vitanvk Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Hello. I am a modeller from Bulgaria and like very much building rally cars. I decided to produce a full multimedia resin kit of Mazda Rx 7 Group B car and would like to show you the progress. As a starting base i will use Tamiya and Monogram kit. First, i casted the Tamiya body, before the big transformation Then i decided to use the second casted body and make the fenders. Very rough, but after the putty it will take a good shape Regards, Vitan Edited May 7, 2013 by vitanvk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) That's gonna be sweet! I like it... Most of these old RX 7s around here are in BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH condition and sound like a broken lawn mower...

IMSANUT Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Looking very cool. Looks like it would be easy to convert this to an IMSA spect GTU car as well. What are you planning on charging for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Looks great! Here is a RX-7 that I want to build some day. http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/aos/aos47453.htm Speaking of WRC, how about Sebastien Loeb coming out of semi-retirement and beating everyone else in Argentina by almost a minute. He is the greatest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice work on the flender flares. Cool trick with the 1:1photo viewed at the same angle as the model. Definitely a good way to judge the correct proportions of your modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you planning on charging for this? Hi, i am still working on the project and do not have final cost of it yet. It is planned as a detailed multimedia kit with photoetched parts, engine and decals, which means more parts, but the price will be reasonable for such a kit and similar to what other brands charge or a little less:) Thanks to all for the kind comments, this definitley motivates more:) Edited May 8, 2013 by vitanvk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadstermatt Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 looks good I have seen one of these cars being driven in anger they are quite spectaular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Very nice. As you can see from my avatar, the RX-7 is one of my favorite cars. I have 1985 sitting in the garage right now. And...your work is most excellent! Edited May 8, 2013 by Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might I request that the spoiler be a separate piece rather than molded to the body? It would make what I'd want to d a whole lot easier. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing the progress!!!

vitanvk Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Hello, i guess the spoiler will be a separate part anyway because there is a radiator under it And a little, but important update. The wheels for the model were created. They came out really nice i think. Meanwhile, the work on the body continues, so i hope soon i will be able to show this to you finished.

vitanvk Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi, Time for a little update on the project. I have received the 3D printed wheels and would say i am very happy with the result:) Meanwhile i continue with the work on the body and the details-the skeleton for front lights was done and now it has to be shaped. i also corrected the front and rear bumpers and the front hood. Lots of work has been done and as you see lots of work still needs to be done….. Therefore not so much to see, actually everything appeared to be a bit more complex than i thought at the beggining...but i guess i got the spirit of the car already.. Work continues, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Nice start to what looks like is going to be a sweet build. I agree, and your casting of a whole body is quite inspiring in itself. I'm watching this in great anticipation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasemonkey1697 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I love the way this build is going along. It makes me think of the '82 Rx-7 that a friend and I swapped a 13B sequential turbo motor into, these cars are a blast to drive. I'm definitely going to follow this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
