Red Civic EK Hatch

[irnintoprkedcars]

i decided to build this EK hatch to make up for the other EK hatch monstrocity that i had built before, its not completely done, but its getting there, i still need to polish, and finish the interior, as well as some other minor details with the exterior (lisence plates, clean windows, front headlights etc...)

The Box


Look at all the pretty pieces


With the stock wheels


After Primer



And the current state that it is in, some pictures, have the monstrocity in the background, and for that im sorry.






if you are wondering, that is supposed to be a big parking lot, and i will be making a median out of styrofoam and carpeting, as well as adding a fake tree to the center of it. does anyone know where i can get 1/24 lights for the parking lot?
Like always, feedback and comments are always appreciated.

I would paint the grille red, IMO it would look much better. The parking lot would look more to scale if the lines were a little more narrow also .I like the color choice, always a fan of red!

the parking lot is just a mock up for now, i didnt really think about the lines though, so thank you for that idea. as for the grill, while i do see how it would look nice in red, i just thought that it would look better in black with a silver emblem, and after painting it today, my assumtion was correct. i also have to paint the lower grill and that will be black as well. do you know where i can get 1/24 lights to make the parking lot light up at night?
