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

LOL! I thought you went for the huge wheels on purpose!

ah well, i'll shut up now

If those are the wheels you gotta use, then you're gonna have to go that way, exxagerrate everything, make it almost cartoon like. It will look cool IMO.

I'm not sure what material is best to work with, but after what you've learned about the project working in clay, you might consider drafting out the parts precisely on paper then working in balsa, slowly and carefully taking a piece down first with files then smoothing with sandpaper, which can give you accurate parts. And you can still correct minor errors with putty before priming and painting. (Actual mileage may vary, depending on patience and skill.)
