Zarana-X Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I love vintage rally cars. I've been eyeing the few different models for this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 @Foxer - Thanks, glad you like the weathering. @Zarana-X - The Datsun 240Z is a really cool rally car. This is the first 240Z I´ve huilt, but from what I´ve heard it´s the best. It was a troublefree build and it has some nice details. The body captures the look of the real car, I think. The only thing I could have wished for, was a motor. But, you can´t have it all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Very nice, do you plan on building up the base so the car has something to sit on? I've been working on the same 240 and a Stratos. Both are really good kits, but weathering is not my strong point so I'm a bit squeemish dirty-ing them up. Revell did a nice 240Z with a motor. Both are nice but I actually think Revell did a slightly better job on their kit as far as building goes, both look great built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for all the kind comments . @Aaronw - Yes, I plan to make something out of that base. Nothing fancy, just a simple roadsection. Even if you keep it simple it will enhance the total impression quite a bit. The weathering was great fun, actually. In my opinion, it makes the car look a lot more "alive". I also build AFV´s and on those models the weathering is really the final touch. The Hasegawa Stratos seems to be a great kit of an awesome rally car. Are you doing a WIP on these models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedge Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well done, is the weathering based on the real car too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
