  1. whow ...just looked at all the build pics , awsome presentation , but even more awsome work .. you now have a new fan of your work so awsome .. all the details , sratching and paint techniques are all top notch looking forward to see more of your work in the fufture
  2. awsome !that body is sick !! love it and keep the steelies look way better style wise !!
  3. hhhhmmmm tasty looking great !!
  4. well i use the program bumptop its like a 3-d desktop , you can go round in the room and have 4 walls and a floor . the icons can be trown around and slide actually you can also pile documents and have like a real pile of folders ... also you can remove filenames and since i like it clean i did at first it seems very simple and you can choose some stock styles , but using fotoshop and a lot of trial and error you can make your own room i went for the checkered floor with red and some cabinets , its all made by me in fotoshop and even the modelboxes on the bench i made myself .. to make something flat and get it looking a bit 3-d in bumptop took me some trying out.. its not all 100% accurate but when you put in some time you can get a real convincing room now mine is still a work in progress , so far i managed to get modelcar kit boxes on the bench and a paper flyer with a car like its hanging over the edge .. my plan is still to make a real modelbuilders bench with glue and tools and maybe even a case with models .. but like said to get it looking convinsing it takes a lot of time some screenshots of what i have right now so imagine your seeing the floor but when clicking on a wall the room turns or gos up ...you can really rotate the whole room around .. interactive desk top the only downside is ounce you have this you cant go back to a normal desktop with background it just looks so boring then
  5. looking great
  6. looks very good !!!!
  7. i also have a fun project just to tinker with a oldtimer honda cm 250 i could buy for almost nothing and totally original and running perfect bought it like this , no road tax its a official oldtimer , adn very low budget with old parts from several honda bikes started to change it took a oldskool honda dirtbike front wheel (much bigger) and redid the drumbrake and painted it dropped the rear to the ground with hagon shocks , thought of hardtailing it but i just wanted to make it in a simple grocery getter its just as hard now as a hardtail these shocks are almost solid lol then went for more black , lowered front legs , rubber sleeves , painted teh headlight black that handlebars are not .. just for a test on hight low stance and a very small bike , i'm riding that with a hoody / sneakers and a metal flake helmet rear wheel painted black so well this summer i need to continue it , needs a new fatter front tyre , going to black it out but do the tins in metal flake some flake grips and footpegs .. al in all so far this whole bike cost me 500€ thats purchase , parts and all thats roughly just under 650 us dollar but that gave me a lot of fun
  8. always been a sportsbike rider ... had several very fast bikes but stopped with those because io need my license for work and its hard to control myself.. im not dangerous on a bike and i have common sense but when the road is suitable i always opened the throttle my current daily driver is a result of increased taxes , expansive mortgage and ffueal prices ... so i went small and wanted something fuell efficient but still kind of fast and not something you see on the road every day ... so i went suzuki and bought a ignis sport .. just a road legal go kart .. corners like .... and the performance isnt bad ..in fact most big cars cant keep up it was developed by suzuki sport as homologation for the suzuki ignis junior world rally car , all kinds of inginious techniques and a lot of bang for your buck .. weighs almost nothing still want a real hotrod or american musscle car but here thats rare and i just cant afford to here in holland
  9. hmm very cool indeed i really like the result
  10. very very nice !! the kit wheels and i dont mean this in a bad way for me let down the car a bit , better said the body / chassis / engine combo are so cool and for me realistic ... the wheels kind of look less realistic to me then the rest , hope you know what i mean ? but thats one cool and clean build
  11. and a nother cool unique build , love it !!
  12. perfection !!!!!!!! this is just so cool , its like boattail meets hotrod and i love the whole car ! and very very clean top notch
  13. finished the hand rail so they can finally go upstairs in a safe way not real logical since there is no storage upstairs but i liked the shot
  14. thnx charly just heard a rumour that the garage would be inspected soon .. so got the staff to quickly start a handrail on the stairs rought first set up maybe i will do one along the wall also
  15. just go for it its way fun well desided to try and make the english wheel more matching with the rest and used some paint juices fgollowed with a layer of clear coat . then redid the chrome on the rollers and added some matte rust added a iron workers decal and a die-hard decal. then found out a vw bus badge fitted in one of the drilled holes , i thought that looked like fun ,, like one of the mechanics put that in there also have some bolts for the floor plate some pics with de "t" and the towrod
  16. thnx guys and brock for me seeing other great dio builders helped me and pushed me to start and want to make it as good as i can ... just start and you will see its really not that hard to create some nice looking garage stuff ...
  17. seems very interesting , also when you post bigger post more then one i'm curious
  18. whow thats awsome , but we def. need way more pics then this i want tro see more angles please
  19. well i'm not real pleased with the english wheel , so i decided to try out pin striping and did so with a hand pensil / brush i'm thinking of making a nicer english wheel so used this to test pinstriping on to much lines yes also in real life it looks betetr then on a picture ..
  20. nice , going to follow this the 1:1 is way cool but i dont dig the red chassis and headlights would be so much nicer the same brown or black
  21. lol thnx guys , and what is next .. i really dont know never had a plan from the start , just sit and build and make up as i go ... i do need to make some handrails along the stairs .. i think i will be doing that in the end more small details need to be added like all the wrenches and tools from the fujimi kit.. and maybe i will try to make some special tools myself i also still have the floorstands for under the axle and a garage jack from the fujimikit .. saving that for last because scratching stuff is more fun btw davis i have to say on the english wheel i'm not a 100% statisfied with the result so maybe i will make a new one later on
