JoeBrown Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) so this is my first post here. ive been building models since i was like 6 but they were straight out of the box. this is my first attempt with styrene so instead of starting with something easy, ill be building a whole body kit and extras.

JoeBrown Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 ok update! since this is a hatchi and the interior tub that came with it didnt have any hatch area details i figured i would add some! so i cut out the back seats. and btw i love jdm and i love drift cars so this car is gonna be like a car from formulaD/d1gp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Nice work so far, I like the idea of giving the back area the look of the seat down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBrown Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 i finally got some work done on this since im still burned out from working on my 1:1 supra. and i bought my next project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAone Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I dig it man. Got some good things going. 86 owner approved. Just some advice for them rear seats. This version doesn't have a "T" shape when you pull the seats down. It's just a square shape with a seam on the middle as they are a left and right side. If you want some great reference pics go to www.club4ag.com there's a section where people post their builds of their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
