  1. Nice! First ipmressios on the new Skyline and Supra?
  2. Will be following! This a al time favorite of mine. Sweed as I am this car have been seen, not in person but in Mags over the years.
  3. Cool build!
  4. Interesting. I guess it’s up to the storage manager to decide what’s in there. I will ask them if they can order the Mog and mustang. ?
  5. Really clean! Great work there!
  6. Beautifull! Really came out great! Tamiya is some thing special to me, I like when I don’t have to re engineer a kit to make it look the part!
  7. Been doing some tinkering with the model and testing out the wheel and tire combo. Front wheel look way to big, so a smaller tire will be needed. Also ride height is wrong. Need to do a better mock-up to determine how much it has to be lowered but at least 2mm in the front. been doing some sanding to The body and trying to come up with a plan for the vents. I would like to keep them But they are molded shut and it seems like a pita to get them open, the plastic is tick! Use to work wit Tamiya and this body is so much thicker plastic. Will make it hard to open the hood as well with my current tools. I have also been fooling around with seats. Might go with a set of stock C5 seats to keep the illusion up that it’s a stock, just slightly modifyed C5... it would also be gooD for highway comfort. Will se if I manage to cramp Co driver seat in there.
  8. You found those at dollarstore!? Great find! Never found anything like that on my local one!
  9. Great progress! Thanks for the tip on cutting the hood out. I plan to do that on the C5-R and will definitely need to reinforce it. Tacky glue, is that similar to school glue or canopy glue? I have been using tack-it ,white almost as gum for pre assembly but it tends to get lose and build a little height here and there.
  10. Some Great pictures of the C5-R https://www.artandrevs.com/news.php?id=177 https://www.turnology.com/features/car-features/team-raceart-and-their-number-006-pratt-miller-c5-r/
  11. Welcome! An other sweede here, from the north.
  12. Beautiful! A old favorite of mine! Was so close wining an auction of that kit not long ago.
  13. Haha thanks! I like that part of a finished model!
  14. Thanks! Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! Yes i had some for sure! Turned out good and I enjoy looking at it ?
  15. This is so up my alley! I have finished two kits last year with this type of theme and have one more on the go. But for the competition entry I will start a new one that I have wanted to build. It’s the Corvette C5-R. Plans are grey body, no race wing, maybe some thing smaller. Will probably remove the possibility to open up the rear body work but a luggage compartment is needed. Katech engine will be with out its restrictions so a good HP output is expected. Wheels and tires will be five lug since racing across the country you might be able to source a wheel if it’s five lug oem bolt pattern.
  16. Looks beautifull. A true modern icon!
  17. Beautiful and clean build!
  18. Beautiful builds al of them! A real effort making so manny!
  19. Cool builds! I am a sucker for that Chevelle! Need to get my TA inspired Chevelle done.
  20. Thanks allot fellas! I appreciate the kind words!
  21. Incredible build! Some really neat scratch building there!! Great work!
