Here's the body assembled and awaiting a second coat of Flat Black, and then to replace the windows and paint the motor.

It's so everly nice

Looks sick! I will definetly watch this thread!

Who makes a diecast Silvia?

I believe it's muscle machines as part of their Muscle tuner series.

Here's more progress on the motor.

The motor is twin turbo if you cant see it, I'll take more pictures later.

Alright, it's pretty much finished here's how it stands

Bolley makes nice 1/24 & 1/12 S15, The have working light & stuff more detail than MM

i kinda like this car from MM, but i think all MM models are a little off (too big) for 1/18 dont y'all think ? they should relabeled 1/15 instead.

Also, these wheels here would look perfect on ur car. im thinking of gettin the 1/18 jada rx7 or skyline and do it all in blk like urs and put these wheels on.

I think MotorMax is actually pretty good for scale. The only companies that really have trouble getting the right size are Ertl and Jada.

So RX, its gonna stay just primer? I think Kustmace will love you. ;)

Oh im refering to Muscle Machines as MM, but not motormax. Spking of motomax, it seems like Motormax (possiblely same as Yat Ming) have exclusive rights to produce the montero and the LS430 or something but i dont see any other producing it. I love to have these 2 models but motomax and yatming are just plain crappy. Their limo is a joke also

I'm not to sure if it's going to stay just primer, I might throw sponsor decals on it, or just skunk stripe it. But the flat black is there to stay.

Here's a snap of the motor.
The green circles are the turbos, and the yellow ones are the air filters.

Its done? wheres the windows? overall looks sloopy.

Not done yet, still plan on doing some sort of decal paint scheme, and remove the crap from the windows, and make a bumper sticker that says "I (heart) Drifting". :D

Well, I decided since I have natural light to use, I'm going to,
so here's some better snaps of the S15. Enjoi

who gives a sh*t, its anyway functioning. Its just a scale car.


Nice car dude, but the paint is terrible, go with automotive laquer next time, preferably gloss :P

where did you find this car, at a store or order online. I searched ebay and only came up with three muscle machines, and i checked four stores today and came up empty handed.

thanks for the reply

sorry i like to go for realism. maybe on my next model, i should put airplane wings because i want it to fly, and maybe one of those spinny things you get on those gay hats....and then maybe some 24" rims, while its lifted 12 inches off the ground.

The flat black isnt going to be the final color, it's just a primer, but I'm undecided on color so it's staying that way.
