Love the subject matter, and I'm digging your changes. If you think an Avalanche is over the top, try seeing one in person. It's even wackier. Many years ago, when I worked for Porsche, a local guy had two of them. One was a dark metallic blue. The other was this awful metallic orange fade into metallic red, with a white interior. I mean, I dig the 80s, but this thing was ridiculous. Looking forward to seeing what a "mild" Avalanche will look like! Thanks, Bud!......that orange faded one sounds nauseous!......like bad model kit box art.

Dann Tier Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Looking for more ideas, i came across this puke bucket on four wheels -Nasty!!!
Dann Tier Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Heres where i'm at now... -Photo 1; A bit more custom...i decided to split the tailights, and it will be painted body kolor. -Photo 2; These are the insides of the "Shark Fin" vents...they will have mesh added, and be painted semi-gloss black. -Photo 3; The "dot" will be a rearview camera, and something that most people forget, or choose not to deal with, is that the hood, and the neck of the spoiler are two separate parts on the real car, so i scribed it as such. -Photo 4; Since i'm using my own, scaled down rear window, i needed to add uprights to the parcel tray to fill the large expected gap. -Photo 5; This is the start of my brake cooling ducts... -Photo 6; They fit great, but dont leave room to compensate for paint thickness, so i will trim them back a bit. -Photo 7; There was a HUGE space between the chassis/interior tub, and the rockers. It was waaaay to flexible, and fragile for my liking...not to mention unrealistic, so i added styrene to fill that gap, and add strength. -Photo 8; These extensions will tuck right up into the rockers with ease! -Photo 9; I got rid of the metal axle, and needed to add longer attachments to all the wheels since they were in waaay too far. I will be adding HP brakes to it next. -Photo 10; Its got a nice low stance that is straight from the box, and as you can see, i'm calling it the Dannspeed Porsche. That was my fourth try carving those letters in there. I still need to clean them up a bit, like the rest of the body, and the name area between the tailights will be body kolor.

Spottedlaurel Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Great progress Dann, with your usual considered approach to adding some effective details and modifications. Certainly has a purposeful stance.
