Toyota GT86

[The Creative Explorer]

I started this project a little while back, it will be a celebrating model in honour of our soon to be born baby. I made a Dodge Challenger for our first son and so I wanted to make something for the upcoming child (he or she, we don't know).
Just like the Challenger, I wanted a contemporary model, that is recent.
For this year, I basically had the choice between the Toyota and the LaFerrari and since that thing is hidious, I decided on the GT86, since that one is a bit more normal.

The box, I bought it with a extra set of PE from Aoshima


The colors I used are Sunset Orange from Nissan and Berwick Bronze from Aston Martin


Since a two-tone wouldn't look very good on the Toyota, I decided to go out of the box and come up with a asymmetrical paintjob.


I tried to make a circuitboard on the roof, but didn't like it and put carbon fiber on it.


The engine so far

And interior

Great start!

Very nice start. So do you paint body before chassis and interior?

[The Creative Explorer]

John, no, usually I do it simultaneous with the interior and chassis. In this case, all the parts have been sanded and painted, before I started on the body. I did the parts almost 2 months ago and just started on the body yesterday. I hope I can clearcoat the body somewhere this week.
