What are your projects for 2004?

Just wondering what everyone's got on tap, floating in their minds, itching to be built, kind of projects for the coming year. Give us all a sneak peak into the cool and interesting builds that we can look forward to seeing the Progress threads.

I've got the Mr. Bean Mini on my list (hence my other thread question). Also planning a full detail Sauber/Benz C9 with the complete array of SMS accessories. Also planning some V12/K-car hybrid thing project, which is basically taking a small car kit (like Honda S-MX, or Toyota Bb) and jamming the Enzo V12 in it. All just floating around my head, nothing concrete yet.

Tell us what you're planning.

Hopefully things will go better next year, and I`ll be able to finish some stuff up I wanted to do this year. Including:

*Revell `99 Ram Air Trans Am with scratchbuilt supercharger and special wheels
*Revell `67 Corvette 427 coupe
*Monogram 1/8 Iroc Z
*Lindberg Firehawk with scratchbuilt supercharger
*Tamiya F50
*Tamiya Supra
*Revell Yenko Camaro when it comes out

I am always in the market for a Ferrari 288 GTO or Monogram`s 1/8 `79 Trans Am. And, I would like to start on the project I`ve been planning for AF`s model of the year contest, which tentatively involves a pickup truck...a wild one. We`ll see though... ;)

hmmm .... i got a

chop top merc on sum moonies


.....

Hmmm funny i was thinking about this last night :smile:

here's a quick short list
*Hasegawa EVO IV
*Hasegawa Idemitsu Mugen Civic
*Tamiya R34 GTR w/ SAS N style kit
*Tamiya AE92 Corolla FX Rebuild
*Hasegawa EVO II
*Hasegawa Lancia Delta Integrale
*Fujimi Soarer
*Fujimi FTO
*Tamiya Ferrari F310B


And the biggest one would be my super detailed Fujimi SW20 MR2 GT, which i think will probably take the longest to build.

Well,

- finish the GT-Four
- Tamiya 360 Modena hardtop
- Skyline GT-R (R34)
- Take a 911/GT3 and modify it into a '03/'04 996 GT2 :D

Next project is going to be a HR31 GTS-R "Tohge" kit, which I'm going for a "very pimped out" feel with.
I've got Bersaglio 19" rims, and a cannon style muffler coming from HLJ, and I may also order a GT-wing. Its going to be a nice, deep, shiny black of some description, and very low, with a mixture of race/luxury style inside. I'm considering buying and mangling one of the dub city diecasts and ripping out the PS2 controllers, TV etc :D.

I build one at a time- so thats the list for now!

These are my favorite threads. Gets you excited about the new year coming and to see how well we come close to the predictions.
I'm hoping to finish my 98 Toytoa Corolla WRC Tein Sport. It is proving to test my skills and it is my first rally car. Other cars for 2004:
Tamiya Toyota Supra, just looking for rims for it right now.
AMT Corvette and 55 Nomad bash, lotsa cutting going on here.
And in no particular order:
Mercedes 190E.
One of the many Lamborghini's I have
The Testors Porsche Carrera.
That should do it for '04
Chris

Fujimi Impreza 20S (In Progress)
Hasegawa Landmark AE111 Corolla

And...well..hopefully more :)

It's been awhile since I posted in this forum. I've been working on my real car so much that I haven't had the time for building scale models. Maybe some of the moderators remember me. :)

Anyway, to get back into it I am working on the Tamiya Calsonic Primera right now and will probably build another Galant VR4 model like the one I built pictured below. I want to use one of the rally kits I have of it but build it as a street car with the full cage and whatnot and paint it the same color as my car.

Signal Auto Drifter Twin X Sil80 & Onevia

I had already done a thread about my future projects for 2004, in fact it was a poll. So here is the link: My future projects for 2004 (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=129706)

Gotta clear the '03 leftovers off the bench first...
So my New Beetle "Evergreen" is gotta be done 'so far gone and still so far to go'. Then there's that 300Z vert. that been hanging around for months. I did get the PE set for my Tamiya Ferrari F50 so that has moved up a few spots on the list.

The projects that are in my head may well remain there at least till I figure out how to scratch build about 75 % of one and the second is well, still in the research stages.

:p

Gonna get a long awaited project on the go. Gonna do a street version of the Mercedes CLK DTM 2000. Could imagine myself doing a whole bunch of these actually in the future as this car and the Nissan 350z are probably my favourite two tamya cars.

