diymirage Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Now that I have all the stuff needed, wish me luck! "imitates accent from the movie taken" good luck
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Thank you diymirage, I'm going to wait till the 911 is finished before continueing with this project. It'll be alot of firsts for me and I'd like to have my total concentration on it.
diymirage Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Thank you diymirage, I'm going to wait till the 911 is finished before continueing with this project. It'll be alot of firsts for me and I'd like to have my total concentration on it. i know how that goes, i have 2 projects im working on besides the drifter and it is nice to do some "no brains required" assembling in between
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 The Porsche sure is a no-brains assembling, but sure is full'oh brains painting! This Smonda is going to take alot of thinking, and scratch-building and head-scratching and hair-pulling, and fingers-crossing, and mouth a swearing, et'c, et'c, et'c. Fortunetly, Dad should be home tomarrow so hopefully I won't have to deal with his 2 year old puppy for a while and I'll have even more concentration on this project! Another incentive for me on this one, is my local Hobby Town, eh, the good one, is having a model contest in October and I'd like to enter this one as well as my Koenig's!
B_rad88 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 well, i can't wait to see it finished! and i wish you all the luck that a modeler can have! (hey fujimilover, just woundering, would you want to sell the remaing parts of the civic kit?)
FujimiLover Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 I might just give'em away! Won't know till I'm almost done with the kit though.
B_rad88 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I might just give'em away! Won't know till I'm almost done with the kit though. if you decide to get rid of it, i want it please! just let me how much for the kit and shipping! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Brandon
FujimiLover Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Painted the "roll-cage" white. Just like the KS 500 SL, there's not much difference in the photo. The carbon-fiber I got today I dont' think I want to use on this project. It's their plain-weeve type and just does not have that really awesome CF look I want. What I'm after is that nice deep black stuff you see on alot of tuner cars. I may have to order the correct CF directly from SMS themselves. I'm assuming their still in buisness? The stuff I got look's more brownish and does not have that proper pattern. Well, time to walk the D.O.G. Edited May 21, 2009 by FujimiLover
diymirage Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 if you decide to get rid of it, i want it please! just let me how much for the kit and shipping! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Brandon what exactly are you after ? i might have it since i got the same kit scavenged
FujimiLover Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Does anybody have two sheets of this stuff in 1/24 scale? http://store.scalemotorsport.com/merchant2...Category_Code=4 I have their plain-weave and it's not the same apperance. I'm really after their Carbon Fiber Twill Weave Black /Pewter Composite Fiber style. My local HS didnt' have this type in stock. I'd be happy to trade? I've got two of the plain weave, and I'd like to trade for 2 of the twill weave. Edited May 21, 2009 by FujimiLover
FujimiLover Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 For some Smart fun, please visit http://www.smartsrus.com/acatalog/. They have alot of really cool looking Smart cars that have some pretty sweet body kits, wheels, and other styling goodies. Makes me drool and salivate for a Smart Four Two car.

Joe Handley Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 come on dude, look at the picture it looks more like a roll cage then a carbody its tiny IIRC that portion of the "body" is basicly a rollcage

4DCustoms Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I haven't seen this posted yet and I am surprised but this is what your project will be when it's done.
diymirage Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I haven't seen this posted yet and I am surprised but this is what your project will be when it's done. if im not mistaking there is a post in the general forum called "drift build off" (or something) im pretty sure its in ther
FujimiLover Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 That was the reason for my project. That car you see drifting like that probably has the Suzuki engine in it.
