:wink: :wink: :wink:

Sweet. :D Especially the Onevia, I used to hate those but I really like 'em now. Not really sure about the Strawberryface though, looks odd, like the front doesnt really fit.

nice s13 and sil80=)

Sweet conversions.

im looking forward to seeing these completed. Are these all fujimi kits? and also are you going to be doing bodykits for them all?

You should go with uras style d1 kits they will look great, but thats just an idea!

Thanks for your comments!

Yes, all Fujimi kits.
And yes, Uras & Origin :grinyes:

Looking forward to MOOOOORE!!! verry nice so far!

I really like they way you are going with this! I can't wait to see how it all turns out. if you are like me, you'll end up with about 20 different S chassis cars in your stash so you can buld all of the different variants!

Not really sure about the Strawberryface though, looks odd, like the front doesnt really fit.

strawberry face is S14 with an S15 front. and I agree, it just doesn't look right. the shape is all wrong.

nice s13 and sil80=)

they are ALL S13. what you have there are: USDM only 240SX coupe, sileighty, and S15 silvia front end on 180SX. they are all based on the S13 platform. S14 is only silvia or 240SX. S15 is only silvia. sorry, that's a pet peve of mine

Strawberry face is just the front end period, wether its making a S13.5 or S14.5.

Nice bunch you got there.

Wow, that is impressive! I always love your builds! Where is the D1 Skyline R34 w/ engine?!?! :)

Thanks, the BlitzER is still alive, I need to reproduce the decals for the chrome look. Once I have the new decals, I´ll finish them soon. This year, really sure:grinyes:

OO! cant wait to see it finished! :eek: i love ur drift cars!

They look really cool. I cant wait to see the finished product! The onevia looks the best in my opinion. I like that car. Just a suggestion, there is a yellow onevia in the D1GP and it looks really cool and maybe you should do it like the one in D1GP. Anyway nice builds!:bigthumb:

Nice! Im lovin the sil80! Was thinkin about scratch biulding one. Either I swapped the front of a 180 and s13, or Id just get the Initial D version. But ive heard the quality of those kits are bad. Nice build though, looking forward for more.

I see your up to your usual mischief again! I always look forward to your wip's and all the excellent detailing you do and will be following along on this.

:)
i likes whats i see, i likes its a lot

Thank you guys for your comments! :cwm27:

Yep. My plan, exactly :grinyes:

One more :grinyes:

damn u. stole my idea~ hahah jks
which kits did u use for the onevia?
thx

So that would be a twovia? NICE! I gotta get me a bunch of these kits. I've always wanted to try these sileightys, onvias, etc.

Thanks!

All conversions are Fujimi kits, and d**n I need 12 kits for this plan, so I have 3 in order now and still need 2 or 3 more as next :lol:

These are not enough so far...
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2940/dsc04764kh8.jpg

How many are there going to be all up? this is going to be alot of work im telling you now, good luck with it...

that's just awesome man! I love the Nissan S chassis cars. if I had more cashflow, I'd like to build right along with you, but alas, I'm a poor joker! haha

once I get some better pics of them, I'll post up my 2 S13s (USDM coupe and sileighty) and yes they are both fujimi as well.

Man . . . I was wonering when you would build up some drift models. I was thinking "He must be a fan of Nomura Ken, he must like the drift." Im not surprised when I read all these drift models you were planning on building. Man I wish i could build alot of drift cars. Sadly I only got 3 drift cars in my pile, S13, FD3S, and AE86. Keep it up man. Can wait to see more.

I'm a poor joker! haha

:rofl: Me, too! I´m planning and collecting now over a year to get started with this projects:evillol:

Started this one yesterday. I know the Blitz ER has to be completed :lol:
I thought to learn about Fujimi´s S- Nissans before I do the conversion cars, I build the first 3 as they are.

I started the front bumber and I will do my first real bodykit on this one. The fenders and hood will have some vents.
The wheels will be Work Emotion CR Kai, Ings wing, and some features for drift cars.

Not really the idea for the paint... purple/blue with white rims maybe.
Any ideas?

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4251/dsc04805ga1.jpg

the only suggestion that I can give is that you tame down that body line. it is WAY to deep/stepped. I'm thinking of taking some material off the top and filling in the lower just slightly to get it a bit more realistic.

Like this? :D

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/6740/dsc04816rw4.jpg

that looks really good.

I was actually talking about the line that goes through the door handle and gas cap. if you measure it out, it comes to about 1 scale inch deep! it is only just a slight step on the 1:1 car, maybe like 1/8 inch.

