tony tt Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Finally found the courage to continue with this. The project has been on hold for a while after I messed up the body and had to respray... Some pictures to show the progress. It's almost finished now, just have to put the headlight glass in and attach the side mirrors. Then attach the bonnet and find a way it stays up so everyone can see that 1:24 2JZ-GTE [ATTACH=CONFIG]157670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]157671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]157672[/ATTACH] That's pretty awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That is amazing work. The detail looks awesome! Love the engine bay. Glass always scares me. Its the only thing thats not re-doable if you mess up. LOL Been making a few models myself. Just finishing 4x 1:48 scale diorama WWII aircraft. Getting into the exciting side of accessories now. Was painting teeny tiny bricks this morning. I'll upload a few pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Awesome! I've got a "Fast and Furious 3" Supra model that I started and part-finished about 2 years ago! Perhaps the time has come to finish it off...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I used to build models and dioramas like these all the time and sell them on eBay. Still have a few bits left. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Some great work here! I have an old thread somewhere with my 1:24 Supra model on, also have a GTR, R33 and R34. Will try and find it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT88 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 So, just finished it. And I must say, for a first model it turned out pretty decent. Although you shouldn't look too closely at the paint, but the overall result is satisfying. Hardest part for me was painting the door rubbers on the body. If there will be a next time I will mask everything off. Trying to paint in a straight line on this scale is impossible. Good fun though! Would be nice too see some pictures of your Supra models(girls also approved ). Some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Very well done indeed! This sort of stuff always releases the inner-geek in me! I may have to finally get around to finishing mine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well done. The small fine areas like that are easier with a long thin brush iv found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah, never try to mask off and paint an area like that on this scale. It'll end up looking worse than if painted by hand. Model looks great though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 For fine lines, tamiya masking tape is the only answer. The stuff is amazing. Pin sharp lines every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 That is awesome! Really want one, link to buy a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Have you got any engine bay shots then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT88 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for your great comments. Engine bay shot is ^^^^ up there somewhere. Page 1 also has a picture of the engine when it was still out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT88 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 That is awesome! Really want one, link to buy a kit? http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/tamiya-124-toyota-supra/ http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tam/tam24123.htm I think these are the same. But I didn't buy mine myself. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT88 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Had my own little photoshoot with the real car today. Still unmodified, they need some cropping and some filters maybe.
