captin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 New model that Im starting, bought it off ebay for a good price. Im making this one pretty much box stock with a little more detail. i love this car from the movie and the 1st fast and furious is my favorite the originals are always the best.
TFchronos Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Cool! I had forgotten they made a kit of this car, I've always wanted to build the Charger but those kits are expensive apparently. I'll be watching this good luck with it!
Deathgoblin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I'll definitely watch this one. I'm just finishing up the Supra kit from this line. I'll have to post pics.

I'll be watching this good luck with it! Th charger kit are the old Dukes kit but with a wannabe 1970 grill thing for a bumper. If you want a correct model, get a revell charger and mod it up. It's better then that amt fnf kit thing. I built a Supra about 8 years ago for my friend that is like a brother to me. It's a good kit.

MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Jim,your right about the charger but at one time you could not find the charger on ebay and if you did they was over priced... I was not aware of that. Then again I haven't been on ebay for a while now.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks for the info Jim, that's what I will likely do if I ever get around to building one. Your welcome! I hope I don't hijack the thread here, but a nice dio of the two would be nice to see.

Brian that would be cool to see pics of the supra i was debating on that kit or the this but this was such a steal i went with the eclipse
captin Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Well im feeling a little adventurous on this kit im going to make functioning door on it. I've read a little bit in magazine about doing it and watch a couple videos so hopefully i dont mess it up lol. Have any tips feel free could use all the advise i can get on this one lol. but if i mess it up they always say you learn best from your mistakes.
captin Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Bottom of the eclipse, im going for a driven look. i primered it then i took some vallijo black grey paint and sprayed some areas to create shadows then i used ak interactive dark wash to create darker shadows and the fuel cell is painted with model masters steel paint. still have a little more detail to add to it but turning out good so far
