bonehead23 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Don't want to sound like an uninformed weenie, but what is a Rocket Bunny, and what is the brand and make of this car???! Forgive me for being ignorant of a lot of stuff! Whatever it is, it looks good so far. If you intend to paint it white, you probably already know you need to use a top-quality primer or it will be grey! I just had this problem with a red plastic body that turned orange instead of yellow! I didn't lay down enough primer. Taking time (being patient) is always a good idea.
cobraman Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Isn't Rocket Bunny just some tuners or such ?
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Isn't Rocket Bunny just some tuners or such ? To the best of my knowledge, they are the manufacturer of a line of aero kits, fender flares, wings, seats and associated bits for mostly Asian vehicles, but some European ones too.
om617 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Nice choice of engine and wheels. If you dont mind me asking,what kit offers this engine full detail,or is it resin?

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.
martinfan5 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Nice choice of engine and wheels. If you dont mind me asking,what kit offers this engine full detail,or is it resin? 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/
Chuck Most Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I'd tell you to lay off on one particular subject... but then I remember the 10 Hudson Hornets, 4 Ford C-600s, and all the other kits I've built multiples of and then I sort of come to the conclusion that I should just keep my mouth shut about that.

Scale-Master Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Building the same car repeatedly? What a concept. I might try that!

Pierre_tec Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Good luck building that frs/86, and as many over here told, Rocket Bunny its commonly heard nowadays in the tuner community, similar as liberty walk, japanese tuners, just cars trends copy in scale

Scale-Master Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Thirteen!? I guess I'd better start another Seven, again...
martinfan5 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Thirteen!? I guess I'd better start another Seven, again... Yes, 13 of Aoshima's version, four of Tamiya's version , I think you need to start several more Sevens
ferrari87 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 holy SH**** a VR in an 86?! ingenious!!! Hurry up and build this thing already! I'm looking forward to seeing this one, great choice!

martinfan5 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) :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. Edited March 1, 2015 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 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
martinfan5 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Almost ready to start painting mock up for the heck of it and the paint
martinfan5 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Body is about ready for the second stage of the color coat, what see in this photo is the stage one of the paint, I did a about two coats of silver, few coats of white primer as well. The interior is about 99% done, but have not took any photos of it yet. Edited March 13, 2015 by martinfan5
Pierre_tec Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Looking good!!! Any idea of the color of the wheels??? will look good with a gunmetal, or matte bronze, but its up to you...
