Default The Z is Finally Done! Well, Sorta...

.......My Mini-Me Z is done at least lol

Here's a 1:43 scale side project i've been working on. Took me WAY too much time to do, and too many small EBBRO cars to convert everything (such as to LHD, get the cage and interior, glass, etc..) to look like a street car. Scratch built intercooler in front, blacked out headlights, LHD conversion, tow hooks, recaro's, takata harnesses detailed, full interior custom fitted (this car started out as a RHD GZOX race car!). Detailed floating rotors / calipers, wheels to match the real ones on the car now, real metal mesh in rear flares too. I'm not a professional, just do this as a side hobby...
Re did the base in real CF, and detailed the packaging to boot.
Anyhow, just a small scale of what my REAL car will look like almost to a T.







and a color shift w/lighting:






lighting left a bit to be desired, but you get the idea......

And yes, the real deal is nearly IDENTICAL to this scale model!
(the real Z will debut shortly....)

hehe thanks

forgot to mention, I'm working on a fully detailed 1:24 scale to match this one as well! The larger scale will allow me to detail and replicate the engine and interior including suede and bride material inside, along with a motor to match even with the stillen SC! So that's another side project going on
