  1. Hey, does anyone know if a scale model of a 4-door BMW E28 has ever been made in 1/25 or larger? If anyone has any sort of answer whatsoever, PLEASE tip me off. I really want to build a tribute of Rusty for Mike Burroughs. Again, if anyone has any clue whether or not one has been made, I'd REALLY appreciate it if you told me. Thanks!
  2. Follow the link, and you'll see why I LOVE this build. When done right (like Rusty, the E28), Nu-Rat is a killer look. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28343&st=20
  3. WOOOOOOWWWWW!!! That car is just plain incredible. Love the detail work on the Eaton!
  4. There's really only one you would want, but feel free. The Evo really photographs well http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii233/cobrawannabe/Models%20and%20RC%20Cars/?start=0
  5. That looks flat-out baaad, man! Great, great build.
  6. You can still do the taillights, if you look at the ones on my Evo, those were smoked with a Sharpie. They're a bit darker than my taste on 1:1s, but with the titanium-ish colors that are on bot your Magnum and my Evo, it looks great!
  7. Sharpie tint those taillights, and it's perfect, IMO As always, you have high-quality build going on!
  8. Beyond cool!
  9. Thanks a lot! Many people think the look is stupid, but I'm glad some get it I wish it was half the model you build, Steve
  10. I'd doing that with a 65 Mustang I'm widening the arches on right now. I've used that method before, and it works really well. I may even try heating up a set of extra fenders and "puuling" them once they're thinned out.
  11. Better pics of the Evo. Please ignore the white on the tires, I threw them on while the white was still drying:lol: Wanted to gather opinions before I wasted more time on a retarded look... Also, the rack was lowered.
  12. HellaFlush is a bit of a stupid name, IMO. Irt just means "really flush", as in the lip of the wheel is perfectly lined up if not +/- 1mm from the fender. It's a GREAT way to make your car look good, but saying it is a GREAT way to sound like a tool Thanks a lot for the compliments, everyone! Keep the comments coming!
  13. Cool, man! I'm working on a '68 GT390, myself
  14. I HEART BLACK WAGON WHEELS!!! We just threw them on with a 3/2 lift on my buddy's Frontier. Thanks for all the interest and comment, guys! Here's an update. The basket is square, I just need to get it sitting level on the rack. This was only a test fit.
  15. I did consider the luggage rack on the trunk, but I just can't get over my hatred for trunk-mounted racks. Thanks a lot for the tips, I'll be trimming it down a bit today. I've always loved the steelies on that Civic
  16. I will start by saying that I am a muscle car guy. Always have been, always will be. But that doesn't mean that I don;t love other cars. Lately, I've been getting into the fitment scene which originated in SoCal. While your approximations on the scene are 100% correct, you did miss a bit While having a great, low stance and a good set of wheels is considered paramount; a truly great car in this scene has character, personality, and artistry built into it. Being different is just as important as sitting right, and accessories are a great way to achieve that. Nice:lol: Yes, sir, it will
  17. Well, here is my latest project, I decided to go in a completely different direction than most people do with Xmods, and do a euro/ HellaFlush theme. First step- Stance, weird-*** colored wheels, and a bit of rust. Now, onto the second step. A roof rack with detachable basket. It's progressing quite quickly, and I hope to have the fog lights mounted and the whole thing painted by Monday. It's made from ".032 Styrene sheet and 1.5mm half-round. Starting the basket... Mounts and crossbars on the roof... And the two mated up for a test fit... So, what do you think? I know it's a controversial style, but I like it a lot
  18. Ditch those wheels, man! Otherwise, it looks like it should one darned cool project!
  19. Hey sorry for taking so long, but I actually used some old pinstriper's techniques I've picked up by reading magazines Practice and a whole bunch of patience is all you need Hey, can i add a different build I'm working on? I'm mounting a '68 GT 390 to an Xmod chassis!
  20. No worries, man! I was talking more about the sign-up list, but hey, I got somethin' good out of it. I'm not a huge fan of the paint either, as I just kinda did it to see how it looks. It will most likely end up Sassy Grass Green
  21. No love for the 'Cuda?
