benkei Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Leading on from my previous Tamiya GTR thread, I have completed my Supra! Very pleased with how it turned out! Again, apologies for some of the shots, my camera phone does't like close ups I love how the rear lights look when the sun hits them, the clear plastic with the clear red and orange paints makes them look like glass! Unfortunately I couldn't get the angle I needed to show it, but all in all, a good shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_r Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Did you buy that as a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yes mate, got it from a model shop. This is my second Supra... I wasn't happy with how the first one turned out, so I blew it up with a firework in an explosion test for my animation while at uni... It was a good way to go!

jim_supra Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Very nice indeed, I am making a Tamiya Supra at the moment, I'm trying to make it look just like my Supra, but at the minute I'm stuck trying to make a TRD Spoiler for it, I am determined to do it though!!

benkei Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Those real life scenerys makes a massive difference , superb effort Thanks! I might get the others out and have a mini-Tamiya meet in my garden! Very nice indeed, I am making a Tamiya Supra at the moment, I'm trying to make it look just like my Supra, but at the minute am stuck trying to make a TRD Spoiler for it, I am determined to do it though!! TRD spoiler you say? Start a thread with pics showing your progress on the spoiler. Would be good to see how you manage it! Hope it turns out well for you!

I'd check your local model shops and see if they have either got one in, or can order you on in with their next delivery, might work out a little cheaper, and help your local model shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Looks great:) My wife has bought me the same Tamiya Model Supe so I'm going to build it when I get back home in a couple of weeks. This will be my first model building experience in 25 years:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
