I just hooked up with a resin guy to do my body kits for me. So now that I can produce them and they will be right, what kits would everybody like to see. Just getting some ideas; Buddy Club, Black Widow, Etc.

Any of the ones i'm not building!!!;):D

My advise is build whatever you want to and would enjoy to build. I just pick what i think are cool cars to model. If i picked them as to what would sell well, then i would have built the F+F Supra and F50 GT by now. If my heart is not in it then i won't bother or will put it off - hence the huge delay with the aforementioned Supra.

This post is to clearly get ideas. By no means will I step on toes and produce kits that you have. I enjoy building whatever. Everything is a new challenge and the import model tuner market needs to get more recognition.

Man I wish I had a hook up with somebody that knows how to mold. I would produce copies of all my original front body kits.

You should DEFINETLY make resin Racing seats, I have not seen ANYbody with aftermarket seats!

Reji, Studio27, Renaissance all make them in either white metal or resin.

Have a look on www.mediamixhobby.com.sg

Just buy the necessary materials, and familiarize yourself with them.
You don't even know how to do it. It's so easy that anyone can do it. I started resin casting when I was only 14. Start copying an existing parts.

You will need:

* resin (long curing time is recommended for the first try)
* RTV silicone rubber
* mold release wax (brush on, or spray)
* clay
* lego blocks, or cardboard to surround the mold.

I have a brief description on my page:

but, Moschini has a better page:

Freakray, i know that 550 gt exist in resin kit, but have you try to get one ? that is really hard, as the mr kraft kit was a limited one, the only other kit i know is for slot car..

blitz supra plain and simple that would be awsome

I'd like to see some more parts done for the "old school" rides. C'mon, where's the "rivet head" fender flares for 240Z's and RX-3's? Where're the Bluebird taillight conversion kits for 510's? How about some stuff for 1st gen RX-7's and Celica-Supras?

And if you do a MGB GT with Sebring fender flares and Rallye airdam w/fog lamps body conversion for the Aoshima MGB MkI kit I will be indebted to you for the rest of your life. :angel:

Fly-on-the-wall, I'll be SO glad if you make that body kit. I'll definatly buy it! I've been tryin to come up with ideas for my lancer V WRC and this tihng is perfect (it's gonna be a streetcar)

Back to the topic... how about a 1/24 civic engine bay+engine? How about a RB26deTT engine (Skyline) and skyline enigne bay for curbside kits. The possibilities are ENDLESS <<< how about some brakes? :D

I, along with many others, would LOVE a 1/24 B18c engine and civic engine bay for the fujimi civics. The revell civic engine+bay does'nt look right in a 1/24 civic.

Some of your ideas are good because some of the kits you mentioned are pretty easy to find, some of them aren't which wouldn't be lucrative. Best to stick with what's now or relatively easy to get/widely popular for ventures like this. :)

Well, I know that. :rolleyes: C'mon, there's probably only a hundred people in the world who will jump up and down screaming with delight because somebody release a decent set of lower trailing arms for the Monogram RX-7 Cafe Racer kit.

I was just tossing out as many ideas as I could. And here's another....

ENGINES! If you cast a good SR20DET the world will beat down your door.

Ok here goes my list.

- CWest Evo
- GP Sports kit for any model [they are all hot]
- Top Secret Supra GT300 kit
- TRD Fender flare and whale tale kit for the AE86
- Veilside DTM Evo6
- Veilside D1GT S15
- Veilside D1GT RX8
- Veilside D1GT FD3S [RX7 3rd gen]

-and how about making resin copies of stock parts??

i noticed that the RB26 and 2JZ motors are very popular here and getting the whole kit that has the motor is either 1. expensive or 2. a rarity because the Calsoni Skyline [which i believe is where everyone is getting their RB26 motors from] is already out of production and the 2JZ motor??? duno... but i'd love to be able to buy just the motor and its bits so i can do motor swaps galore on some cars...

also i noticed conversions are a bit of a trend here...especially the Sileighty/Onevia conversions you'd make a pretty buck for people who just want the front end off an S15 for their RPS13 or vice versa...basically all the Silvias are on backorder on HLJ and it seems like they wont have too many left in the future so making copies would be nice.

- turbo's
- turbo manifolds [i know there are how-to's some where on the internet on how to make your own turbo/turbo manifold]
- intake manifolds [now that the revell integra kit comes with a motor i'd like to get a Mugen intake manifold to go in there.
- disc brakes front and rear. vented and/or cross drilled.
- digital gauges [just copy it off the SARD supra or any JGTC car]

thats what im looking for...i know i'll be looking to get these parts in the near future and it would be great to have them available when im ready for them.

i know its alot to ask for -=oP

A Thunderbird LX/Sport front facia that can go on Monogram's Thunderbird Turbo Coupe kit..uhh..maybe a Holden Monaro body that can go on Revell's Camaro Z28 platform, the Mercury Maruarder (sp) that can gon on Lindbergs Crown Vic chassis, and a fox body Capri for the various 87-93 Revell mustang kits out there.

WOW....bringing up an old thread. Well there are already resin turbos (someone aroung AF.com sells them). Exhaust manifolds can be made with patiences. Simple Intake manifolds can be made with a lot of patiences. SAS makes photo-etched cross-drilled and slotted rotors with resin calipers.

As far as the Tamiya engines. The RB26 can be found in ANY Tamiya R32 model. The 2JZ....you should've known that one, the Tamiya Supra of course. Both kits are pretty affordable.

As long as we're adding I want to let Chris know that I'm looking forward to the S2K Mugen kit. **That was supposed to be a hint of motivation :naughty: :biggrin: He has the hood and hardtop.**

yeah i didn't check the dates on the posts for this one...i was just doing searches for cwest and this is one of the threads that showed up -=oP

anyway i forgot that SAS had those Misc. parts i only remember them for doing the resin bodykits. and as for the motor...i looked at Tamiyas new R34 2003 JGTC Calsonic skyline and HLJs description of the kit says its just a standard curb side kit[no motor] and i currently own a Tamiya SARD Supra JGTC and that has no motor either...or maybe you meant by getting the stock R32 model skylines and stock Supras? i wasn't so sure as to what model to get i've had the SARD supra for awhile and i remember reading some where that someone got their RB26 motor from a R34 Calsonic Skyline...eh...i might be wrong...anyway the Supra and R32s are on backorder as well...i've been to my local hobby shops and they didn't have any R32s either i just remember seeing a VSpec II R34.

either way some people just want the motor...in this case "me" i dont really care much for the Skyline i just want the motor for my datsun! >=o]
