Re: Scale DSM....

Update: I got the front clip shaved down now. It's still rough but it's going to take some more work...

Re: Scale DSM....

I put a piece of plastic behind the opening so I could fill it with putty...

Sorry, blue deoesn't work well with my camera so... kind of screws up the color... More updates as I progress...

Re: Scale DSM....

So, how does the tape job look? Close to the real deal?? I have started on the driver's side vent and such. I have been trying to work it out and get it right... Will have pictures up later. Thanks for looking.

Re: Scale DSM....

( I will get some better pictures later today )

Re: Scale DSM....

Ok, it's been a while... Ok, well the bumper isn't quite done but it's come a long way...

That is where it's at right now.... Look good?

Re: Scale DSM....

I did alot with the front clip tonight. I still need to cut out where the fog lights WOULD go, or find out what I am going to do in that area... *Will have pictures tomorrow*

Now, I need to know which intake manifold to use...

The Magnus Motorsports one (I believe it is),

or this Vemon one

UNLESS someone has a better suggestion.... (And the turbo is huge...) just a side note...

Thanks.

Re: Scale DSM....

Well I guess I will do the Magnus intake... Pics. tomorrow :)

Thanks for looking.

Re: Scale DSM....

Lookin good man, get this thing painted!

Re: Scale DSM....

Wanna do a black 1gb for me?:D

Re: Scale DSM....

Paint... I have no clue what to paint it... Could go with white, silver, blue.... Any ideas? And before I do that I need to do the side skirts and rear bumper...

LOL I need to make myself a 1g before I can do another... I have to use the Ford Probe model kit.. Will be a challenge.

Re: Scale DSM....

Here is a view of the side skirts.... I am using another Eclipse body (one I have already worked on the body).

Side skirts,

Re: Scale DSM....

Re: Scale DSM....

Here is the rear bumper I need to shave down and shape the dimples on the bottom, (the green is where I need to shave, yellow is left alone),

+1 for wingless and talon rear end.

Re: Scale DSM....

Here is my Talon,

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/100_1783.jpg

http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/100_1785.jpg

I would rather make a full Talon... If I get ANOTHER one of these kits it will be a Talon with a 2g GSX front bumper.... Now all I need is a resin casting kit....

Re: Scale DSM....

And yes I am going to try to do the Talon rear end but it's not going to be easy... (on the white car above)...

Re: Scale DSM....

I'm fixing the front bumper because some parts were uneven.. So here is how the bumper sits: http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/100_1891.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/100_1892.jpg

The rear bumper:

Re: Scale DSM....

Looks pretty cool! I remember doing this with a Formula Firebird model many years ago. Used old telephone wire strands for plug wires and such. I had a pic of the engine bay from Car and Driver and just went to town. Glued in a piece of a sock turned inside out into the interior for carpetting. It was a tedious job, but was so cool when it was done. It looked so authentic. I did coolant lines, wiring harnesses, etc under the hood. I'll see if I can find some pics of it. Kind of hard to explain.

Good luck with yours. I might have to start doing some model car building again someday when I have more time. Gotta get a lighted magnifying lens again before I start doing detailing like that again.

I have never ACTAULLY done wiring harnesses and kept them. I had a shop diorama not too long ago and I just put a bunch of spare wire together. Then had an engine lift next to it with the engine hanging out. Just making it look real, lol.

I know what you mean by explaining. That is why I say pictures do the best explaining, hahaha. It would be great to see some pics. of it. It sounds like it has LOADSSS of work into it.

I have to agree with the lit mag. len(s). I do not have one but I am SURE it would help tramediously.
