crazyjim Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 It's so cute. Good looking build and I like the SHINY :)
rmvw guy Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I love it! I like the way the top comes off too, cool!
Austin T Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I kinda love/hate the wheels,I love the way they look and I hate how delicate they are in real life.Great job.
sports850 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Looks good , looks like a realistic swap . I'm surprised there aren't more scale engine swaps in mini's since they are becoming common in 1:1 , I've been trying to find a scale Toyota 4EFTE engine (starlet GT) as that's the common swap down here .
glenn Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 nice mini,im trying to find a 1/12 mini as I have a hayabusa engine to put in it.

Glenn , whereabouts in Oz are you , last I was in Sydney Hobbyco (QVB in the city) had a couple of the Tamiya 1:12 mini's (around $100 though) , here's one I'm doing with a Suzuki GSX1100 engine front mounted , it's sitting at the back of the shelf at the moment while I do a couple of quicker projects but will be back on the bench soon . http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53127&st=0&p=622646&hl=gsx1100&#entry622646
