cham 2020,

how's ur modelling so far?? I just came back from HK and I tell you..there's a huge market for DIY kits over there and the price is more than 1/2 cheaper compared to here!!

i bought nearly a dozen models (Tamiya) and it's a paradise there compared to here...

yeap
i am getting two more daihatsu mira (FUJIMI ) tomorrow from singapore

and recently 2 more evo iii safary rallyand evo iv acropolis rally....

coming up few touge fujimi kits

2 hasegawa civic 4 doors

Added on June 14, 2007, 11:36 amWell, this is my first attempt at building a rally car..lots of things to learn..
Wetsanding and polishing the decals under the clear coat is hard and need to careful..

I am quite frustrated as there are fitments problems with the kit and I can't believe Tamiya have fitments problems as I build a few Tamiya Evo's without fitments problems...Like the rear lamps wouldn't fit, side mirrors will not fit, interior doesn't fit 100%....

I weathered it a little to try my weathering skills. This model is not very perfect as there are mistakes and I am learning from my mistakes....

This is my most detailed model I build under 2 weeks....


Enjoy....

Interior


Exterior.

cham2020: i like the EVO VII u posted there, reali nice. is it 1:24 scale?

cam5229,
beautiful collection you have there! What happen to the autoart evo vi headlamps?
your models are looking good...the Tein evo i have but havent build yet...
scare i ruin that model...
to ans your questions
1) to create dirty effect, i use poster colors and tamiya enamel colors
2) i use tamiya enamel colors and mix it with enamel thinner to dilute it
alot, then use brush,let it run along the lines and clean the excess..

schumisupporter,
yeah,t is 1/24

Latest Build(Evo VII RS)


All my 1/24 Build up Evo's

was learning how to weather my models.... and this is my test subject... my hotwheels wrx wrc.... i kinda liked the way it turn out... but still can improve though...

but you need a few more colors to make it realistic...

what you mean by mixing colors? meaning painting them seperately or mixing them then paint?

Guys, noob here.. just starting out on this hobby..

Where is a good place to get tools/equipment (paint, polishing compound, wax, sand papers, paint brushes, masking tape etc)?

There's a lot of discussion on painting the car body. Any tips for painting the interior (ie. painting seats/dashboard with different colors etc)?

Thanks in advance..

this is my tamiya guys.
so ugly
