1/24 Modellers

[genkin]

Hi fellow 86erz,
I know, like myself, there has to be some other 1/24 scale modellers out there.
And like myself, you like to customize... right!?

I have just imported a small supply of Aoshima and Fujimi wheels for myself. I was supprised at the high quality and low price of these sets (considering a set of 4 wheels in Adelaide goes for about $25+)

And it is not everyday you get the opportunity to purchase many of the older rarer sets.

I thought I might bring in another order and also supply some to like minded enthousiasts.

I will be selling these for $15 per set, plus shipping/packaging.

Here are some pics of the mad styles available. Let me know if you are interested! also if there is anything else you might be interested in.

Ahhh, man, i wish these were readily available back when i did kits, i just dont have the patience anymore.....Very cool rims though

[genkin]

SSR MkII and III from what I believe are no longer in production, and are out of stock all over the place. No doubt the same fate will happen to these styles in the near future. So get them while you can!

And each time they do a re-run of a plastic model, they loose the original quality.

[E V A N]

Thats sweet
i would be interested

[Axentrik]

Id be interested in a set of the XR4s and A3As.
What are the TR.VX? !st column, third down?
Any other interesting things for sale models you import?

Didnt know you were a model builder Evan?!?!

Genkin, what have you built so far?
Right now Im screwing with a DR30.

[Axentrik]

You got any fav links that specialise in jap garage model kits and extras? You know just the rare non-regular run of the mill stuff. Im trying to track down the Initial D or any upgrade set (series 4 to 5) for an FC3S, as all the kits are pretty much molded off the Fujimi make, which is a poor effort of using a series 4 with soem tacky mods to sell it off as a series 5.

[Gilly]

wish you could get life sized ones!!!!!!!

[chapl]

I want a set of the XR4s and A3As. NOW. lol

na whenever!

[genkin]

Chapl bro, I can hook you up with some XR4s from my secret stash if you like! gimme a ride to steves tonight http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

[genkin]

Some of these will need to be back ordered, and could take a couple months to arrive. But if you are like me, that's no problem http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif
We always have a few models going at a time right http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

What rare sets man? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif Those are all in pretty regular production in Japan.

Shame you didn't get the aoshima stretchwalls, I've got those in deep dished Sakuras, XR4s, SSR zero (I think), SSR MKI, and Hayashi...They are the perfect old school model look... they have low profile "stretched" tyres think 185s on 9" rims!) (think, and they're slightly bigger diameter than the Aoshima ones pictured which come with the uber fat/tall 70's style tyres...) They're hellaciously expensive though, think 1,310JPY per set plus shipping, when a complete Aoshima "Puchiage Racing" bosozoku style kit (extra suspension bits for mega camber, included stretchwall wheels/tyres, bodykits, outside oil coolers etc) is 1,910JPY.
http://hobbyworld.aoshima-bk.co.jp (only online shop with the boso style kits and the stretchies).
http://www.hlj.com

At the moment I think I have:
Deep dish stretchwalls:
-Sakura
-XR4 (2 sets!)
-SSR MKI
-SSR Zero
-Hayashi Racing

Others:
-Fujimi 345 RS-watanabe x2 sets
-Fujimi Techno TV-R
-Fujimi Impul mesh
-Fujimi XR4s
-Aoshima 19" TE37s
-Aoshima Kranze LXZ 19"
-Aoshima Bersario Spoke II 19"

I'll get some pics of some projects when its not dark...

edit: early stages pics from some projects...

(The sprintang is a bit ugly right there, I think I was in the midst of carving off the sideskirts and strips. Its stripped to white plastic now, I'm flaring the front guards, will be pearl white with satin black bumpers, Hayashis or Longchamps with stretchies)

[slide86]

floody31 thats hot
where to u find these streched wheels
can u get hoshino's?

[poh_86]

eeshh just looking at this makes me wanna start modelling again
soo hot

[ae71neo]

I've just started a 1/24 Kei Office Trueno. Would love some camber but. How are you flaring the gaurds on a plastic model? Heat or something?

[poh_86]

does anybody know where i can purchases these types
hobby shops just seem to be a rort +$60 for fujima or tamiya

any online shops etc?

