Power_uP builds 1/24

[Power_uP]

Progress is being made, don't worry. I've got most of the sanding and filling done, the roof is totally smoothed and the rear quarter panels are almost perfect. I've added a raised section to the trunk lid (something Fujimi forgot about), and I've figured out how to fill the pieces under the tail lights.



There's no way I'm making another 2-door shell using this method, so please expect further delays when I'm finished building because I plan to do this:

There hasn't been enough time spent on this project lately because of organising a career change (I made a thread about that too). Everyone will be kept updated as the Lime gets built, and if the molding process is successful then I will likely build another 2-door.

For anyone interested in building a similar 2-door, its worth knowing that the Fujimi plastic is not the same as the Aoshima plastic. They seem to have different rates of abrasion when sanding and the glue even reacts differently to the two types of plastic. I'm absolutely done with Fujimi and I will never build another of their kits. The Fujimi kits are so inaccurate that it would be more appropriate to sell the Fujimi AE86 as a model of a battleship than a model of a Corolla,
