*progress* Vertex Ridge S15 Silvia

[Risko]

Hello Together!

This is my current project, Aoshima´s Vertex Ridge S15. I haven´t big plans with this one, only modify the bonnet, scratchbuilt a small wing on the boot and change the wheels from Volk TE37 to Kränze LXZ. It will be low and painted white pearl with a touch purple (I hope)



Started to open the vents on the fenders with these tools.

Hehe, thanks for asking me about the BlitzER

I do a break on that build, because I spotted that Aoshima release the 2006 version, which I have ordered. Now I wait till it arrives bc I´m think I made the engine like in the 2006 version. I need to check the differences between the kits and I´ll build 2006 & 2004 version at the same time, one with engine- one with blue neon light

But now back to my quickie, the bonnet vent is done. I cutted a big "H" in the hood, bendet one end up end the other down. 2 small stripes of thin styrene and Tamiya Basic putty- done!

I'll be following this closely as I've got the same kit near the top of my to-do pile. Thanks for the explanation to do the bonnet...wasn't sure how but will def be using your method on my own S15. Nice rims too, just not my taste as I prefer the TE37's. Keep us updated

[anopanjo]

nice work here its coming along nicely, would you recommend this s15(Aoshima) over the tamiya ones, I need a s15 to add to my collection as i have none yet ....

Also bout the TE-37's you aint thinkin of seling them are you??leme no!

[5ynergyx]

I love the rims!

Hello again

This is my first S15, so I can´t really say which make is better, I like this kit so far and I can recommend it. And it has the wide body. It´s nearly similar to the red HKS D1 one. What I don´t like, is that you could have the option to do the clear chrome rear lights... There is the chrome part, but not the clear cover part.
The only "problems" I have so far, is that the bonnet is bendet and the wheel cases are too small to have a smooth working steering on front tyres.

The TE37 I will use for a Skyline or Supra, so, sorry I never sell rims

This I did so far...

I changed the piping from the inter cooler, I think thicker looks better!


I also added some styrene to the inner side of the wheel arches to reach a more realistic look and that you only can see the front tyre through the fender vent at the tyre and not from the door.



This should be drift car and for such car is steering important for higher drift- angle. So I cutted and rebuild the parts of inner fenders at front because I want to keep the car low and the bigger rims.


That´s how it looks from outside



Next update bill be with paint I hope

[energon]

This thing's looking GREAT! Keep it comming. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