Aaah, yes :naughty:
I checked my ref. pics. You are right, thanks! That line is really too big :shakehead

Front bumper so far :smokin:

Sideskirts ready for primer...
The rear bumper will have full skirt like the front one.
I started to modify the suspension, a huge lowering has to be done.
The first I changed is the camber at the front by replacing the above mount for the shock.
I moved it 2mm to the inside and 2mm to back. Pics will come soon, I need to check if it worked first :grinyes:

These all look good Risko, has a fan of the S chassis myself I always enjoy looking at builds based off of them. You know the fujimi s13's really aren't that bad of a kit when you get right down to it. I've got a few to build myself, 3 silvias, 2 180sx's(one tamiya kit), a sileighty, and an s15 silvia. Keep up the good work on these, i'll be checking in on your progress.

Thanks
Gray

Keep up the good work, Risko. I'm really enjoying your progress.

The body kit looks great! Keep up the good work. Are you planning on improving the headlight clusters?

I am definitely watching this one! Good start so far!

Winston

I have to agree, the body kit is turning out fantastic! what color are you thinking for this ZENKI? black would be beautiful, but I don't recomend it as it really makes all the detail disappear. I saw a really nice white with a purple pearl in the Kustom Kolors (purple passion I think it's called) that would look great on that body kit. I think it calls for a dark base coat, but if it's sprayed over white, I bet it would be perfect.

anyway, I'm riveted to this thread, keep it up!!!

Thanks for your comments!:grinyes:
I agree, black would be cool, but I definatly need to hyde some mistakes on that bodykit. I´m thinking about AlcladII Sapphire (blue to purple) for this one.
For AlcladII I would use the black primer and have a preview in black.

But what I definatly will paint black, is the S13 with S14 f/e convertible:evillol:
Btw, I dropped the front suspension, 5mm, it´s really deep now! Pics later today.

:D

That´s my plan for the front susp.
At first I cutted the brakes away to add bigger Brembos to the front. To the rear will come some from R32.
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2023/dsc04825cq2.jpg

Then I shortened the shock and changed the angle bc the new tire size.

Deep, isn´t it?
http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9521/dsc04831bl8.jpg

Wow thats nice! I stil dont see how you got that camber?

Wow thats nice! I stil dont see how you got that camber?
I moved the above mount-hole for the shock. From pink to green point.

Very nice work!:sunglasse

NOICE!!! the camber looks great. and I'm liking the body kit more and more each time I see it

Sunday update :D

New eyes, added a part from R32.

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/3713/dsc04837ks8.jpg

I also have modified the hood by using the method which didn´t work on my Vertex S15 bc of the paint.

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m24/real_risko/2006-07%20Model%20Cars/DSC04840.jpg

The rear suspension is lowered now, too. Very easy to do. Instead of the metal axle this kit uses a styrene part which can be shortened. I used the same method like on the front susp. and added sticks instead of the rod like on the front one.

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m24/real_risko/2006-07%20Model%20Cars/DSC04839.jpg

It´s not very easy to get the perfect stance, the undercarriage is benden and the front end now, too, bc of my mod on the hood.

Seats from R32 modified to something like Bride (backseat friendly this time)

As next the rear bumper :smokin:

Simply badass, i dont know how else to put it :grinyes:
Awesome work on this one so far, that hood came out great! These will def turn out sick, now the only thing you will have to do in the end is make a diorama n have em all drifting in tandem

I forsee this thread being 35 pages :naughty: :rofl:

are they all standard curb-side models? Ill be happy to take one of those 180sx's off your hands. lol

Thanks guys! :naughty: Yep, 35 pages will be possible when I keep this thread for all S-Nissans. Should I?

Last missing part from bodykit completed, the rear bumper. I´m happy with my first bodykit... could be better and will be next time.

As next the mirrors and that beast is ready for primer. I think then I will have enough of sanding to do... this project is 75% of sanding.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
You remember my problems with my Verstex S15? Well, what did I learn from that?? NOTHING! I managed to ruin the paintjob and fired the half of the expensive Alclad stuff through my airbrush to discover that the putty, primer and base coat had a chemical strugge. Why?
Because it´s sunny but not summer and cold. Every year the same!
So strip the paint and sand and sand and sand. Luckyly I damaged not that much...

Now there is a coat on of rallye black from automotive can, to see where to sand. I think this stuff is tough enough not to be eaten by the putty... Tamiya basic grey s*** stuff :evil:

http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/3218/dsc04862ys9.jpg
Maybe I keep these wheels, this a nice thing waiting for me.

WOW!!! i love your body kits!! so well made(and designed) :) go the silvias :)

You have really nailed this Vertex replica! sorry to hear about the what happened with the paint, i think this would like great as black with cf bonnet? just an idea!

holy freakin' crap!!!

Wow dude! I wish I knew how you flare out your rear bumper skirts. Mine come out flat =/

Thanks very much your commets!:lol:

Wow dude! I wish I knew how you flare out your rear bumper skirts. Mine come out flat =/
I made them seperatly from 2 Plastruckt 2,5 x 4mm styrene sticks and glued them then under the bumper like all body skirts.

Thanks very much your commets!:lol:
