    Love the front plate to match the subtle decal under the door. Nice focus shot with the usdm teg too, the scale discrepancy is barely noticeable

    I've ordered a couple of the new aoshima kit as well. Cant wait to make a stock version!!

  2. Very nice builds! I'm a Honda head myself and love your Spoon sports themed EK. The EJ and EM are really wicked too! Just getting back to the hobby myself and your builds are really motivating

    Are you planning on building some of the other Honda kits by Hasegawa, Fujimi or Aoshima?  B)

    The EF is finally about to be released!!

  3. Amazed by lack of rust on civic.  What "goodies" does Z28 have?

    The civic has its fair share of dings and surface rust, I just put up one of the better pictures :P

    The Z28 is the 5.0 H.O model with the L69. But it now has a 350 with heads and a cam but not sure exactly what, 1.6 roller rockers, edelbrock intake, 3.73 10 bolt posi and exhaust work. The rest of the car is all original with around 60,000 miles

    Thanks for looking!

  4. I haven't been on the site in quite some time so I've decided to start with a post of some acquisitions since my last visit!

    My daily driver I bought last fall for super cheap;

    '95 Honda Civic with a b18b from a '98 Integra...

  5. Do you have any plans on an engine swap?

    -I'm planning on putting an engine, I'd like to check out the resin 1/24 engines I've seen around but sure about them yet.. Either that or attempt making one. Not so much scratchbuilt but perhaps sectioning a 1/25, adding material and detail where needed.

  6. looking good!! i also a honda guy but more about collecting than building.

    Its that the one made by Revell??? also that subframe looks so good!!! i try buying the one eigthone81 sells but are sold out long time ago, keeps showing pics!

    - Same here, I have quite the collection going as well. Yes this is Revell's RSX. We'll see about this subframe, the dimensions are fine just the look isn't quite right yet.

    I worked on the front suspension this afternoon.

    Continued by removing material from the inner fender/wheel, some faux axles and then some more test fitting!

  7. Another honda/acura I have on the workbench at the moment. This is one of the first kits I built a few years ago when I returned to the hobby after having not built a kit since I was a child.

    I decided to take it apart and give it an overhaul since I've gathered some materials and skills since it was first built. So far I gave it a fast sanding, lowered the rear suspension and scratchbuilt a subframe brace and lower control arms.

    Any comments or criticism welcome. Thanks for looking!

  8. I think I have a few too many Hondas on the go... After taking a break for too long, I'm back in the hobby room and have been working on this lately;

    Just a quick mock-up. It has been lowered, just checking the stance and height so far. I snatched these wheels from the Civic coupe kit by revell.

  9. My great trader list is small so far but it consists of;

    Patrick Myers, aka Patrick2005

    Ben Barth, aka hgbben

    I've also bought some nice resin pieces from Mike DeLuco, aka Shucky.

    I would recommend all of them!

  10. This is terrible news and I'm saddened to hear it. I've been buying from Dennis for the last two years, in fact my first online buys for models were through him! The prices, selection of kits and shipping times were always great but most of all it was the customer service. He'd always answer random questions I had or hold on to an item here and there until my next pay. Wish him nothing but the best in his next venture in life!
