I figured I would post my CRX model progress here since I kind of highjacked "larfuls" thread on his model. I am pretty far along with this build but still have a good bit of work to do to finish it. When this is done is is going to be the "future" shot of what i want my 1:1 to look like once painted with new wheels (within the year I hope). I started with a Revell integra kit and tore it apart for the engine and engine bay, the CRX is Fujimi (I think) so here is what I have so far.

You can see pics of my 1:1 car here, these are the pics I am using for reference

And here is the model progress





















You can see all the pics here but this is the link to 1 of 13 pages so you will have to sift through to see them all since it's to many links to post here [IMG][/IMG]

what model did u get the motor from?

 

And here are some pics I just took 5 minutes ago, I just layed the first coat of primer and you can aslo see the resistor box for the injectors and the wiper motor on the firewall. I am working on the map sensor now.

 

Jay Jackson, I didn't know you were on here, this Luke, from highschool if you can't remember. Models looking good as always.

Ebay, Ebay, Ebay. That is your best shot

 

also hlj.com and best1hobby.com....hlj always has them in stock and has a better selection but best1 is in la and not japan so it ships much faster

 

woah, thats too much patience for me. to you though

oh yeah, if i were you i would eliminate the resistor box, and fuse box and say you did a wire tuck! lol

 

i wish they had a 4dr modle. i bet thats way harder to find than a crx or hatchie.

 

PSHT still waiting on mine...I ask for one personally and you see where that got me. I could poop in one hand and wish for a CRX model in the other and all I would have is a brown stinky hand.

Well considering they do not make that one at all your are right, it will be harder. The only Civic 4dr in production has been the EG 4dr, only EF in production is the CRX.

In real life maybe but since this is a model and none of these parts are made (In the modeling world) and since this is going to look like my REX I went ahead and made it. I also plan on adding all the wires and vaccum hoses before completion.

You should probably put a water mark on the engine pictures or else some jack *** will try to sell it on ebay as being REAL.

OMG that would be so funny. If someone actually built on that looked just like a real motor (like above). Placed on garage floor and snapped a pic. Then sold it on ebay as a JDM SIR motor lol. Technically they wouldn't be scamming

lol, Yea that would make me laugh. I was using a watermark but the program is no longer working and I have not found another one yet to use. All though I have not really looked hard yet.
