Not too sure if I want to go wingless, so I didn't fill up the spoiler's holes.

looks like you have a pretty good start. Do you have a paint scheme in mind yet?

Nice! I think you should keep the spoiler but thats just me.
XMDrifter
09-13-2009, 01:30 PM
maybe you could shave the wing that it comes with or cut the wing up and make your own wing from styrene, using the stock wing mounts to mount it
Dr. Kustom
09-13-2009, 03:12 PM
Thanks guys! The final color of the car will be gloss black, and still haven't make up my mind on the spoiler yet, I like both wingless and spoiler, but if I do go with the spoiler, I will go for the stock supra spoiler.
Update: Left trail lights = custom, right tail lights = stock.

Ooh nice! I like the exhaust how you make it look like its real by adding, well you know everything! Lookin good so far. I personally as I said before think you should go with the spoiler, though a stock supra spoiler would look good.

looks like somone got a little happy while sanding lol but looking good i say no spoiler but thats just me.
Dr. Kustom
09-14-2009, 07:58 PM
Thanks guys, the muffler is made out of xmods controller antenna, and to keep it scale, I used paper clips to make the mount. And like I said, still haven't make up my mind on the spoiler yet. xD I will have a stock xmods supra spoiler coming in soon, so I will see how it works out for me, if not I can always go wingless. =]

Time for update: Not a major update, just some small details of the car. Have a little free time today after school, so I worked on the headlights lense, my goal is to get it to looks like the stock supra lense, my first try was alright. (I started with the right headlight lense) First I sand down the outside of the lense, using sandpapers, fellow by 400>1500>2000 grit.
After sanding.

After clear coat.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk124/Dr_Kustom/Mini-Z%20MA-010/IMGP0481.jpg
And compare it to the stock JGTC supra lense. (stock lense on the left side)
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk124/Dr_Kustom/Mini-Z%20MA-010/IMGP0482.jpg
That wasn't bad, but I can still see some very tiny micro scratches, so I will re-do that right side lense along with the rear tail lights lense.
And for my second try, I did it on the left headlights lense. It came out just the way I wanted.

Mini-Z Supra are more detailed than the Xmods Supra, plus I have the money. =p And as far as I know, no one have done a Mini-Z Street Supra.

Update: Got a little work done on the left side skirt and the door. Still need more sanding though.

Cool Supra, I thought I saw one, but it didn't look too realistic, but this one does look realistic.

Is the supra supposed to look like this ^? Because if so that's pretty good work you have done there. I think you should put a spoiler on though to give it that look, I can't explain the look but its just missing the spoiler.

10-06-2009, 04:53 PM
those back tires are like 355s... ridiculous
Dr. Kustom
11-03-2009, 04:02 PM
Thanks guys! Haven't done much on the supra recently, but I have changed my mind on the color, at first I was going for gloss black, but then I though about it, black will just hide all the details, so now I picked silver. And yes, the supra I'm making suppose to looks like the 1:1 pic above. Anwyay, enough talking, here comes the pics.

hey man looks awesome...you do great work...silver is looking sweet...i think the black would have too
Dr. Kustom
11-22-2009, 09:34 PM
Thanks man, both color would looks nice on the supra, but the reason why I choose silver over black is because if I use black, it will just hides all the details.
Update: The Supra is back! Did a LOT of sanding to the body, and added some more putty to finish up the side skirts, it should be ready to paint very soon. =]

Update: After finished up the side skirts, I wet sand the body with 1500 grit sand paper and then re-paint the body...with 3 coats of Tamiya gloss aluminum spray paint.

Update: The more I look at this body, the more I'm thinking of re-doing it, it was my first body that done with putty work, I wasn't happy with the result, the paint didn't came out as good as I wanted either, so today I deiced to give it a make over, here's how it looks before I take it apart again.

I have though of doing it in yellow, but this blue just looks a lot better.

I really wish that 1:1 Supra is mine. :lol: That Supra is one of the cleanest I have seen.

amazing job on this...very clean
Thanks.
very clean and shiny =D, I like the 7th pic down it looks very real, btw are you gonna throw on another toyota emblem?
Thanks man, I won't be putting any badges on it though, I only have 1 Toyota badge left, so for this one I'm just going for the de-badged look.
