That's...beautiful. Really classic color combo. I too really like the big Fuchs on the narrower body.

I'm hoping Hobby Design makes a front fascia with open grille areas and PE mesh. When the grille areas are small, painting them flat black is no big deal. Those are too big to go unnoticed IMO.

I haven't posted in forever but had to join in just to LMAO at that comment . I know what you're referring to and I don't understand the appeal of the malaise-era Olds, etc., either. THIS, on the other hand, is a car I actually wanted IRL. Would you consider slapping an M88/S38 in there? I ordered an extra, just to do that-- in the name of reproducing something like this: http://www.euroclassicmotors.com/galleries/E30M3.html My thought was to build an informal, street-and-track-day car using the engine that Fujimi has already given us in the old M635csi kits. The coolness factor supercedes any reservations I'd have about modding it.

Indeed. Revell made these in so much bad taste, and it's refreshing to see someone make the effort to turn it into an attractive model that would look good in full scale too.

Awesome :D. I love the subtle color scheme. It reminds me of something the Ring Bros. would do on a classy pro-touring build. Also the first time I've seen someone try out the Spaz Stix colors on styrene. Just found your build thread; keep up the good work. Nick

If anyone has built any of the motors we (JJ and I, his US distributor) would love to see your builds Nick

As Clearly Scale's US dist, I'm eager to see the company grow. There's a ridonkulous amount of cool stuff on the horizon . Jeremy is both a straightforward businessman and an extremely-skilled, oldschool craftsman who doesn't need modern technology to make truly-accurate engines and complete models from scratch. He has the rare gift of being able to execute his dreams straight away, which means our "what-ifs" become eye-popping prototypes in no time. When packaging this stuff for customers, I'm always struck by how carefully it's molded and finished. Believe me when I say there isn't a single component that hasn't been scrutinized before packaging. Nick

A friend of mine, Jeremy (aka Clearly Scale, the guy who did the Vector on another forum) is working on a redo of this, with better-fitting parts, and provisions for interchangeability of an 8v, 16v, and VR6 (all of which he's working on, in some state of progress). It should be here sometime this year. He's at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Clearly-Scale/381978565229192

Hey Ray, What sort of body kit do you want to build? The most difficult part by far is the rear valance. Everything can be made with a combination of sheet styrene and putty though. Buy some 0.10 thickness styrene sheet and some Tamiya 2-part putty. Milliput will work too. You want 2-part putty because single part putty will shrink.

I'm doing a project with a couple of big turbos which need external wastegates... but I don't know how to even start to make one. If you have any ideas, please lemme know! Nick

Same here. It's really "hot" paint but its fast-drying properties are really forgiving when it comes to wetcoats. It's great stuff, and the only stuff I use. Spray your first mist coat of clear into the last wetcoat of color, before it sets up, and you can easily finish the whole paintjob in a day.

Above and beyond what's awesome Do you sell the resin sleeves?

I'll give you a kit, if you want one to work from. PM me Thanks everyone! And yes, I have done that.

Now that's interesting! What happened to the front flares? My plan for the "missing lights" was to install them :b

My jaw just hit the floor . That's awesome, man. I have a Koenig 928...I'd been looking for this kit as well. Beautiful job so far! Are those 17" BBS with P-Zeros? I

This happens to me too. I get totally wrapped up in what I'm doing and can't get to bed or to sleep. A lot of times I'll lay there thinking about what has to happen next, or I'll wake up thinking about it and have to jot down what I need to do. I also have dreams about finding "holy grail" kits. And then I dream of the other kind of models too

Thanks guys More to come, as soon as I get a few hours away from my job.

Thanks for the complimentos Some dry fit pics, just to give you an idea: Wheels looked too bright and "plastic," so I toned them down with detail:

I started with this Here's the interior so far, minus pedals, door-panel shelf, and window cranks: Homemade instrument cluster made from styrene, using clear plastic gauges from Model Car Garage. Head unit and steering wheel are Aoshima pieces. Badge is MSM creation. Harnesses are F1 pieces made by Scale Motorsport. Shifter is a straight pin with a craft bead impaled on the top. Signal indicator is another straight pin, stabbed straight into the steering column

Stanced exotics make me happy

I kind of see "transforms into a giant robot" Anyway, I love the combination of shapes. I've never seen anything like this, and would love to watch it turn into a porn star hauler lol. This is the kind of vehicle for which oversized metalflake was made. Paint it like a bass boat

Nice . I built this one last year with 20" BBS and some gangsta inspiration too. Are you planning to go lower? This is what I ended up with: http://public.fotki....m/07.html#media Been cleaned up a lot since that shoot.

I only have some ugly shots of the interior, before I stripped the enamel. This was meant to be a "quick build," and then it got out of hand (like they always do lol). I decided to start the exhaust concept with a set of these. I'm not sure if they'll be pointing straight out, or inclined upward. I plan to scavenge the back half of a Fujimi Countach for the lower half of its engine, so I can build an actual exhaust system.

Creative insanity man, I love it

I'm loving the stanced 928. I remember you building your purple one with the 703 plate while I was working on my widebody version.
