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)...

Update: I have been... I would say working but I have mostly just been looking at this: http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/100_1886.jpg



Here is how the Eclipse stands

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....
 

Here is the Talon too. All yellow areas need to be cut, filled or changed in some way...

Damn I haven't updated this in awhile!

Not much progress has happened since the last update post. I did make a different manifold for the car. Its a top-mount with a nice size turbo. I cut the hatch open and put a hinge between it and the car. Anyways, here are pictures (yes, I got picture happy).

One of the many ideas I used as refrence.

Setup on the wrong chassis.

Some of you may ask why I take so many pictures. My answer would have to be: With modeling most-often times I/you have to let the pictures do the talking.


Here are a few of the Eclipse as of now.

Close-up of the shaved dash that needs to be primed and finished. Then some gauges. :D

I put some wheels on to see what it would look like.

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.

Yeah, it’s always cool to put things you don't use anymore to use. I know I have a Firebird I was in the process of turboing and made floor mats and a trunk/hatch area rug/mat out of an old wallet.

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.
