So I haven't been around much lately. Too much going on in real life to be on the computer. A couple months ago I got my hands on a GT-Four model. I spent almost an hour each day, every day doing little piece by little piece and FINALLY, yesterday, I finished the model! For the record, and I want this noted, I spent 6 hours on it yesterday because my internet was down and we don't have our new TV yet. What was I supposed to do? Anyways, I wasn't able to upload pics/take any decent ones so I took a few this afternoon.

I hope you like them, If you want more detailed pictures, I can put some more up.







Yes... I did the guages:D









And my dad.... lol



Also, I made a sweet background that I hope some people like. I don't know how to host the full size image so if someone wants it, you gotta tell me how.

thats really cool!!!

glad someone likes it

I spent a long time on it and my hands are still stained with enamel.

looooooks good! now get your hands on a real one and do that!! then you can show everyone your model car that looks exactly like your real one

Sweet pics cHinaman! I've had my GT4 model done for about 2 yrs now and I didn't even think of taking pictures like you have with your Celi. Looks cool..good job!

I think I'm about to do the same. Only I have another regular 94-99 Celica model and a Supra model that I want to paint just like my cars too. I have the Supra model finished...hopefully I'll get the Supra out of the garage and take pics with the model too. hehe

Good job! The corner blinkers didn't come in clear plastic?

it has the wolfie custom blinkers

good job! looks like it came out nice.

i would try n use a fine tip brush and minimal paint when doing delicate parts next time.

i have about 8 hours into mine already. trying to make it look perfect =)

also... i can send you several detailed writeups about how to get near mirror like finishes for the body. costs a good $40 for supplies and will take about 3 weeks worth of work, but in the end, it has the look of a new car that wont fade.

I could never find the ST205 at the hobby shops....and I'm currently working on the Alltrac....maybe I should order the St205 online....nice job!

pretty sweet

can you get some nice looking 1" mags for it, that would set it off nice

Thanks guys! I appreciate the comments.

First, the corner blinkers were hell to do cause they were set into the plastic about a centimeter which even my fine tipped brush could not reach.

Secondly, Jason, I would love to see the writeup about how to get the body clean. I got some glue on the outside of mine sadly and I really need to fix it.

And finally, Rusty, I do not know what mags are Maybe its cause its 4 AM I dunno

It looks really good... I know how hard is make it see my work:



and i have as well custom bumper repeaters

They look so real... i want one~

Not a Celica, but this is MY pride and joy






I actually polish AND wax my model, just did a bad job with the spray paint.
