I just ain't found the time, it's going to be my first time using putty so gotta find a good few hrs to do it properly

 

yeah it does take time to get it right, will look good when its done tho.

 

Since Petey is eager to get me into modding 1:18 cars, I just have a question. Which car to get (biante, minichamps, autoart)? I want a Sierra, but I have no idea which is the better, and what prices to expect. I guess a 3dr cossie is the only one I can find, and preferably a streetcar version so I can make either a Xr4i (if Pete won't sell me his) or just a 5-door ghia And where can one find wheels big enough for a 1:18 Ford F-350 ?

 

Autoart Sierra Cosworth is the better detailed model,i have 5 minichamp Sierra Cosworths (3 road & 2 RS500 touring cars).I think to make a 5 door you would have to do some serious work.As for wheels try ebay theres always sets for sale.

 

Thanks , and I guess there's probably a price difference too But in case someone has a almost complete Cossie (don't need engine or wheels or wing ) just let me know

(about making a 5 door, it can't be much harder than making a 36 ford coupe out of a 2cv, so I'm not too afraid of that )

 

ther is 2 on mate but they are the tommi makinen rally cars,these go for alot of dosh tho.

 

Hi Everyone,

Its been a month I found your forum and enjoy following it. since I didnt have any new projects so couldn't post before.
I am collecting 1/18 scale Rally cars and time to time modify the ones are not existing into Group N Rally cars.

tonight, I would like to share my latest Group N Rally car project. Its Mitsubishi Evo 9 in Yellow color. and will be the fifth model of my Group N collection.

during this week, I changed the original wheels and the tires with WRC Impreza ones. I think the Yellow car and the gold wheels match well.
I am also planning to change the color of side skirts, rear and front bumpers lower parts as well as the roof. please help me to choose the right color considering that this car will become a rally car after I finish the interior and other details. and hopefully one day may have branding on it as well as other models since I am not so skillful with decals.

for the roof, side skirts and bumpers I am thinking of choosing one of White, Gold or Red colors. suggestions & comments welcome.

hope you guys enjoy and like my Group N projects.



soon will join older brothers

Welcome to the forum,great models,i love the silver evo and the white impreza

 

welcome to forum, sure you will get some good advice from the lads...

 

I got pulled over today on my bike down the A130 for those who know it, the copper said he couldn't catch me to get his radaron me (well I was running late for work) he said he had to go well into 3 figures and only caught me when I slowed down opppppppppsssssd
I got a good telling off but that was it, he said call it yr lucky day

 

oh lucky,,, dodgy that road for old filth. take it you ended up even later lol..

 

Yeah I've gotta stay on an extra 10 mins now
but thanks my lucky stars I've still got a licence

 

Lucky lad there mate. You got you wheels yet mate?

 

yeah bigger than i thought lol
back to the drawing board

 

as said autoart is the best you can get really, im sure biante is just autoart rebranded from what i gather too, but minichamps arent bad especially if youre butchering it for a project as for my xr4i ive got 3 people interested including you so goes to highest bidder really lol
try jada models for the wheels, they usually have oversized wheels should be spot on for a truck

hi omer, welcome to the forum, see you managed to fit the wheels on the evo - looks good

 

aint seen escortoldskool 4 a while, i rekon hes 2 busy modding all his 1-18 cars.

No did'nt get round to that but got an autoart moonstone cosworth sierra and a autoart Nissan R34.
Got an alloy rear box for the cosworth from Model Motorvations, looks superb really high quality,just after a set of R32 wheels to put on the cosworth preferably autoart,looked everywhere but can't find any !

 

get some pics up of them,

i have some autoart r32 wheels mate???????????

 

whats the plan with the cossie?
ive got a r32 race car,love the detail on them,i like autoart models.very good
not many people break them but they do pop up some times.

 

does anyone have an Escort Cosworth road alloy going spare?

 

How the hell did you get the Milliput so close to perfect???

 

sand paper maybe lol,wet & dry gets it smoooth
i can get mine like that without sanding it

 

looking for my camera now ! send you a PM about the wheels.. thanks

 

aint recieved it do it agen

 

we going to see some pictures,,, blimey ..

 

The Cosworth is pretty much perfect out of the box ...But I just want to bring it up to date , a sort of old school sleeper look.but without spoiling the look of the car , so subtle changes nothing to drastic..

 

Dave can you re-make things in clear resin?

 

cheers mate i was just away you ask if anyone knew how to do that cheers mate i was going to try and make rs1700t but think i might just do my own thing with it but ill try ill need a pic to work if i do the rs 1700t

 

give me a chance ! us old farts get out of breath real quick

 

i roll it before i put it on then put it half way and then push it to the shape and smooth it with a bit of water then sand mate

 

roy how do you get it like that without sanding it mate cos i really hate all this sandin ive been doing
