You should DEFINETLY make resin Racing seats, I have not seen ANYbody with aftermarket seats!
Just buy the necessary materials, and familiarize yourself with them.
You don't even know how to do it. It's so easy that anyone can do it. I started resin casting when I was only 14. Start copying an existing parts.

You will need:

* resin (long curing time is recommended for the first try)
* RTV silicone rubber
* mold release wax (brush on, or spray)
* clay
* lego blocks, or cardboard to surround the mold.

I have a brief description on my page:

but, Moschini has a better page:

I know, i'm just teasing!

How about the Veilside Supra, that's one i certainly don't think i'll be doing.

Freakray, i know that 550 gt exist in resin kit, but have you try to get one ? that is really hard, as the mr kraft kit was a limited one, the only other kit i know is for slot car..
I stop here, sorry guy, this is not the subject of the thread.

blitz supra plain and simple that would be awsome

but then again just buy the castrol supra and paint one color with no stickers. then add rims, exhaust, and all the other goodies. theres your wide body supra. Im going to do this as my next project.

Later

ST27 had those kits already. They have Ultraflo, Zent, Castrol early and late, Au Cerumo and Denso.

I have done that. But going for sale will be good. I think someone in this AF saw my Veilside Evo DTM already.

I'd like to see some more parts done for the "old school" rides. C'mon, where's the "rivet head" fender flares for 240Z's and RX-3's? Where're the Bluebird taillight conversion kits for 510's? How about some stuff for 1st gen RX-7's and Celica-Supras?

And if you do a MGB GT with Sebring fender flares and Rallye airdam w/fog lamps body conversion for the Aoshima MGB MkI kit I will be indebted to you for the rest of your life. :angel:

Fly-on-the-wall, I'll be SO glad if you make that body kit. I'll definatly buy it! I've been tryin to come up with ideas for my lancer V WRC and this tihng is perfect (it's gonna be a streetcar)

Back to the topic... how about a 1/24 civic engine bay+engine? How about a RB26deTT engine (Skyline) and skyline enigne bay for curbside kits. The possibilities are ENDLESS <<< how about some brakes?

I, along with many others, would LOVE a 1/24 B18c engine and civic engine bay for the fujimi civics. The revell civic engine+bay does'nt look right in a 1/24 civic.
