horsepower Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Really nice so far, but you could have probably save a LOT of putty if you had used a few Viper parts in the build, there is a lot of lines that closely resemble a Viper in there.
Bartster Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I think you're an excellent sculptor. Perhaps you could raise the wheel wells a couple mm ? I think the tires & wheels are fine but the ride height is maybe a bit high ? Fantastic work any way you look at it ! Bart
Phildaupho Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Fantastic demonstration of scupture. My favorite part of model car building is building a car that does not exist in kit form.
Rick Schmidt Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 When I seen the pics of the car I thought "Man thats Ugly" seeing your build tho I don't get that I think you have refined the idea and made it presentable. So far your build looks great
Elliot949 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 hi Guys i try to answer to all your questions : @BKcustoms : i work mainly with tool fitted on dremel (i don"t know the word), scalpel, cutter and sand paper. @ajshot58 : front bonnet will not open, so no detailled engine. @sportandmiah : i use "sintofer" polyester bi components putty. the one i use is "soft", easier to sand. @GerN : youre right, my shape is not accurate, i took liberty to modifie the original design, because what i prefer on this project is the front. i don' like a lot the hard top and the tail, to short for my sense. however i don't know if my design will look better.... @many : i know that wheels looks a bit too big, but i haven't better in my stock. i have got some pegasus wheels, the rear one could fit, but the front are to small ! Doug (sportandmiah)... What he is using is comparable to Evercoat Polyester 2 part filler that you can get at almost every Body Shop supply House... I hope this helps you out...
Kennyboy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I love where this is going. Beautiful re-creation of the original. You sir are an artist. ....and no we are not related. <-------- Edited February 3, 2013 by Kennyboy
Paxton Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 some work yesterday and this morning on the snake. manufacture of exhausts. body has been painted in pearl white. painting of small parts and decorating the body, and finally clear coat.
hjracing Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Wow! I'm really impressed whit this build! Take a model body and give it a totally new shape as you do implies a big amount of skills and imagination!
Kennyboy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Wow Christian! I am just blown away at the pictures of the body in paint. It looks like a freshly painted body right out of the box! Just amazing work! You are a true inspiration on my next build. (Prowler into Stiletto.)
Paxton Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 thanks a lot and i have found an "other" Boyer on the forum
Alyn Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Great work on the body mod's, and excellent choice of colors.
sjordan2 Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Very nice, excellent design work. I like it better than the Shelby redux.
Greg Wann Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 She is a beauty. Congratulations on a job well done.
cobraman Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Love it ! Turned out excelent. Front kind of looks like one of the BMW sports cars. No ?