[20vtouge86]

floody31: that 86 is hot!!!

I'm really interested in doing a custom Hachi (of course!!)
Where would i find a good base model?

This is my R33 i put together awhile ago

[floody31]

I buy nearly everything from Japanese online shops. The AE86 model by fujimi is easiest to get, even easy to get in Australia.
The stretched tyres/wheels are by aoshima, I got them from http://hobbyworld.aoshima-bk.co.jp , which is the ONLY source for them as they are REALLY limited production and thats Aoshima's own online store.
Most of my car kits I get from http://www.hlj.com , who are a bit easier to deal with and stock most of the more mainstream stuff.

Mostly buying from Japan is slightly cheaper than here, with a far greater choice. I still get all supplies from the local hobby shop.

Oh, Aoshima are making a 1/24 AE86 trueno now with full engine detail! I might get one of those when I finish some of my current projects.


Smiley, McCanns in Hobart (elizabeth street), or even toyworld (argyle street), stock a fair few models, check there if you don't want to buy online. You need to buy online, or from the guy who started this thread -who is doing awesome deals for $15 a set!- for the wheels though.

Nah, building them up out of thin styrene sheet and putty is normally the way.

This time I lucked out and found some cheap cartoon model car kits (like $5 kits) with these ridiculous big wheelarches which can be cut off and trimmed to fit 1/24 scale cars quite well, so I'm doing that.

Camber isn't that difficult, you could extend the lower part of the front suspension that glues onto the chassis (so basically the same as longer control arms on the real thing), or fill and redrill the top mount...

[ae71neo]

Only just started the trueno..

Thanks for the hints floody!

[floody31]

No idea where to order locally, try local hobby shops, you could have them order a kit in for you at worst. The most common AE86 kits are by Fujimi, they make a Levin hatch, Levin 2 door, Trueno Hatch, Trueno 2 door, and rarer (available in Japan only normally) race and rally versions.

Online from Japan is normally easiest, all you need is a credit card, HLJ are reliable and quick.

For shipping, EMS shipping is most expensive but ~4-7 day delivery time, SAL shipping is less expensive but a LOT slower at a 1-4 weeks.

Hey floody, you mentioned Aoshima are making a full engine detail ae86. Are they the only company doing so?
What is the best detailed kit you know of otherwise?
Hmmm just I have bought fujimi and aoshima before and their kit quality in accuracy or parts and way things go together are ratshit compared to Tamiya. Do you find this too?
Hobbylink Japan I am fine using, its a great joint, but this aoshima site is pure japanese....... how do you order from it? As most jap sites I have found they are setup to deliver only to japan.

[Axentrik]

My bad, I found the english link on aoshima haha, its in the right corner.

Yeah, Aoshima are making the engine detail kit of an early Trueno, I don't know if its full, standalone style engine detail or their usual half-engine moulded into a one piece engine/enginebay mould...
Fujimi are making an AE86 kit with a motor too, however the motor just comes on a stand and I don't think the bonnet opens or there is any engine bay detail.

Fujimi and Aoshima are the only two AE86 kit manufacturers as far as I know. Aoshima may be better quailty, haven't seen one yet.

As for not being as good as Tamiya, to a point thats true, comparing the Fujimi AE86 to a current generation Tamiya makes it look bad, however if you compare apples with apples, i.e a 20 year old Tamiya with the equally ancient Fujimi kit, they aren't so bad.

Still a bit of work before the paint goes on, which will be pearl white/satin black bumpers. Lots of body mods done, I widened the rear spoiler 10mm over what comes in the kit, moulded on the front lip, flared the front wheelarches 3mm each side, carved off the sideskirts and side bump strips.


Can't decide between wheels yet, have XR4s on in the pic, but have similar deep dish/stretched tyre sets in Yayoi Sakura, SSR mkI, SSR zero (I think), Hayashi, and have some Starsharks ordered...

