Hobby Show - for G modelers...I guess
http://ihobbyexpo.com/public/c_about...m?menu_id=8000
guys, there will be the annual Chicago Hobby show early sept. Not sure about you guys, but I'm into plastic models, diecasts, and RC cars along with my 1/1th scale cars. hehe I am friends with the people over at HPI (RC car manufacture) and they even make a replica 1/10th RC car body based on my 98 Prelude. I'm asking them to make a Primera P11 body for their upcoming MicroRS4 model, a 1/18th scale 4wd RC Car...which my buddy at HPI designed. well, if you guys are interested, check out the above link for show info. only $8 to get in at the door. this convention center is like minutes from the O'Hare International Airport. :bandit: |

how do they model after a car?
Like, is it by eye, or do they take measurements and transfer them? I've got a Nitro RS4 racer with many extras collecting dust in the garage. |

they do take measurements and then have to bias the wheel base and width to match the rc chassis. it's very artistic. and then they make a hand made mold out of all the measurements, etc and walla!
cool, yah, got me a Pro2, Pro1, Mini, TC3, etc. etc. got about 10 RC cars that I work on in the winter time. |

WOW, seems we RCer's are a lot!!!! That's where my nick comes from.
I have a HPI on my closet, but now I am driving a 1/5th FG, soon to be the first Primera 1/5. They don't do a Primera body, but I will "dress" an accord body with my 1/1 primera lights. Proyect is looking good. |
