e30lover Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi everyone, My hobby started with 1/24 Tamiya motorized kit when I was about six or seven (mid 90s). Since then I pretty much played with all cars in scale, such as Tamiya Mini 4WD, 1/12 RC, Tomica 1/64. I was born and raised in Korea so Japanese toys were very easy to get at cheap price. After moving to Toronto and during the university years, I discovered Italianhorses.net and built bunch of 1/24s(mainly 1/24 sport cars from Tamiya and Fujimi) looking at Alex Kustov's tutorials. Then I stopped making them for about 10 years because I was so focused on my 1:1 car - which I still have it after all these years (91' BMW E30) and life got really busy. Now that I'm working from home, things are a bit more manageable and I recently started building all the kits that I bought back in 2008/2009, and that's when I stumbled upon this forum after searching for Alex Kustov's more recent works, spending hours looking through amazing works from all of you! Here are some of 1/24s that I built between 2009-2010, and I'll soon share out couple of projects that I built recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylde Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) I'm building a 500 SL like you built to match my 1990 that I still own. It's still a WIP because my real car is in storage and my goal is to have it as detailed and accurate as possible. So far...and also the real car. Also modeled and 3d printed the tires and rims to correct scale. Edited November 29, 2020 by Wylde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