[-Brent-]

Just noticed this thread.... I recently replicated Crabs Levin (CRAB-86), you should know who he is. Heres a pic. Yeah, im not that great a painting yet lol, plus i got a bit frustrated with it all, the masking was the main problem, but i managed to find the right rims. The front rims are from the Tamiya Calsonic R33. I had to cut them to width, then paint them. The actual model is the Initial D Fujimi Levin.

Awesome, looks a treat! I hope my one finishes up as nicely.

Breno,
The bodykit stuff is made up with styrene plastic sheet, modelling putty, sanding, and patience!

[Axentrik]

My father is a lifelong modeller he use to use somethin called plastibond, what do you guys use to do your body mods?

[Axentrik]

Oh answered before my post made it up.
Whats modleling putty like? What texture is it liek raw and how do you apply it? Whats drying time.
Thanks

[dori_86]

i've got "body filler" from humbrol, still yet to use it, is their a cheaper alternative?

[floody31]

I use Mr White putty by Gunze, its just a soft putty/filler in a tube, which hardens and can be carved/sanded to shape.

Theres also two part putties, putty which is pre formed into sheets etc.

[Axentrik]

Ah anyone with a hachi kit, can you please scan the profile pics in the manual (usually for applying paint scheme and decals) at decent resolution/size, a trueno and levin would be nice.
And post it on

Yeah, hobbyshops for the Gunze stuff, its Japanese. It will probably have a logo saying "Mr Hobby" on it. Their paint says "Mr Color" etc...

Tamiya make putty in strips, I still don't understand the purpose of it.

[Axentrik]

Thnx floody, just needed to know where i was looking.

neo... yep perfect, thnx champ. hope helps the other guy.... but thats what i wanted for my collection

[Klutch]

I've made a few models like that myself, but have never modded/changed rims on it.

How would you change the rims? I imagine you wouldnt be able to do it properly as some dont fit on curtain axles?

[floody31]

Its normally a matter of making whatever adaptor is needed and/or modifying the rim itself. Styrene rod is your friend!

[Klutch]

How easy would it be to make yourself a body kit, or modify it?
Such as making a lip... Whider gaurds and such..

[-Brent-]

Not very easy, you need to get everything equal on both sides which can be a pain sometimes. You would need some Styrene, and some putty to fill up the gaps, a very steady hand, and lots of patience. These things take days and weeks, and if you want to be really creative, even months. The models themselves can cost from $30-$80 or more depending which one etc.

-Brent

[Axentrik]

Well I find it goes hand in hand with peoples personalitys.
eg. those who buy an expensive pc and attack it with aan angle grinder and do severe overclocking lol.


Anyways. My current major project is a Mine's R32.
I ditched the Fujimi kit and used a Tamiya due to nice engine detail (fujimi has none), interior was overall better. Just use decals and wheels.
That brings me to prob. the Tamiya wheels has a think prong on the wheel and holes in the hub/discbrake. The wheels I wnat to use has the sleeve on the wheels that you fit plastic/rubber spacers in that are ultimately held on by a plasticplug inserted behind the hub into the the wheel.
Any suggestion? All I can think of is cutting out the plastic sleeve and gluing it onto the hubsurface.
If I take that option....
2 Q for u experiences guys;
Which glue is strong but does cause chemical fogging like superglue, specific brand and type would be appreciated, dont want to take chances. Ive had to pull shit apart before that has already been glued and strip it to repaint it.
What took should I used to cut out the sleeve? Cause oif the small diameter of the wheel dish you have to ge in behind to cut it out? Cant do it with anything like a straight tool such as modelling blade/scalpel.

Cheers!

[-Brent-]

Hmm... I have put Tamiya rims on a Fujimi kit but not Fujimi on Tamiya... I don't really have any suggestions for that then. My current project is a Fujimi R33, but i went and bought some putty today, and worked on it all today since for ages, and nothings working out, what should i use to sand the excess putty off. Not sand paper, as its almost impossible to sand within the places i have puttied.

Just one off topic kind of thing. When i went to my LHS today, there was a chick at the counter serving some old man, and they have to wear uniform and stuff, and they say brand like Tamiya, HPI etc. And Tamiya was on there, and the old guys like "Oh, thanks Tamiya, that's a nice name" or something along those lines.

What a funny kient Adam.

