Celica Lb

[surgeon]

When the Sh*t hit the fan with my RX7 project, I started to build a more conservative back up, I've decided to stick it out with the RX7 for the member build(and it still needs a lot of sanding and a final clear), but this is where I've gotten with the celica. When I get some chassis spacers in, it will be mounted and finished.






I messed up painting the trim here and have to do some magic on the door.

I used a brush, I am trying to hone my model kit brush skills, I have the ability to paint(like canvas) and want to eventually do a custom painted xmod, until then I try to find little spots to practice on.

Thanks.

Wow Surgeon! You got soo many projects going on, lol. The paintjobs on this one came out really smooth, keep up the great work mate!

[surgeon]

Yeah, I've finally got free time.

The paint did come out smooth...which black always gave me trouble with...and then I messed up detailing the trim. do'h!

Hey surgeon, why not try foil for your trim?

Wow, lol. i just mounted up a 1974 celica model on my chassis. Its not the fast back though.

It looks great, i like the fast back version alot better.

I've been working with what I got to try to save money....you start buying all that little stuff and it can get rather expensive to do your builds.

The 74 is a great looking car to...I am a big fan of the muscle car era imports... they just have the muscle car look, but you can put the modern import motors into them. It's funny to think that japanese cars spent a decade and a half imitating American cars, and American cars have spent the last decade and a half imitating the japanese cars.

What are you planning on doing with color? I would suggest a dark grey, it looks sharp on that body, especially with chrome wheels.
