It's not a project of any models , i think that flyonthewall just wants to show off aftermarket-model-products of his new company...

It could be considered a bit commercial , but he didn't come here to advertise , he just shows them off and wants to know what we think about it (i think so:confused: ). Btw i think they're very good , and will look nice after molding etc. Don't worry , AF mods will take care of any forms of advertising... I'm one of them but this car modelling forum here is not my turf...:D ... But i think it's not commercial at all...

This is not intended to be an advertisement, i just wanted to show off my work and get some feedback. Scaleautostyle is not even off the ground yet so there is nothing to advertise yet.

Where'd you get those rims for the 180SX? I'd like to sample your 180SX body kit, but lately my shop hasn't had a Fujimi one in stock. Plenty of Tamiya ones, though :(

They are the S2000 rims, the one on the zx is a scratchbuilt one made as a 'tester'.

Looking really good! Did you touch up on the main body piece as well, or only addon pieces?

Yes..I see you modified the original body in this pic (at least the front lights part to make it go further out) so my question is, when you get these parts in production, do we modify the original body ourselves, or just use the your kit with original body..

Ive edited the previous pic to highlight what is to be removed in order to fit the transkit. Im making it as user friendly as poss to fit them, unlike many transkits, its just a case of following and cutting along panel lines to remove the unwanted parts then the replacements will slot in place.
By the way im still looking for someone else to test the 180sx kit out on the fujimi version. I have one person sorted already and need one more, any takers??? The kit would be free!!!

Sorry to bring up an old thread but, you say those rims on the ZX were scratch built?!?!?!? Cause they look awesome! One question, are you going to mold those rims in resin?
If not, do you know any company that produce something similar to those rims?

That wheel was the result of some experimentation one evening and isnt very good. I think my skills have progressed even further since that was done so i may give it another bash.
I had always intended to have a collection of rims but obviously it hasn't happened. At the time when the SAS idea was in its early stages, Fujimi sold their 18" tyres seperately so my original idea was to have resin rims to fit these. It seems they don't do this anymore so that idea is screwed:( That now means the tyres will have to be made also, which is beyond my scratchbuilding skills and i don't intend to rip off the Fuj or Aos items. However, not so long ago I discovered a mold/casting/tooling/modelmaking company who could do this sort of stuff, produce masters and make many copies in a rubber like material.
I've not progressed any further on this but i will endeavour to get something sorted this year, afterall, one of my new year resolutions is to give myself a kick up the arse!:D
