Awesome, another one. You have a great collection now. Your Vanquish body and custom decals is looking sweet so maybe more custom decals?

Good luck with it mate, I can't wait to see a few of these appearing here as finished soon.

cheers mate,,,,
and as for the (custom decals), there will be a new one for my Vanquish Body....
today i will finish the last touch ( PS-31 ), and then will apply the custom one and will updated in my thread....

probably, by next week i will get the BP1 and will finish the Avante2001, but as for the body,,i guess it will take a bit time longer, since this will be a shelf-queen, so want to make it rocks ..

so any news about ur Egress?

cheers

Great, I'm interested to see how the smoke looks for the windows and undercowl.

I spent a couple of hours with Eggy last night. The front bumper and shock tower fitted and then started building up dampers. I have a body and wing cut out ready for paint. Mine will be built up first as a runner so I changed my mind and fitted the old scratched up plastic. It's not as pretty as this one but I do have all new plastic waiting for her retirement (thanks to Avante 2011). These are a joy to build.

You will have to post a pic of your cars together once finished! You have a great quiver of Avante's there.

Will install the wheels and the tires when the BP1,2 arrive

your advice and suggestion are most welcome....
Cheers

everything is ready here. Press Bag arrived Today..











But i noticed something...
i cant install the BP1 & 2, cos they need a screw with 3x12 & 3x25......
and cant find the same in ebay........
anyone can help here..

[94eg!]

What is BP1 & 2?

[Tamiya Era]

What is BP1 & 2?

they are ( rear arm stay ) where they are installed on the reinforcing plates. this is only comes in Avante 2001,,,,
i guess u have it..

[94eg!]

Oh okay. I thought you don't use those if you switch to the carbon chassis plates?

Still, I guess it's one of those things that makes it a 2001.

[djmcnz]

What do you mean you have to wait 7 days?

Yeah... I didn't get that either...

Anyway, I'm at a loss distinguishing all the Avante/Egress/Vanquish variants lol so I can't even tell what is what on this build. It does look good though...

Vintage has real character. All my display models are "vintage" (read: old). But really, after running a good 511 I can't see myself ever re-running an old one... I did a fair bit of that already in my day.

[Tamiya Era]

Exactly, no need if going for carbon fiber guide,
but i want to make it distinguished among others, cos all the carbon fiber kit will look same except for the body, and i was trying to put in every car its own stamp

so hope to get these screws soon, or it is already done with hop-up aluminum nuts
so either ways ( with BP1 & 2 or not ),,,,
cheers
