Deathgoblin Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Here's my take on the Californian kit. It had a LOT of ugly out of the box but the overall shape wasn't bad. First effort was to remove the awful beak it had. Made the entire rear panel the tail lights with a grill over it and made a new rear bumper out of half-round. I filled in part of the panels that went from the quarters into the roof and cut out the side parts to make almost colonade-style quarter windows. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Definite improvement over the box stock kit. I really like what you did with the front and rear end treatments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Brian, you absolutely nailed it with this one! I have this kit and have thought how nice the overall shape is - if only the front and rear were different - and here you did a great job with both. Well done, and thank you for sharing. Now I'm inspired to have a go at mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Your changes to the body look more like something from the GM Design Studio proposal for the Toronado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
