Progress: Honda City GG

Tikiman · #1 06-15-2005, 04:38 PM

This is a Tamiya Snap-lock kit. No, don't laugh, it's actually very well detailed. In fact it is about as good as, if not better, than some normal Fujimi kits i've had. And more good news was that the wheels where female so i can use some Fujimi wheels i had laying around. Actually i will be using the ones that came with the 1995 Integra which i didn't use. The idea behind getting this kit in the first place was to do some body mods, so that is what i will be doing.
Here are some preliminary snaps.

The wheels are hindered a bit by the underside so i will have to take some of that away.

Lol. I was thinking yellow aswell. Looks like a very nice build. Wheels suited it too.

I am very sure you can do better than me...

Nice, I haven't seen this around. I think you need to use thinner tires, those look huge.

You might be right there. But they are in scale with the car so it would be possible on a real one. I was thinking of widening the car though so maybe they won't look too bad.

I just did a photoshop mock-up of how i am thinking of laying the front out.

That's awsome! I have never seen anyone trick out a Honda City. Should look SICK!

Heres some actual progress on the City GG. I took the bumpers off (very carefully) and then took the front wings/fenders off, stuck some styrene strip in and then glued the wings back on. Next thing to do is the rear wings/ fenders. I was thinking of doing them a bit like a skyline R32. I'll probably use the same method as the front ones (romove the panels, stick some styrene in and then put them back on. When both the front and rear panels are done i will smooth over them with some putty and move on to the side skirts.

Comments welcome. Suggestions probably ignored, but maybe not.

Niiice. What a cool little car! Gotta say, though, if giving it a full body kit, I'd use the stock little wheels.

BlownSS454 · #13 06-17-2005, 10:57 PM

Nice progress! Paint it Spoon Yellow and give it a black lip on the front and a black wing on the back! Just kidding. Don't make a Spoon City GG. Though, that would be kind of funny...

I like this rear wings solution, but do you make back wings little broader ?

The back wings will also be broader, yes. I will hopefully do it today and have some pictures up tonight.

Thanks for looking in.
