Hello to you all!

First off let me introduce myself. My name is Russ aka Spoonman Dos.
I bumped into this site while surfing the net, and I am impressed with everything. I'm a car guy, but the model cars are what brings me here. They all look great. Keep up the good work. I'll post some of my creations when I figure out how to resize the picture. I look forward to my stay, and will share what I know, and hope to learn from you.

Spoonman Dos.

The kit is a Tamiya 240/180SX
Testors True Blue Pearl, Scale Auto Carbon Fiber decal on the GT wing, and Aero mirrors. The wing, mirrors, and wheels come from a Tamiya Calsonic R33 Skyline. Intercooler, exhaust was custom made, and a modified suspension.

Scale Auto Carbon Fiber decal on the GT wing, Scale Auto = Scale Auto Style? :confused: no... who's Scale Auto?

Looks great regardless! :cool:

What did you use for the lenses on the pop-ups? They look pretty slick! :D

F.A.Q (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t63623.html)

I'd love to see some better pics of the model....it looks awesome !!!

Scale Auto = Scale Auto Style?

Think he means Scale Motorsport Jay.

Welcome Russ:wave:

That's an awesome 180sx, looks meaner than mine!

Where to start? Yes It's a 180SX. Scale Motorsports is what I meant (thanks Fly). You guys are quick with the responses, I'm not use to that.
As far as the contest, I might have to re-take my pics and submit.

The headlights were with an exacto. I used spare plastic for the headlight housing, and extra lights backed up with foil paper.

Damn, i love that car, can i put it on ym web site?

I gotta take better Pics first. I also have a Slammed Toyota Aristo w/the same type of mesh wheels, a New Civic Type R with my Spoon Touch, WCR Impreza, Turbo Revell ITR, JDM ITR, and the 180SX.

It's actually a quote from Bruce Lee. I have the collection.
So, tonioseven, you're in Cinn City? I'm in Dayton.
As far as the NSX goes, I have the Tamiya one (unbuilt) and the Revell one. The Revell one is a Drag Car that I'm thinking about re-doing before I finish it. I'll post pics later.

oh yeah, sweet cars. Now I really can't wait to see the NSX finished. And good job using tape for the CTR's windshield banner. :sun:

great models nice NSX looks real sweet ru done wiht the CTR or still working on it cause u need to fix the front bumper on that CTR and paint the bottom grill other wise its sweet.

I'm finished working with the CTR. I know I should paint the lower grill, but it's fine to me. The wing on the 180SX came off a R33 Calsonic Skyline. I made the exhaust from two BIC mechanical pencil ends (you know the part that holds the eracer). The winshield banner on the CTR is masking tape. Hey, it was a two week project.
The NSX was made by combining the Revell kit with the Summit Racing Firebird kit. I'll finish when time and funds permit.

Man... WELCOME TO AF yo.
those are some sweet lookin models there. I especially like the 240. and that NSX drag car is sweet too.

I bought a funny car kit and wanted to do the same type of thing to my revell corvette indy model... and i was wondering if you could send me a PM or email, and let me know how you did that to your NSX, and maybe send more pics if possible.

thanks

They look very nice, could do with the panel line being added then they would be awesome.

Welcome to AF :wave:

The 180SX is definetely nice with the sleepy headlight.

Welcome ~~ :)

Wow.. Your Honda NSX looks like an american car huh ? Not bad !! I love it ! :)
