a 8-12" exhaust. Way to big.

Should be a cool project.

MidMazar · #9 03-13-2005, 01:30 PM

not bad, the interior looks good, the exhuast tip is definetly too large.

KTem · #10 03-13-2005, 02:01 PM

Thanks for your comments.

Yes, I know, that exhaust is too large, but I like it, so I will keep it.
My next model will have a smaller tip.

The engine isn't very detailed yet because it's work in progress

It engine has been detailed up a bit by now.
I will show a picture of that later...

Hi,

the exhaust will give the model a comic character. If you intend to build a serious car, the appearance from the rear won´t will give a wrong impression.

looks good! But you may have to cut part of the bumper out to make the exhaust fit...

Koenigferrari · #13 03-13-2005, 06:45 PM

Looks really good!

Well, I have sprayed and polished body now, it shines almost like a mirror.
But I have tried to mask window trims and paint them with a spraycan, but that came out like crap.
And while cutting out tape I scratched the paintjob also...

There is black paint everywhere that has leaked through the tape, so the car is messed up, I will not continue it.
Just so you know.

Well, at least I have learned something from this; never try to paint window trim...

DukeMan · #15 03-26-2005, 09:09 AM

Awh! C´mon dude, don´t give up on the trim! It came out crap because you used a spraycan, masking+spraying direct from a can = disaster, that´s something I´ve learnt along the way. The best way is to use a airbrush spraying with a low pressure. If you don´t have a airbrush I suggest trying "gundam" markers instead.

Good luck!
