DSM Model Kits and the Dealer Model [Merged 9-7]

Kyle, I wanted to use the rear that you used, but the Blitz front is the only one that looked decent IMO, so I was stuck with the full Blitz.

if you look on mine you can see where i filled in the holes on the decklid for the wing and then filed down the sideskirts to ditch the blitz look on them as well. tried to keep mine just slightly modded.

I think it looks more like a 1gc than a 2g.
Heres a tric to add a little sick ass style.
If the seats come in two pieces you can upolster them with real fabric.
How come I can't upload a pic? I push upload photo and nothing happens, if I right click it I can't select any thing.
Take some very stretchy fabric and glue it to the seat, wrap it back to where the seam will be and around the edge. Do the same on the back side. This is a Viper I started, I used a red lepord skin on the front and black velvet on the back as well as the back of the car.
I am trying to get a pic up.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I finally fingered it out
My popup blocker was messin it up.

Any ways here are my lepard print upolsterd seats.

i'd considered filling in the front vent on my bumper and cutting out the pieces around it to show the ic piping, but it was looking to be alot of work and since i hadn't built one for like 10 years prior to this i didn't want to hack up what i thought to be the best looking bumper right away.

...You guys have TOO much time on your hands if you can mod your real cars and then spend so much time on these models....good work tho the furthest I went with modding models was clipping the springs and lowering them...

 

[boost05]

It has nothing closely resembling a stock bumper.

only these 3..

edit: ok, maybe that top one vaguely resembles it, but it's still the wrong shape.

jeebus, nice work there.

[boost05]

[mavisky]

i'm assuming the s-afc and stuff were custom made.

 

[rjdavis21]

Unless i'm mistaken, that's the ERTL Fast and the Furious die-cast.

[rjdavis21]

tell me how you made the S_AFC? and would it be better to go with the F&F model or the revell one?

 

[boost05]

the fmic came with a skyline model kit I have r-33 from japan. I am also making an A-piller with dual guage pod etc...

Which one you buy depends on what you want to do with it. Also depends on your modeling skills. The metal body of the F&F one will be harder to modify if you wanted to compared to the plastic of the Revell kit. The Revell will also have more aftermarket options as far as rims, engine parts, etc. (yes, you can buy aftermarket parts for 1/24 model cars for those that don't know) The Revell kit will also most likely be cheaper.

There is a plastic F&F model too, but it's made by AMT/ERTL, i think... Revell, while not the best model makers, are still better than AMT/ERTL as far as scale, options, and accuracy.

 

[boost05]

yea, I have a harder time modding the diecast but the plasic cracks easily somtimes.

Since we're on the subject of model cars, I thought i'd share this link of tips. The link mostly deals with Ferraris, but can be applied to all types of car models.
