Well, I'm back....AGAIN....but this time my car took me away from my models. Spent alot of money on it, had my fun getting it sideways, now I'm calmed down....after what.. 6 months? geez..... But yeah, I've been working on my models again.

I have three currently under the blade, and I'd like some input on which you'd like to see first.

First.
I call it a "Pocket Skyline", a friend called it a "Mini Skyline", hell, you can call it whatever you want, but it's exactly what I'm about to describe.

Ok ok, here's the mod list.
Started with a BNR34 Skyline, got bored, chopped it up, then stumbled across a small Mercedes Benz convertable coupe, not sure which, but I then thought....hmmm... convertable Skyline.... ah, why not.

So what it is, is basically a Skyline that's about....2.5 inches shorter, no roof, and all the power, still has the RB26, Taillights, Headlights, and even to stay true to the Skyline hertiage, a massive FMIC, nothing too special outside of that. But hey, it's not complete, but if it's what you want to see, I'll finish it up for the veiwers.

Second.
It's just ANOTHER RX7, I know I love em, can't help it. Nothing all too special here either, just some minor body mods, and a big 'ol turbo, we've all seen an RX7, so I'll end this one short.

Third.
It's actually not even a car, it's a Rover, a Range Rover Land Rover and all I really did was lift it and stick some massive meat mud chuckers underneath it, not anything fancy, but hey, someone might wanna see it, so take your vote.

And now the bad news, my digital camera broke when I went out....driving.....so the only camera I have at my disposal is my phone...so don't expect quality...sorry.

Thanks! Glad to be back.

Nice to see you back. I recently got me a truck so I might be spending some time with my truck...


A convertible Skyline? You gotta show that first man... :smokin:

Ask and you shall receive.
Sorry for the quality, like I said, it's my phone camera.

It's still in need of some work with the rear end, trunk lid, a-pillars, doors, and overall cleanup. But here's the Pocket Skyline.

The trunk lid is actually going to be spliced with the Skyline trunk to keep the R34 wing, but the actual cockpit is from the Benz, just outfitted with a RHD dash and racing seats.

I notice your Range Rover there in the background, where did you find the mud tires for it? It looks pretty sweet from a distance.

Haha, I just noticed that it managed to sneak into those photos, that's rich.
Actually, believe it or not, I got them off of a 1/24 Jada "High Rollers" Escalade, and they're just big enough to be about 33" on a 1/18.

Well kinda I wouldn't mind selling full cars, don't think I'd be able to package small things, so if I sell anything I'd be sure to link it here.

Hey, looks great. What you talking about turbo's? You planning on selling resin turbos on ebay? If you are I would definately be interested in a bunch.

Let me know,
Joe
