and ill order.

Nice score Hanzel!

Yeah, I've got to cast this one as I don't believe I could get the other three the same if I built them on my own. This one's not perfectly centered on the hub but it's close enough for a static model. I'll be starting the molds tonight when I get off of work, hopefully in a few days I'll have copies to post up.

I admire your scratchbuilding skills, great work!

[CrewDawg15]

Thanks Joe! I find scratchbuilding therapeutic, and nerve racking at the same time. Sometimes I get an idea in my head, but can never get it quite the way I want it to be. I throw in the towel and sleep on it. Then the next day, everything comes together like clockwork...persistence eventually pays off

looks good jimmy. looking forward to more. love the scratch built wheels.

[CrewDawg15]

Thanks Luis.

You won't be seeing the wheels any time soon. I'm having problems casting them. I gave up after I destroyed two different molds trying to get at least one set done

Progress is going to be a little slow since I'm working on a new build for another forum's community build project.

Thanks for looking...Jimmy

Here's a little bit of an update on this one. I wanted a break from the Fairlady while the paint was drying, so I decided to knock out the body detailing. I usually wait until last, but then it seems like that's when a lot of my troubles come from. JDM TE27 Levin's have rubber window trim, so no chrome here. I also highlighted the panel lines, painted and installed the turn signals. My attemps at making the wheels failed miserably, and I wasn't really feeling the wheels I had originally decided on, so I went with something different...gold Campagnolo's from one of my Skyline Japan kits. I feel that they suit the car better.

Here's the mock up so far




Thanks for looking.
