so realistic looking love it

awsome build and great scratch work , love the outside of the box thinking .. loving the headlight position also makes it look so agressive

thats looking so cool , love the brass effect and it being a bit darker then usual doent bother me , like you said you wanted it a bit brighter , now it looks like it never got a polish i find this topic particulairly interesting because i saw 2 kits like this for sale for almost no money (maybe they are impopulair here?) now i see the content of the kit i can see i could build a cool little hotrod out of one of these

i would def. make the top sufface buldge a bit because then it just fots way better with the cars lines ... like said the rest > perfect

cool a 510 , love these cars ... (i like most vintage japanese cars ) nice job so far

hey wes. i also found this great forum cool to see you made the headlights working ... grts richard

awsome and the black engine wash def. makes the engine come more to life then without and when its in on the pics it looks great love the bodycolor and pinstripe on the nose !!

yup looking great , just finish it off paint it some wires and hoses and it will be great

cool set up , i build the exact same kit myself , def. going to look for a nother one , great kit imo looking great

thats soooo cool personally i would have loved the flat black with those decals better but thats just taste , pretty cool job on the cf decalling , i know it bends well when heated but on this scale it must be a challenge

very clean build great color , what is that like very dark grey metallic ? when i saw this the roof shape reminded me of a old model toyota celica

wheels look great and love the suspension

###### thats hot , works so well .. the purists will get a heart attack but hey :lol: loving it , finish is superb

i see cool ... keep up the good work grts richard

hi thnx and yes it does , it started out as a .... what should we call it fun project and something to shoot future builds in and before i knew it i turned into way more .. in fact for me what i have now is still the base .. so much work to do still (witch is good building it is the fun of it) and yes when i started more idea's kept flowing .. at one point i desided to ease down on the rough stuff and build some small stuff just so i can get a better idea of the scale and proportions.. the plans was to scratch as much as possible until a guy who stopped with his hobby seold me his airbrush for a friends price.. when i got there to pick it up he gave me the fujimi garage tool fit for free and i must say its so fileld and full of detail , still have enough to assemble from that kit i also got filled parts boxes all kinda hotrod related .. but yes i have so much plans still ..and its su nuch fun , when i finish this (no hurry at al) i will def. build more dioramas , they def. will be way smaller then this one

found this thread ..............and when i started i could not believe my eyes .. just when you think you can build a decent model yourself , you see stuff like this this thread is sooo inspiring , stuff like this pushes you to incorporate more and more detail in your own work at times like this i think > i love the world wide web

looks great really question and shoot me if i'm wrong but isnt it a bit high ? (ride hight wise)

thnx ... btw i also did a deusenburg 1/18 die-cast into hotrod ounce with a ferrari f40 v8 and blower from a 1/18 v8 , roof made of the louvred window of the f40 ...(thats what got me into modelbuilding and made me go plastic 1/24) lol also a one off .. when i have time i will post that one also

actually you are spot on when you sand it thats what it looks like even the scratches you can make in it is like a die-cast when you sand it actually what you do is you spray a coat of alunimium on the body , it looks like silver metallic paint and when clear coated its fine and nothing happens to it. when you dont clear it and rub it with a cloth it already turns more to metal and when you sand it ... such cool stuff but its available in difefrent versions i used to get it from work ( ) but then they got a different brand and thats completly different and turn into real matt grey ..

stunning , so nice !!!!!

thnx awsome story i also saw a citroen (french) delivery truck thing also would make for such a unique hotrod , i still find the kit to expensive but i'm sure i will find one cheaper soon here is a picture of a die-cast model so you can see it better , how cool is that to hotrod we will see when i finish the pick-up what will happen to this ford .. still think it could be so much cooler with some rougher looks

thnx all

stunning work , really beautifull , paint and decalling is so nice ..

thnx

thnx all
