Mini S13 Clone!

[TypeS]

alright, i thought id share my new little clone with everyone cuz it's turning out pretty decent. Just a tamiya kit (discontinued)....all i need is some oldschool ferrari wheels so that i can finish it off.

I've got the whole front end done now but i can seem to take any decent pics, but heres some shots of when i finally did the tail lights.

oh fuck that's nice! good job on that body

how did you do the plate? it looks perfect...... i want one for my RC s15 drifter!

i have the ferrari rims you're looking for, but they're in a different province than i am right now. if you don't find a set by xmas when i get back to calgary, you can have mine.

cool man thanks, as for the plate, i used the one provided on the decal sheet, but instead of using the plastic peice and adhering the decal to it, i simply cut the decal off the sheet and attatched it. Its paper thin so it looks proportionate and the light greenish hue of the decal sheet paper behind the white gives it a more authentic look.

ha ha ha so is this what you have been up to for the past little while?

looking awsome man

[crazydriver]

WOW amazing job, i can't wait to see that thing with some rims

[Hash_man]

Nice looking model, Tamiya kits are the best...

I build models, but I procrastinate so much i barely ever work on them... I have an ITR, and Celica in the works right now. And have a Defend racing R33, EG civic SiR, and race version of a 5th gen accord waiting to be built.

haha my computer was in for repairs for 6 weeks, i had to find something to keep me busy! i think im gonna go to pm hobby right now to look for a ferrari kit that has similar wheels, then its time for the fun of modifying wheels from another kit to go onto the silvia......watch me mess the whole thing up now that its almost done
