1/24 version of my real car (Tamiya Eunos)

[chkltcow]

I got back into the model hobby when I found a few boxes up in the top of my closet, and for 2 months I've been trying to get my hands on the Tamiya Eunos Roadster so I could build a scale version of my own real car. And now... DONE.... mostly I say mostly because every time I look at the pictures, I see something else that I need to go back and touch up that I really couldn't see with the naked eye.

The paint is Tamiya TS-9 spray, finished with Scratch-X to smooth it out, then covered with Mothers carnuba wax (still left in a few of the crevices ). The roll bar is scratchbuilt from a piece of .080 styrene rod, although it came out a bit lopsided after I glued it Couldn't make it quite like my real bar, so I just improvised.





And underneath, I painted it as close to my car parts as I could. The front swaybar is green like my Suspension Technologies sway, the shocks are yellow with black springs like my Koni shocks and Eibach springs, and the whole underbody is weathered although nowhere near as much oil and rust as the real thing



Here's the real car for comparison.
