lol, they didnt have any 18" orden 1/24th scale

shit happens

lol nice! 


off-topic, that is superior BOKEH. what lens are you using to shoot that? something with F1.4?

its all in the camera lens combo
5dmk2 w 24-70

Needs some camber, like -45 degrees.

Too much ground clearance. Nice mexi-donk.

I'm a hater. =D

I wanted to buy Bazreias for my model but the 20" scale size turned me off. Got Impuls and Expands instead.

lol
i was abotu to get a set of expands.  Wait till you guys see the y33 when is done. im perfecting pulling fenders on models lol

haha nice... i'm currently working on a gx51 toyota mark II that i did some fitment work on. yes that's the final stance. sorry for the sucky pics

Dayum, StarSharks, I dig it!

Where did you get your hands on that Mark II?

Nice.  You should shave the inner fenders to get it out more, unless it's already shaved.

siiiiick!

nice job krammy!
looks good man.

i fiddled some more and now the front wheels are tucked. i still gotta work on the back

thanks! i also just got a set of ordens and i'm trying to think which model to use them on. probably going on my k-break majesta. can't wait to see the wagon's new stance.

I think its a cellphone camara

How much do these cars go for?

[QUOTE=Yokotas13;229841]i cant see shit, learn to focus[/QUOTE]

sorry dude, its called shitty iphone...lost my camera so cant take decent pics

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;229910]How much do these cars go for?[/QUOTE]

20-60 bucks usually.

Depends where you get 'em and how much shipping is.

HobbyLinkJapan has good prices

I challenge you to a fit-off!

Hahahaha you guys are funny!

do you have to custom camber like that or do they have interchangeable suspension parts. for the wheels, do you buy different widths and offset too?


btw agi, check on ebay theres plenty. a lot of vip kitted ones.

[quote=widebody_Q;229910]How much do these cars go for?[/quote]

The kits themselves run about $20, then the wheel sets are usually $10+. Custom work? Add additional funds for putty, sheet styrene/rods etc.

Some of the VIP kits have alternate suspension pieces with the camber angle already built into the rear. If you want more camber than the kit provides you just need a hobby saw, some putty, additional styrene rods, and modeller's glue. In my case, the rear wheels are attached by a metal rod so all I did was bend the rod until i got the camber I wanted. The wheels are all set widths but for the bigger wheels there's a company (whose name escapes me at the moment) that sells 23" rims/sleeves that you can fit over the 18"-20" scale wheels for additional lip. Alpha's Celsior appears to use those sleeves which is how he has mad lip on his wheels.

what i did is joined 2 lips together to make one and chopped the back of the rim to make it fit the width of the tyre.
i used normal flat lip as a first one and added step lip on the end.just gota fidn a decent camera to make a few shots

[QUOTE=Yokotas13;229142]lol, they didnt have any 18" orden 1/24th scale

i thought the hardcore wheel guys made the car fit the wheels instead of the wheels fitting the car?

:shrug:

yeah, when you can buy wheels in different sizes lol.

you cant make an 18 out of a 20....shit just doesnt happen

do your models with awesome fitment actually roll or fixed wheels?

so i found more useful camera then my iphone

Light heat to the plastic and roll them with a pencil erasure??:shrug::smiley-rofl:

I've been thinking about getting back into doing models again...this make s me want to even more.

I can see this hobby really picking up.  Watch there be a seperate section for model cars one of these days.  I am going to put in that recomendation

man! I am going to hobbytown usa! thanks alot!

[quote=widebody_Q;231312]I can see this hobby really picking up.  Watch there be a seperate section for model cars one of these days.  I am going to put in that recomendation[/quote]

i'll be there when it is :biggthumpup: i have so many kits right now and not just vip cars - everything from american muscle & lowriders to grand champion/yankee style & tuners. meanwhile i'm still trying to get better at scratch building. just like real cars i don't like building my models straight out of the box, they all have to be custom.

Hahaha, me too! Shoot im already there!

me too.got a few  kitsets scattered all over the place lol:)
just concentrating on celsior

i have the Affection blue Oddysey at my house. i gotta get a new one b/c the hood has a giant crack down the middle. i was gonna paint it black and it was gonna look real nice. i hate those tiny clear side markers. lost one in the carpet and the glue f'd up the plastic so the whole kit's a mess

Man, this is dope.  I barely find enough time to work on my car, let alone a model of one.  Awesome stuff though, wish I had the time to do this.

good thread and coo pics , I like it

Been working on a President but I fucked up the body paint so I gotta buy a new kit >.<
