my model kit in the works, not for the 56k! Options

[timmy_Tam]

hey all
new to the forum, never was one for the celica, i'm a rotary man
whats that? thats right...MUNCH MUNCH pistons for lunch!


anyway, friend of mine's birthday is coming up soon, and i though i'd build him a model of his celica he used to have

he used to be on this forum, username NAKED
but he sold his celica n got a mx5 (+1 for the mazdas!)
mostly because his work requires something more 'professional' and he was tired of 'crab crawling' along speed humps, ramps, etc

anyway, heres the kit i'm building, would apprecaite any suggestions, criticism, advice, etc

CelicaST_CALI: i got the body from a model kit that i picked up from Ebay US. couldn't find a kit in australia, guessing its rare or not in much demand

AnaXyd: no it doesn't run, and i'll show you why in a minute

but heres an update. got the rear bar done. as you can see, i made it WAYYY too big. compared to the spoiler, its like a big hugh booty on a small chick =/

but i had to make it in 2 parts, left and right just because it was so hard to do all the curves and lines of the rear bar

however, with the wheels that arrived, the rear bar doesn't seem that big anymore, but the front bar is wayyyyyy too small by comparison
compared to the stock wheels, the new ones are like 20"!
but they cram in there, and won't move at all. they practically cover the brakes and calipers
what to do?

i'm thinking about redoing the front bar, at least the lower lip anyway to make up for it, but i'm pushing it for time =/

i'll let the picts do the talking