Later, Mike

:thumbsup:

Exactly, plenty of half finished (or barely begun) projects to sort out!

After (or before) that, I want to do an F1 this year, either the new Williams FW24 or a Lotus 107C Mugen conversion. Then there is a McLaren M8B and the new Fujimi Porsche 917K. Not to mention about 50 different rally projects I have in my head...

Well first I've got to finish what I started last year (Im a slow modeler :))

- Tamiya Celica GT-Four (needs a new hood and a repaint)
- modified Hasegawa Celica 1600GT
- Aoshima Celica 2000GT LB

and new projects
- Tamiya Celica 2000GTR with modified Tamiya GT-Four or SS-II engine
- Hasegawa Celica GT-Four RC (If I can find one) or convert Tamiya Castrol Celica rally car to street version again with modifed tamiya engine
- Toyota TS020 GT-One
- Another Hasegawa Celica 1600GT with Acu-Stion detail kit which just arrived

Dont know if that list is being a ambitious, we'll see what my wallet says. Did I say I like Celica's :icon16:

i'm gonna build
-Opel Astra V8 coupé (street version)
-Chervolet Camaro SS 35th anniversary

And finish my VW Vanagon (here is the thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=167986 )
:naughty:

first of all i will finish my diorama wrc with evo vi wrc.
next step is to start peugeot 2002 wrc and mitsubishi evo 6 wrc.
then i ll buy the peugeot 2003 wrc, tha mechanical set, peugeot 205 rallye ana maybe celica gt-4 road version.
all of this is tamiya. :biggrin:

I have nothing planned at this stage as i'll be talking a complete break for a few months

Next project is going to be a HR31 GTS-R "Tohge" kit, which I'm going for a "very pimped out" feel with.
I've got Bersaglio 19" rims, and a cannon style muffler coming from HLJ, and I may also order a GT-wing.

check out the how to section. i have a how-to on scale ps2.

First of all, I have to finish that Focus WRC. I haven't done anything on it because college takes up almost all of my time. When I finish my exams, I'll (re)start on the Focus and begin the Revell's New Mini..All black(?) with 18" OZ Futuras and a big brake conversion.
But one thing I've been thinking about is do a carbon version of the Enzo. For that I need plenty of time and money..:( and money is the big problem...And when I do think about it, carbon fiber decals come as a problem too. My LHSs don't carry any big sheets of CF, just little ones (4" x 4") and @ €8.00 each!!
I know that there are a lot of that stuff on the web, but I don't have a credit card nor a paypal account...Cash is my only option :(

Same for me at this point; I've actually thought about giving up the hobby.

I got a couple right now

- smoothed out Revell civic hatch(you'll see in a couple of days)
- spoon Revell ITR (not another yellow one)
- lowrider impala with suicide doors
- hopping ford expedition with sliding rag top

and probably a few more once I get a job

NO!!!! Say it ain't so! :eek:

Cool projects guys. Some ambitious ones. Can't wait to see them.

*Revell `99 Ram Air Trans Am with scratchbuilt supercharger and special wheels

Revell made a 99 TA WS6? I know they made a 98 TA WS6, but R-M discontinued it after GM made them for making the kit have too small of tires

As for my projects...
Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330 Polara with a Slant 6 (any ideas for color??)
AMT 1989 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Dooley
Fujimi BMW M5
Fujimi Chevy Astro AWD Van

And maybe start working on the 99 Silverado 4x4 conversion lift kits.

I've just started building again after a few years break.

My current plan is to complete what I have on my desk, a box stock Imai Mini Cooper (1/20) and a 1937 Cord with Pegasus Daggars.

I'll probably receive som kits from Japan while working on the first 2. I'm waiting for 300zx, RX-7 (FC), '87 Supra and a JTCC Primera. The plan so far is to build all of them close to box stock.

I've also got some unfinished projects in my closet, '53 Ford pick-up on Explorer chassis, '55 Ford delivery, '55 Nomad, '32 Ford rod etc.

damn straight i got a ton of half finished barley started ones but currently im workin on the 64 cali custom pickup full detail but i have the f&f supra,65 el camino, mustang gt350, oval window volkswagon,camaro ss,itr rebuild,64 impala,67 convert to 66 chevelle, coming soon international scout,
