I blended the front lip with some putty earlier today. I will sand it down when it dries and take some pictures (probably sometime tomorrow).

There's not much to see. Here is the un-sanded putty:

we need paint fazzzzze.jp
no rush
it looks really smooth and nice right now

I'm going to the hobby shop in a few minutes to pick up some primer. I blended the lip some more, now I just have to shoot it with primer. Once I fill in all the little imperfections, I am ready for the first coat of paint.

I am also in the process of sanding down my Falken Trueno autoscale, and I am going to make a custom front bumper for it since I stole the lip from it to use on my pink AE86. I will be using the side skirts and rear bumper that came with it, and I will be painting it white with black bumpers.

I'll post some pictures when I have both bodies primered.

wow the body work on this car looks really good, i'm having trouble geting along with the pink though...

the thing i like the most about this car is how well the exhaust pipe turned out.

Faze. 02-07-2009 08:35 PM

Thanks for the replies guys!

I primered the whole body, and added putty to fill some small imperfections.

In case you are wondering why there is a little cut in the hood, that is where a tow hook will be going.

I actually liked your stitch idea that you tried on the side skirts, I may borrow that for my own racing 86. Body kit is defenetly smooth, but also seems way too plain and kyosho-like. Consider adding a few more strips of styrene to liven it up. You've already started the project and haven't lost the desire to finish, so make it worth the time and money dude.

okoye 02-09-2009 07:09 PM

bro he just repainted it im sure its abit late to redo it
