or how about a baby porsche? its a converted fiat 500! looks like he couldnt afford a porsche and decided to convert his little fiat

they could be a few ideas for modifying 1/24 cars into something else

Re: bored with his car, 1-1 conversions

i think the fiat's awesome, sure it looks slightly retarded but it's very unique and well done. i sure as hell wouldn't want to own it but i've gotta give him props for making it look funny but sort of clean.

the chinese car looks pretty good and it's probably relatively cheap. they've got a bunch of companies over there don't they? haven't seen them anywhere other than china though.

as for the bimline, it's a pretty good job but there are a few things that give it away, for example the roofline at the back definitely looks bmw(the kind of thing that you really can't change). still looks alot like a skyline and would probably fool me if i didn't know it was a bmw.

Re: bored with his car, 1-1 conversions

most of them usually change bumpers, add skirts or widebody kits, and lights, or even other replicas that need a specific donor car ie mazda mx5 into a ferrari, for someone to totally change the front and rear ends of their own into a replica, now thats different, and i liked the one he did to his bmw converting into the skyline

Re: bored with his car, 1-1 conversions

The first one would fool me for a skyline.

the 2nd one....I think is a Ssangyong...they've always copied Japanese and Mercedes styling....it's definitely not a Skoda...because the badge isn't anywhere close to what the Skoda badge is...

The body work on that Skyline is pretty good. Would have had me fooled.

Re: bored with his car, 1-1 conversions

That Skyline looks horribly disproportionate. The roof-line is completely off, the window lines are horrible. The lines are too tall, and not wide enough. The length of the nose isn't right. Horrific conversion...

...but then I go on to look at the Porsche/Fiat, it looks like a cartoon.

Re: bored with his car, 1-1 conversions

I think the only decent one is the fiat/porsche. Because it isn't seriously trying to be something else. It's a bit of fun.
