discussion Subaru Impreza WRC Safari '98 and rally crew.

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Hi Ade,This looks great, did you make the axle stand and tool boxes etc...

Big ***** from me...

Andy...

I ordered the Tamiya Rally Mechanics set for the crew and all the tools, they do add that little extra to the build. My original idea was to make the gazebo as well that they use in the field but when I thought about it I figured it would spoil the look from above.

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions, I'm in the middle of correcting and updating the build now.

Well done Adrian a very nice build and layout 5 stars from me

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

So after listening to your advice I've updated the model some.

I've added wheel hubs, nuts in a tray , dirtied the exhaust and corrected the mechanics boots

Again any more advice welcomed.

Small and subtle changes, but makes all the difference.

Looks great!

(i might stain the fingertips of their white gloves with a bit of black to simulate grease/dirt)

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

The gloves have a dirt wash already on them, just the flash on camera makes them appear way whiter than they already are.

Hi Steve, I used Tamiya TS-21 spray for the wheels, I don't have the instruction sheet to hand but I'm sure it was listed from what I recall.
