They are a bit out there hey rofl Thats why I love em :D

I think theyre originally from a Japanese or Indonesian company so they'd go on little kei cars. I'll be chucking them on a little Wagon R from Suzuki methinks :lol:

There's even some Koala rims out there... they're a bit too out there for me I rekon :lol:

Man I'm loving the printer now that I've got the settings mostly dialed in! No more scummy goopery parts :lol:

:lol: I do love the Jevries wheels, they've got the look for sure!

Drew up an EFI carb thingy and printed a test, just to stay non-rusty with the engine parts and stuff.

Started ANOTHER model :lol: It's the Aoshima convertible bosozuko style one. I wish the kit had come with the older style Aoshima tyre types, not the new bigger stretchwalls. But I won't be using em anyway :lol:

They seem enormous on the first mockup I did before the bodywork started.

Image

After that I got the trim off the sides and smoothed the areas all out, did the usual flair-application procedure, stripped the chrome off thee bumpers with oven cleaner, glues em on and shot a nice fat coat of primer. I forgot to get all the nikko-pen off beforehand so itr's showing through. So I gotta sant that off, identrify any areas that need more bodywork/additions then I can wonder abvout paint colours.

Got sick of waiting on those polishing pad thingies in the mail so I'm in full-swing with the Kombi. The ute versdion of that kit arrived in the mail yesterday so I'll not have to go VW Bus-less for long lol

Image

Was a full night of model-related shenanigans. I feel like I used a fair whack of the tools (used the little rubber-tipped panel line cleaner thing from Sandy for the first time!), methods and technology to get stuff done :lol: Feels good.
