my model kit in the works, not for the 56k! Options

[timmy_Tam]

hey all
new to the forum, never was one for the celica, i'm a rotary man
whats that? thats right...MUNCH MUNCH pistons for lunch!


anyway, friend of mine's birthday is coming up soon, and i though i'd build him a model of his celica he used to have

he used to be on this forum, username NAKED
but he sold his celica n got a mx5 (+1 for the mazdas!)
mostly because his work requires something more 'professional' and he was tired of 'crab crawling' along speed humps, ramps, etc

anyway, heres the kit i'm building, would apprecaite any suggestions, criticism, advice, etc

thats for all the comments and critismn guys!

for the record, i think the wheels are fcuked too
i bought them as they were advertised 1/24 scale, same as the model kit
i'm guessing one or the other IS NOT

but i have to agree with you all, compared to the stock wheels, its pretty much stuffed!!
manphibian, that looks good, but only in drawing
the real thing is just shocking

i'm gonna have to cut down the rear bar, and extend the lower lip
while also custom building some rims, possibly out of putty, toothpicks and whatever else i can think of
lol

tomazws: its better to put on too much and sand down, than too little and have to add to it (which doesn't always stick well)

and everyone, please PLEASE PLEASE keep the opinions, suggestions and critismn coming. i'm not going to take offense or be upset, every bit helps!

stay tuned for update
