Thank you very much! This was modified to look like a Starlet using a Toyota Tercel kit ( hard to find as well).
A lot of cutting, reshaping and whatnot.
In no way perfect , but its a nice add to my collection.

One of my favorites.
Dodge Arrow/ Celeste

That is a cool looking Celica/Supra rollin'

Those are nice. What type of wheels does the Z have?

Nearly finished this, need the photoetch badges for the quarter panels, and have to make an exhaust.

Is that Laurel the Doyusha Nostalgic Heroes kit? Looks too good for that. :mrgreen:

wow this makes me want to build models again, its been many years tho :oops:

I am guessing that is the Aoshima 'Grand Chan' edition of the laurel.

510 wagon

OkieRA29 · **Posted:** Wed May 02, 2012 6:17 am

first question you are gonna get on that 510 is where can one buy it? Is it resin or scratchbuilt?
Will you make more? :mrgreen:

john · **Posted:** Wed May 02, 2012 6:46 pm

Looks like the Hasegawa SSS sedan body with a scratchbuilt roof. :tu:

It is a Hasegawa Bluebird like John mentioned. Scratch built roof.

Awesome looking laurel and the dime wagon is sweet. So far the 4th one have seen someone make. I have plans to make one as well, just not so soon..lol

Brendon, thats a sweet little truck. Engine detail and all.

what did you use as a donor kit? Looks like a dato 720??

Long time lurker...first time poster.

Recently decided to start getting back into modeling after about 7 years...I used to suck at it, lets hope my OCD ways now will make them better.

Went to the local hobby shop last week and picked this up:

Ordered a set of Fujimi OZ Futura's off ebay..I'll make em fit.

For the time being I laid the body over a set of TE37's I have from a Corolla kit that I've never done.

Going to get another model after I get paid...figure if I have two or three going at once it'll prevent me from rushing one.
