you should see some of the pics I have taken lol that cadillac was spotted 1 block from the beach. I also got some pics of a 1989 isuzu imark rs! I want to isuzu so bad! Lol

How about a there I fixed it? https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/t31.0-8/11061181_814444965301236_9142887512703188556_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9

oh it is $300 as is with motor and gearbox Photo added

Thank you for the reply, but I have never made a bumper before, so I kinda dont have a clue on how to do . And I dont want to melt the rims I just want to "warp" them. Make the plastic soft enough to bend. And to me moving the shock tower mounts or wheel pins or even sanding the brake hubs at an angle is a shotty mod and I never seen angled brake hubs on a 1/1, the rocket bunny gt86 from aoshima has a set of those, ues it makes nice camber bit very unrealistic to me. Thank you for the reply.

I almost got a 1989 Isuzu Imark RS with the 4xe1 dohc engine but it has no interior and it needs a hood, bumpers, fenders, And both rear quarter windows, engine and ggearbox mounts and alot more! the upside is it still has the original alloys as well as a rare irmscher grill and oh and its a sunroof optioned car! i got pics of it somewhere......

Hey everyone long time no chat! Any who I do have a few questions if I may ask? 1: how to make modern (1980's+) car bumpers I.e. for example turning a revell '99 Mitsubishi eclipse into a sort of stock 1998 Eagle Talon TSI AWD? I always liked the look of the talon better than the eclipse hands down! But the eclipse kit comes with 3 front bumpers none of which is stock or anything close to a talon bumper, so needless to say I chopped up the f&f styled bumpers and started with that in pieces but I'm now stuck on it ugh. 2: how long and what temp can I soak styrene in water for it to be bendable? For example if I want to make of offset instead of dish\ lip on a set of rims? 3: I have seen and read Mr. Newport's article of stance (a.k.a.: hellaflush, stance nation, low life, dumped daily, just to name a few) on "slamming" a car in today's fashion fad. How do you achieve such "low n poke" i just can't seem to get anywhere without a lot of cutting........ Ugh. (Specially the stupid revell kits that everyone claims are easy to slam) Idk if anyone of you guys seen these videos but they are awesome and amazing! 1/24MOTORING

lol yes, they are hard to find one thats not rusted and falling apart on its own.... ugh plus the one rusty 3door was like 1600, i laughed hard at them. and in the tuner world is what im kinda subject relative, i like tuners more then classics and muscles...... or that is where im kinda shooting at. and its not all called hellaflush, there is many many other names for it now. hellaflush is just more popular, plus they mostly show luxury sedans. and yes it would wear out the inside quicker, but its all about the look. im not lying if i could have my car up like i posted, i would drive it like that daily, thats just me.

alright, kinda took a break from the model scene, since i kinda dont have the extra room to build one, even those i did finish a '92 honda civic coupe, with some body work, mix of integra type-r grey rims and stock oem chrome s2000 rims, lol. s2000 steering wheel, and such..... not perfect at all, because of my limited build space..... witch is none.... the whole front suspension is glued in white elmers glue for an easy tear down and rebuilt when i feel suited...... that was difficult on its own... but mostly i have been working and playing with FL Studios 10 XXL producer (aka: frooty loops) music making program, so im making my own music and stuff.

i understand the copyrights. thank you guys. um, if there is all this copy rights on everything, then what makes not to say all the research and pics we all gathered to build a model is wrong? then how would we be able to build exact stock replicas unless we each person can takes our own pics when we see them, but how often do we all encounter cars like a veyron, or a nismo r34 gtr z-tune, or one of the shelby daytona coupes? i was just curious about sharing the information since some times we cant find stuff like this anymore. and i thought it would benefit our kind of community and others interested in old books, and such, ect. i cant post a scan of the cover, BUT please REMEMBER these are local library books, so they will have the markings and alot of wear and tear.......... give me a day or two, and witch section should i post t he covers? thank you everyone.

ok, i just want to be safe and not sorry, you know. there is one person on here that scaned and posted a model mag article on how to make a working soft top for a 1/24th scale, but that was like years ago......

cool jantrix, i just havent seen many like those in the pics i posted. so i was curious. thank you for the reply.

few more examples.....

i know there is different ways about doing this, but has anyone ever built a model with stance? I.E. camber, slammed, ect. EVERYTHING stance style like the new trend in the tuner world? 2 examples below of stance, there is many different forms on different cars........

hey guys, long time no chat. been absent for awhile and now im back. well let me get to the point... i checked out a few model car building books from the library tring to find some extra tips and stuff, and i was wondering would i get into trouble if i scaned the books and posted them here for other ppl to enjoy? i going to scan them for my personal use, but i wasnt sure about sharing them. 2 of the books are old.... like really old by DENNIS DOTY, and another book too. i know alot of ppl have read them and ect. but for those who havent or anyone else that wants some extra referance materials, i wasnt sure. any answers would be greatly welcomed! thank you, and ill post pics of my finished civic coupe sometime soon....... lol Brandon

i know the revell parts pack engines has cranks in them and iirc rocker arms detail, but thats about it..... also same with the engine in the amt '66 old 442, rocker arms detail.......

well since i found a hobby shop, a new one, i bought 2 kits, a revell audi r8 and a revell ferrari enzo, now time to get some crazy colours for them........

and the last few: merc sl600: and i spotted this today (3/24/11) at 12pm: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 pearl white: thats all i got for now......

here is more.... 1928 ford truck used inside wal-mart as a "Synder's" display stock honda accord with nice looking rims for it a euro styled modified Vdub jetta 1988 Alfa Romeo spider veloce few more pics to go!!!!

wow long time since i posted pics in here, so here we go: nissak 240sx saleen s281 90's fox body 'vert: stock clean '00 honda civic si cool lookin merc: chevy 454ss: more to come!!!!!

wow, this looks very nice so far, i cant wait to see more done!

well some of you guys might not be happy with it, but judging from the pics and videos i have seen,....... it looks like they fixed the "paper rims" proplem from gt4...... whitch im happy with that the most!

wow, i found one of these in a r/c hobby shop. it was like $20-$30 for it. i wasn't sure if it was to expensive for it. and i think they still have it too.

wow, this sounds like a cool CB, i wish i could join, but sadly i cant. ugh

no prob, i like taking pics of random cars now, it became a secound hobby for me, since i post them here and also on an aussie forum that a very good friend of mine owns and runs. nope, brevard county, i live about a good 10mins from the cruise ships port. and funny to mention a dakota 'vert, i have seen 2 around here before, a red one and a white one. but i haven't seen them recently.

huh, interesting EDIT: i edited the pic cap for the warlock.