Um yea I have to have delt with that problem as I have had to strip and repaint the enginebay and chasis plate 3 times.

Get sand paper and you fold it really tighly into a triable
or you get somethin like a thin long blastic road with a tip on it (as wide as the place it needs to get into) and you squash sandpaper over the tip, if they is excess stuff and would involve shitloads of sanding, i just used a scalpel/model blade to cut of fthe excess then start sanding.

*Looking at the picture*
What exactly are you aiming to do man? If it sobvious, sorry I am good at missing the obvious.

I'd be using the Fujimi wheels and making a styrene rod up to go inside the hub/suspension arm, rather than converting the fujimi wheels from male to female.

Otherwise, go to automotiveforums.com and find the automotive art -> car modelling section and their FAQs/tutorials. Great resource.

Umm Tofu, I was "Trying" to re-attach the bumper that i broke off purposly because i originally built this years ago. Now i am more into this kind of stuff i deciced, maybe i could make everything neater, but the putty idea obviously didnt wan't to work for me http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif Oh well.

[Klutch]

Last time i heard, glue works best....

[-Brent-]

The bumper was glued on. But when i tore it off the first time after building it shitly, some parts of the bar didnt stay. So I tried glueing first, and sanding because the bumper was perfect, and yeah, i think my main problem was glue PLUS putty, which didnt let the putty or glue dry because they have the same checmical crap in it. But... You learn from your mistakes. Also, from a really experienced scratchbuilder that uses Styrene too, reccommended to not use white putty, automotive putty worked better, and that brand that i bought (it was cheap) was really bad. It would be easier to understand if you were to see the original picture before i mucked around it.

[genkin]

I find Tamiya's 'Basic Type' Putty works best.
Humbrol, Revell, etc. seem to be too 'powdery' and soak up moisture, this leads to cracking.
Tamiya's putty hardens to a plastic type texture.
*thumbs up*

[-Brent-]

Thanks mate. At the hobby shop i was tossing up between the Tamiya Putty or the other brand i bought. I knew i should have gone with the Tamiya. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

Just bought a Fujimi AE86Levin Coupe!

Going to start work on it tonight, any tip's on the best way to paint it panda style? (It already came in white, so i just need to do the bumper's and the stripe)

[Axentrik]

Even though it is molded in white. Do it properly. Paint both the white and black. Paint the white first and mask it then do the black. Not much diff then painting a real car just on a smaller and more tedious scale. There are tapes you can buy to do the fine 'pinlining' and edges, but to cover the bulk of the body needed, just glossy pages from a mag or even few coats on newspaper and masking tape work fine.. obviously there maybe better techniques.... But definately paint the white and the black, dont use the molded body. Take you time, put as much detail in it as you can and have fun. You'll feel more accomplished in the end.

[Klutch]

Ah ok, just finished doing the dashboard and the rear axle area.

[Klutch]

I put the brush in a PLASTIC container with some turps in it, came back and the turps had eaten through the containers, gone onto the table and made small weird bumps that is hard to get rid of.

Guess which im choosing?

Rear seats are replaced by a cage.
And a few other small things, only downside to this is you dont build the motor http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/sad.gif

[floody31]

So after that spray, you dont actually have the wheels and you were just organising a group buy or something?

[genkin]

oi!
I didn't really get enough interest did I!?
read the first post again

After the first 5 posts or so, you seemed to make it your duty to change this thread to a 'What I do in my spare time' thread...


What rare sets man? tongue.gif Those are all in pretty regular production in Japan.

Shame you didn't get the aoshima stretchwalls, I've got those in deep dished Sakuras, XR4s, SSR zero (I think), SSR MKI, and Hayashi...They are the perfect old school model look... they have low profile "stretched" tyres think 185s on 9" rims!) (think, and they're slightly bigger diameter than the Aoshima ones pictured which come with the uber fat/tall 70's style tyres...) They're hellaciously expensive though, think 1,310JPY per set plus shipping, when a complete Aoshima "Puchiage Racing" bosozoku style kit (extra suspension bits for mega camber, included stretchwall wheels/tyres, bodykits, outside oil coolers etc) is 1,910JPY.
