o your not making this into an xmod? i though you were haha o well looks really cool
|
It would be sweet as an Xmod, but I think it will be awesome anyways. Looks good so far. Can't wait to see it finished. :)
|
i think you need to sand the body and paint it because i can see molding seams
|
xmods or not that thing is is awsome!! btw nice find
|
here i got you a picture of the front:
http://gallery.tsukaeru.jp/sa/s-22-147-1.jpg anyway, nice to see that someone is building the actual kit instead of ditching everything but the interior and the body, lol. looks good, hope to see it finished soon. good luck! later T.I.M |

But it doesn't really matter. I've got Initial D 4th Stage on DVD where I can see it. *lil update* Wheels (only fronts) on. Body mock up. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2630/img3265rq1.jpg *Update* I started to paint the body. I just hope there's enough paint. I ran out while painting my Barricade... Stupid fruit flys or gnats keep landing on the body trying to get high of the fumes and there's a bit of bubbles comming up. So much for high quality Tamiya... must be my painting. No pics because... I'm too lazy. And it's not done yet. |
Whee a double post...
The paint: http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/3716/img3266lo1.jpg Simple yellow. The body as it sits now. It's got one layer of paint now. The paint is running out so I'm waiting for a good time to paint. Well. There are a few uh-ohs (bubbles/ orange peel) otherwise a bit of sanding will do it. http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6683/img3267fs1.jpg http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/8646/img3269kc8.jpg Intercooler :D http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/4412/img3268lo8.jpg |
I mean i have a mazda RX-7 like urs but mines a GT-C,google it.
|
Ahh.... I see.
|
this is really frickin' noobish , but why did you paint a yellow car yellow?
|
Because that's what the model instructed. And I was going for the Initial D RE Amemiya RX-7 look.
|
ok. it just didnt make sence to me.
|
Because the weather's nice again, started to paint more of the body and spice up the interior.
http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4537/img7639x.jpg Rear lights painted: http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1381/img7640.jpg Interior shots: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5071/img7637z.jpg Note: The rear right seat is a little messed up because the flat black underneath started to crack and peel. http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/307/img7638.jpg Now all that's left for the body is a few more mist paints then its on to final assembly ;) |
Thanks all n_n
Well, I got a little too excited with the paint, and it ran and bubbled a littl ;( http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2200/img7652s.jpg Good news is that the wing is finished with its paint :D http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/872/img7653.jpg |
Runs and bubbles happen to the best of us. Nothing a little 600+ wet-or-dry won't cure. Wing looks nice. I said it once and I will say it again, this is going to be one cool model. It's Aoshima, so I am assuming this doesn't have an engine bay?

Right now, I'm trying to use 600 grit sandpaper to get rid of them, but the paint hasn't dried well enough for me to sand it out >.< |
Thats one of the worst times lol...you can't do anything but wait or else you'll really botch your paint. I found that out the hard way.
|
Its, allivveeeeee. After an entire year. Really been that long o.O
Well, I still tried to fix the paint problems. Then I messed up. Bad. Lots of bubbles. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1971.jpg So, I'm starting from square one again. So right now I'm in the process of sanding/ paint thinnering all the paint away. Then I'm going to sand it a little, put down some primer, then hopefully put down a good coat of yellow paint. Le process: http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1972.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1973.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1974.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1975.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1976.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1977.jpg |
looks nice i would paint it red if it was mine
|
Well, still continued to work on getting rid of the paint.
http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1987.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1989.jpg Got the side bits loose so I could remove more paint. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1990.jpg But when I tried getting the front bit off, I snapped the nubs that it was attached to :'( http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1993.jpg There were still little bits of paint left in the cracks which were annoying to get to X( http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1992.jpg Fast forward a day~~~ and I got all (well, at least most of it) removed and glued it back together ;) http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1995.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1996.jpg One of these days when I have time I'll prime it then paint it yellow if I have enough paint left. |
Spray painted...
http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_2651.jpg http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_2652.jpg It's got a bit of a rough spot near the front, so I just need to sand it down and give it one final coat. http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_2654.jpg |
still looking good...
