RE-Xtreme Model Projects

I am always building something. So here is a look at the latest craziness.

Recently, I finally completed my Version II replica 2 years after I sold the real car. It took so long that Aoshima released a bunch of wheels and among them were Advan RS.



With these and a replacement set of RE-Amemiya light covers (that I lost), the car was finally finished.

In order to aquire some parts for other things. I needed to purchase another Greddy 9, recently re-released in new box, but the same inside. The previous Advan's I had set aside found a new home. They are not so scale.

I also needed this Fujimi Project D to complete the replica so minus some key items, it will become another time attacker. Maybe Rays G2 will find a home here.

It looks awesome with SSR Professor VF1 but I may have to hack these or buy another set because I discovered something nice.

The Lips are easily usable to make some GT-C super dished, or some RAYS VR. G2 a scrumptions dished wheel.

The time attack body I am slowly working on needs something this dished to work. At the moment the fenders are dangerously thin.

I went through my wheel collection and pulled out the 20" Gram Lights R57 GT, they have a bit of a dish already. These are both fronts by the way. In the top picture I added a deep dish as seen below also. I found an answer. R57 GT + SSR-Lip I think I'll have to buy another set for lips, because I like to keep options open.

Probably another 2 years, these will be finished too. HAHA.

Maybe then I can start my 1/12th FD.

  2. It wouldn't matter,

    I've been building them since I was a kid.
    My father had a hobby store.

    I have about 40 Fd3s 1/24 scale cars I guess.

  3. It can be extremely difficult to get recognized on your own. That is not because you are not good enough; it is because it is hard for a new model to be noticed.

  4. I love automated comment bots...

    Really appropriate targeting of content.

    This is why I don't unleash the comment box altogether.
    My GT-Roadster blog gets all sorts of Chinese comment attacks.

  5. :O Models look sick man. You on any forums?

    Also, never knew about SSR wheels. I always used to just use pegasus sleeves to add dish but they never looked real as they dont have the step up lip =/
