I've been thinking about modding a few of my die-cast models as of late. I'm planning to go old school though ("lead" work). sportracer02 12-29-2008, 11:45 AM Very brave! I just can agree with Alex and I agree with janositamas, the wheels appear too big. Just another question: Why didnīt you choose a Coupe for the base of your work, f.e. from Schuco or Motorama (f.e. http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120309808766&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=290272232056&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget&_trksid=p284.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DCR%252BUCI%2 6otn%3D4%26ps%3D41 or http://cgi.ebay.at/MOTORAMA-DIE-CAST-BMW-Z4-M-COUPE-RACING-ECH-1-24_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ290272232056 ) blubaja 12-29-2008, 02:33 PM Quite ambitious! Can't wait to see how this turns out!! jano11 12-29-2008, 03:38 PM :eek: Wow! As mentioned, very brave project! Looking great so far! :thumbsup: endac 01-05-2009, 03:20 PM Wow, thats an incredible project Canneth 01-16-2009, 01:54 AM I just can agree with Alex and I agree with janositamas, the wheels appear too big. Just another question: Why didnīt you choose a Coupe for the base of your work, f.e. from Schuco or Motorama (f.e. http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120309808766&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX_Stores&refitem=290272232056&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget&_trksid=p284.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DCR%252BUCI%2 6otn%3D4%26ps%3D41 or http://cgi.ebay.at/MOTORAMA-DIE-CAST-BMW-Z4-M-COUPE-RACING-ECH-1-24_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ290272232056 ) The wheels does look a little oversized but since the real car runs 20" wheels, i guess i will stick with these wheels for now. I bought this maisto diecast a few years ago, that is before they have the coupe version. Progress has been little slow, this is my very first attempt with two tone body color and custom decal, i will touch up the paint and the decal later on. The body and the wheels is yet to be clear coated. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01985.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01969.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01973.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01974.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01975.jpg covered the wheels with BMF and custom decals http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/Canneth/Z4/DSC01981.jpg Started working on the interior but didn't take pictures yet. any comments are welcome. thanks for looking :) jano11 01-16-2009, 06:08 AM Looking good! :) gtidude 01-16-2009, 10:00 AM dude that is fookin awesome, those wheels came out freakin wicked my friend. nice very nice vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
