Nice bug!

Thought I update on my Impala details.. for my own sake only so to speak 🙂 btw, all carpets in this one are from a whey tissue that I washed before letting it dry and after gluing it in with white glue I painted it. Looks like the real deal to me. Builds a bit of thickness though.

Beautiful build of a beautiful car!

I think you are absolutely right. If it’s a backdrop it and it’s models can be a bit more muted than if they where a ”front” piece. I will keep their clothes quite plain and not to much pop in them. here is the latest addition to the garage. Made it to look more like my 1:1 than what came in the fujimi kit. And added decals on it much as my 1:1

I also did one just now, a tamiya with some parts from the Top Secret Aoshima.

Made a set of inner fenders for the front wheels. And I took some final pictures of the interior since I believe I am done underneath but I have not glued the chassis to body yet.

Looks nice there! Nice collor!

Cool!

came out great! Nice build!

Nice build!

Came out great! Really sinister! Definitly my cup of tea! Like it allot!

Great build! and such creativity there! In the first pic it looks so suprised

Incredible build, such nice little details you put in to it!

Thanks! Hehe its a classic look on these! As mentioned, my friend did that one out of a pencil and styrene Thanks! Thanks!

Did a bit of work.. not much to show but the ECU.

Thanks Carl! It’s done and in the cabinet

So this used to be my friends kit, and when we went to gymnasium 22 years ago he left it at my place and never picked it up, later when I asked about it he said keep it. So I decided to try to build it even though these are not something I would build, R32 and R33 yes but I am not a R34 fan. The muffler is something he built from scratch. He also painted and assembled the chassis to the biggest extent, I sprayed some blue on it to simulate overspray on his otherwise white chassis. body is painted in model masters acrylic blue and have imperfections but nothing I care to fix. I sprayed the windows from the inside with Tamiya LP smoke and it got to dark for my taste but Made some thing out of it with the stickers. wheels have a bad offset for these but I sorted it by drilling bigger holes in my printed discs and grind some away to make them fit. Overall I had mixed some parts from the aoshima Top Secret Skyline rear lights among others but I decided that it was ok and jut went with it. Well now it’s finished and it will park nicely next to my supras.

Was slapping this one together. Just glad to get it of my desk. Some minor details and a cleanup and it’s done.

Nice start on that chop top! I was dooing some research and it seems that the kit you have would have been my go to as well in a way if i wanted to do what you do. It seems to have a '32 frame in it only thing is misses in my eyes are the '32 grill which the movie car has. The other Revelle '32's have air suspension rear end and electric fans. I guess the biggest difference i can see is the lower part of the door on this '30 ford body and their '32. And since the American Grafiti have no rear tank as the 32's do this resembles that nicley. Keep at it!

I manage to make a mock-up of a truck that have been floating around in my mind for awhile. A step side log bed on the ‘99 Silverado kit. Aoshima hilux bed insert fitted very close to what I had in mind. I was searching for some wheels for my daughter’s build and scavenged through my skyline box. And decided to just slap it together never the less I like it or not. So I added some decals and will slap it together tomorrow just to make it done.

Another Truck mock-up. A 3d printed dually be from a GMC with a Toyota hilux long bed inner bed, which fitted exactly as I wanted it to. Wanted to have a more modern square body step side look but with the dually bedsides, have newer been found of the bed GM made for the step side on this generation and the one before. Could probably bring the bed sides in 1mm or max 2 per side to make the look stick better. Wheels are some die cast wheels I found ages ago that got fitted to a set of wide tires so I got that stretched truck wheel look in my eyes.

Looking great!

Nice work!

Looks like a great bunch of parts for such a build! Keep at it

Nice way of enjoying old builds!
