Tamiya Mazda Eunos / Miata - zombie build completed

[iamsuperdan]

Well, there's another zombie completed.

This is Tamiya's Mazda Eunos kit. I acquired this a few years ago as part of a collection. I don't really care much about Japanese cars, so this just sat in a box for a while. Then, while perusing Cults, I came across Black Box STL's bodykit for the Eunos/Miata kit.I thought this might be something cool. I was looking for something different, and wanted some 3d printing practice, so bought the files and printed it up.

Then, I glued it together, got bored, back in a box for a year or so.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. I finished the body damaged Porsche 964 Turbo and needed another zombie to finish. This one jumped out.

I did the usual prime,sand, repeat; then hit it with some Tamiya NATO green paint. Printed some seats and painted those in a flat red. They're a little oversized, but whatever.

The wheels were included in the BlackBox kit and those are chrome with white centers. I used the kit's decals for the center caps. Whoops! One or two may not be centered.

I thought about carbon decals, but really just wanted to get another one finished.

Turned out okay. Looks good on the shelf. 

I actually enjoyed this one more than I thought I would.

Great looking body kit. Smooth paint finish with an understated color.

It looks good with the kit on it, I might have to try that front bumper on some other stuff.

That's pretty cool Dan, and very creative. The color is something you just don't see very often.   I like it!
