What do you think?

T-cut the STI logos on the rear, front and sides. Fitted the RB320 logos and new boot lock

Painted the seats to look like alacantara RB320 seats (decided to leave the carpet rather then painting blue - should have been that way anyway)

Final job is to paint the front mesh chrome then job done.

and before anyone states the obvious, Yes I know the wheels arent the right ones.

You have too much time on your hands!!! :nono:

Excellent work though.....good skills :thumb:

I was thinking about trying to get a model for every car I've ever owned.....like a 3D photo album. I think some of the cars are impossible to find in model form though.... Datsun 100A, Corolla GT, etc, etc.

Any tips for top model supplies??? :D

This place has some good ones, but not what I want!

too much time.....are you joking!!!!

this has taken weeks to get to this stage doing a bit when i can

I have another 2 to do exactly the same, I will be auctioning the 3 off to raise money for the RBF

Good work Mark! :thumb:

looks cool thqt

Nice work mark... lol :thumb:

where can i get one from?

Excellent work, really does look accurate.

To hijack the post a little, I've been trying to find a modle of a classic UK turbo MY00. Any thoughts?

Thats quality mate.

cheers

you'll have to get the police car version that AutoArt do. Thats the only one they do for UK model in classic shape

other then that there other manufacturers that do them but quality is very poor.


I've emailed AutoArt with pics and links to the RB320 site, doubt I'd get a response but worth a try.

I have started a bidding over on the RB320oc forum for this model, the winner will have a choice of the registration plate, current price is £126 :notworthy

so thats £66 so far towards RBF

so did you buy a normal one and take it apart and then add new bits to it?.

The only classic I have seen is the WRX Type R version in yellow :thumb:

There is a white 4 door STI 3 by AutoArt as I have one here. They also did a blue one the same and a 22B.

children children children!!!!






i want one too :D

Fantastic job, well done mate!!!

Where do you get the cars from and how much are they?

I WANT SOME!!

i got the yellow type-R off ebay for £17 new, was going to try and give it the P1 treatment
the prob is when you start collecting them you cant stop lol

i love the RB320:notworthy

mark

stunning work, very well done. i wish i could be arsed to do cool stuff like that :(

Wow you got a RS200 there

:thumb: :thumb:

I bought them off ebay

yep

where did you get the extra bits for it. the company is in the usa. how long did it take to ship it over

poundstretcher or whatever they are called these days Instore I think, were doing a variety of the Autoart Scoobs for 9 quid :)

i printed the logos

Great skills there mate.

Reminds me when I used to spend most of my time building RC Cars and adding bits and bobs. Still even have some of my FG (1/5th scale) Porsches at my Mums that are just collecting dust now. I did a replica of the RWS Red Bull Porsche 911 GT3RS . Took me ages to get some Red Bull Stickers to fit the 1/5th scale shell. Managed to find some in Germany in the end.

Did AutoART go bust or am I thinking of another company? I've got the Le Mans 1/18th scale models.
Did anyone do a black bugeye STi model?

Steve

Excellent work :)

I do like my Autoart models as well

Black bugeye STI's going for £20 on ebay

mark, i have a few tamiya kits if you get bored!!!!

:)

Ive got mcraes focus! not sure weather its auto art or not! damn expensive though!

the Rb320 is nice will have to look at the RBoc site lol
great work!!
