Now I gotta make the bodykit, I'm gonna try and replicate the vertex ridge kit. (like the Garage T&E D1 car) :iceslolan

Good choice on builds!

mmmm...Vertex kit sounds NICE! Can't wait to see more.

Again, ignore this attachment. Lol, seems like its always your threads.

that is by far my favourite D1 car, even though i'm a stone-cold Nissan fan.

i would use the Weds TC-005's. not exactly what's on the real car, but still some SWEET wheels. :naughty:

Hey Ryan I like your ass!!!!!!!!
Man its great!!!
(The one in the white)

Reckon the TC05s might look a bit small under the big Soarer body.Those Tommy Kaira wheels might look cool though.

I love the Vertex Soarer, that a project i'd love to do! Look forward to the finished piece.

:iagree: One of my Fav D1 cars along with the blits r34 and HKS S15 :naughty:

The real Soarer has Volk Racing GT-C's. I don't think they make them in 1/24 scale.

Please note: I only want to make the vertex kit like the T&E car. I don't want to make a replica of the car as I can't get the wheels or the decals. :evillol: :evillol:

Are you a "newb" at typing too? Thats the longest run-on sentence I have ever seen! Lol. J/k. You can buy already made bodykits from Scale Auto Style which is run by FlyOnTheWall...a.k.a. Chris. Check out his site to see which kits you can buy.

Scale Auto Style (http://www.scaleautostyle.com)

Circuit R, its looking excellent. Can't wait to see the putty work.

thanks ryan but i dont know his website lol do you think you could tell me what it is? :naughty: thanks so much dude

Newb at reading also? Did you not see the underlined link in the middle of my post? Haha. Its okay.

Looks very nice. Keep us posted on the build. I really want to see this when its done.

CircuitR, who makes that kit? Have you considered casting that bodykit you made and selling it, like SAS does?

Looks wicked so far!

Cant wait to see it done! :0

It's a fujimi kit, the cool thing is, it came as an inch up with D style decals too!

Ummm, I'm only a novice modeler and I don't think I'm quite confident in trying resin moulds just yet. At the moment I am just trying to hone my skills.
But thanks for the awsome comment though. I'm very apreciative of all you guys positive comments.
:smile: :smile:

Sorry for being slow, but work keeps getting in the way :banghead:
Anyways, while I wait for some more putty to arrive, I carboned the dash. :wink: :wink:

Looks sweet!

Cant wait to see more progress. :)

Finally got 10 minutes at the office.
I've finished the interior. I had to dremel out the bottom of the factory seat as fujimi mould them into the interior, so a peice of styrene was added to give something for the race seat to mount on. The seat was out of my calsonic R32 and it had moulded harnesses.
I also used left over carpet from a GT3 porsche for the parcel tray.

Now for the body work.
After a whole packet of tamiya epoxy putty, I have this!

There's still heaps of filing to do (with the bastard file of course) but it's comming to life.
As for the side skirts, I'm gonna use modified Altezza skirts.

wow, wish I could do that for my lambo, but i just yanked the 1/25 widebody kit (evo style) from a probe for it, it's different.

it looks a lil bulky but i think its cuz the putty is light colored and the body is dark good work though!!:iceslolan

nice so far!

woho, nice shift knob and custom meter on the dash......this car really in drift style man! :icon16:

Also, I'm not finished yet

Are you a "newb" at typing too? Thats the longest run-on sentence I have ever seen!

HAHA Hell Yea... as for the model put a Supra motor in it!!

Supra motor??? noooooo! people are stealing my ideas about TT 2jz drift cars.

any updates on this ???

Supra motor??? noooooo! people are stealing my ideas about TT 2jz drift cars.

what the hell are you talking about?

hey veryyy nice soarer.. :bigthumb:

yeah put a supra's motor in it!!!! :grinyes:
with single BIG turbo :naughty:

oh don't forget the big wheel, somthing like 19" should be nice :grinyes:

what the hell are you talking about?
I had an idea to put the TT motor from the AMT F&F supra motor in a tohgue AE8-6. And make it a drift machine, came up with that idea a while back, btw i was being sarcastic, i dont care if he puts a supra motor or not.

Here's some more pics, there is still a heap more shaping to do.
Also the wheels are just balancing there.

Where you planning to do some deep dish rims? IMO, the car looks wicked, but the rims need a dish in the back and half of what you do the back needs to be done for the front, that'd be sweet.

I've been a busy boy lately, being the silly season and all (social drinking)
So I took your advice and have added some deep dish rims.
enjoy.

I've also had a go at some dry brushing :iceslolan

*Like Mr. Burns* Excelllent!

The bodykit is taking shape, and the rims are wickied!

love the wheels.

Thanks guys. By the way, the rims are off the old volvo 850 touring car, with of course added styrene.
