Quick update: I started a new topic for this project in the appearances section of the forum. I hope that's the right place. If not, I think you could find the posting by searching for my username. Thanks again!

Hello, all! Please join me as I attempt to take a (1:43 scale) model of a red Autozam AZ-3 and transform it into a raspberry metallic MX-3 GS SE. Why am I doing this? Well, the truth is...I'm doing it for love. Automotive love and boyfriend love. :wink: My boyfriend used to have a 1993 MX-3 SE (V6, ...

Great news! :D I ordered the red Autozam AZ-3 off of ebay today! I'm not sure how long it will take to ship from Japan, but if it doesn't make it in time for Easter, then I will just work on it and present it to him later. I've found a few places that sell the right paint (I even remembered to use c...

Thanks! I have no problem putting the work in, but the $100 price tag is a bit steep. Knowing him, he will appreciate the model no matter what, so I think I will just buy one model. Thanks to everyone for so much advice!

My question about painting is actually can I paint over the existing paint or do I have to strip the paint and add a primer like with a real car? My dad has a paint booth for his antique cars, so he could help me prep the body(granted I'm talking about a model). I would want it to last, not have the...

It would be great to repaint a model...maybe I could buy a white model and put some coats over it? Thanks again! This was supposed to be for Easter, but I might j...

Awww, believe me, I would buy him them in mint, showroom condition in every color if I could! :( I was doing some reading and I could be completely wrong, but it sounded like the raspberry metallic wasn't made overseas. Therefore, I don't think I could get a model of a raspberry metallic one. :( Tha...

Thanks so much for that info! I was only searching for an MX-3, but I was just thinking about searching under the foreign names. As much as I love him (I loved the car too, even though purple is not my color) and would buy him a fixer upper in a heartbeat, I can't afford that. :( Plus, it would be a...

Hi. I'm new here. I need some help and this looked like the place to go. My boyfriend used to have a 1993 MX-3 SE (V6, Raspberry Metallic), but he totaled it on some ice. I've never seen a guy so devastated! Well, I'd like to get a replica of it for him. It's been over a year since the accident. Do ...
