  1. Engine Engine compartment , added heat shielding
  2. Last update, almost finished
  3. Thought about using some different headers, those have a lot of heat wear on them .......................................
  4. If you guys do not mind, I am going to post something about the model Started with the chassis, first, coat of Tamiya Silver Mica, followed by white primer painted the exhaust using Metalizer steel and burnt metal Doing a seat swap
  5. http://youtu.be/RLBZ6F8wJU8
  6. I am going to agree with Tom and Nick, just try a different nozzle , that should take care of the issue, no need to try and return the can.
  7. Yep, I call them dust collectors I have a China Cabinet sitting in storage that I could fit all my completed builds in, problem is I dont have room for it in the current house anywhere now.
  8. I do like the color , nice work
  9. :lol: , this thread has seem to have gone in a new direction and taken on a new meaning, I am not sure if this is about a model anymore.
  10. I still has no correct GTi parts kit
  11. I think, and its of my opinion, that if Revell did the 98 and up body style, it would of been a hit , even in the current style of kit, "build and play", all the police car guys probably would of snapped them up, I know I would of been down for at least a dozen, its real head scratcher it is, but it is what it is.
  12. Here is a look at what causes the door fit issues, before I go on, I need say that I had help from another builder that help figured out part of the reason that I missed on the first one I was building. Starting with a mockup of the interior floor with the rear bulkhead in place The red lines indicated the areas that need to trimmed The red circles show you the hole between the door panel and the tub, there should not be a gap there I know its hard to see in this pic, I had a hard time getting it to show up, but its there After trimming , a test fit, getting real close , I will do a mock on the other side to show how much the door sticks out
  13. Yes, 13 of Aoshima's version, four of Tamiya's version , I think you need to start several more Sevens
  14. this is number 13 of the Aoshima kit I have built, I think I can handle it
  15. Awesome Frank, thank you , gonna have to get a couple
  16. I see what you did there, and this time, it did not go over my head
  17. I feel better now that I know what to do to make them fit better
  18. Tommy, the engine is from Aoshima's Nissan R35 GTR kit, I believe there is only one offered in resin , and you can find that here http://www.eightyone81.com/ek001-nissan-vr38dett/
  19. Oh, you dont sound like a uniformed weenie, the basic car is the Toyota 86, Rocket Bunny is the name of a series of body kits made by Kei Miura, the kit is made by Aoshima Here is some info about him http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/05/inside-the-mind-of-kei-miura/ http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/10/the-rocket-bunny-frs/ http://www.speedhunters.com/tag/kei-miura/ My plan is to use silver as barrier , will paint all the parts in silver , then come back with white primer.
  20. I will cover everything needed to make the doors fit soon.
  21. Mike, door fit issues happened to the first one, there is a good bit of work needed to let doors sit properly
  22. Yeah, burning through my stock, with the second version coming sometime this year, so after this one, I have one more left Going to try and do this in white, I like the look of them in white thinking these are the wheels I am going to use And then there is this
