  1. By the power vested in Tamiyasan we hereby pronounce you man and box wrench?
  2. Long time coming mini plotter investment, and a can of neon purple paint colour arrived which was missing.
  3. Ah…… 1:1 actual cars. Yes, it’s the absolute core seed of everything that is thought about and consumed on the daily. So much so that it has lead and fueled my entire ( modest ) career ( automotive design ). Design Portfolio However, ironically - finances, time, space, family and location void the justification of having 1:1 projects currently. So the joy is had digitally and in 1:10 scale 😃. Here was my latest one 2017-2022 a true 1:1 Tamiya project, everything was changed, modified, painted or removed to make it look and feel the way it did. OEM+ Club sport approach.. 1984 AE86 with a late generation (2001) Japanese only market 20V 4AGE swap
  4. If you want a modern day TT02 step up with nice plastics, modern engineering, and “open” design with access to everything splurge for a base TA08. I have multiple TA02T’s with the iconic box art bodies setup as pre runners which work great. So fun and dramatic with basic electrics and a lipo. If your ultimately after building a variant of a truck. I do not love the shiny plastic, it’s equivalent to the TT02, the chassis is not sloppy like a TT though. TA03/4/5 are nice options but aren’t exactly modern. I’ve owned all of them at one point or another. The TA06 is super annoying design with it’s battery from underneath and overall feels a bit complicated. Just my opinion and experience! So, TA02T and TA08 would be my pick.
  5. @Kol__ It was a clearance item at a company that sells enormous commercial plotters and vinyl in Sweden. It was marked down 50% so about $100 depending on your location. A must buy! Hope it works the way I think it may!
  6. A mini plotter. This enables the next tier of possibilities and opportunities for my builds. I started with custom liveries and decals 2023/24 I will now move onto making paint masks, the decals themselves, and whatever else I can come up with. At least that’s the plan.
  7. I made some Photoshop variations for some directions of a M-05 build I´ve been planning. When you have a moment please vote! https://take.supersurvey.com/poll5377034xF01842E4-161 M-05, 210mm, ABC Hobby Honda City Turbo II They´re all based loosely on the period F1 Williams livery Nr 3 is a fictitiousType R in Gloss Black Nr 9 is a fictitious what if - "Mugen City Pro" Personally I am into 8, 9, 3
  8. Enjoy every bit of the process and completely lose yourself in each project deep dive 😃
  9. I am referencing the concept car and road going version of the car as well. The lexan body is for the most part based on a more stock version of what is / will be the new mustang below. The primary difference is the hood and fenders from what I can gather from the race one.
  10. I increased everything about 5%. It feels more substantial and correct. I will sketch out the side vents and mock-up a wing. I will either go with decal only or cutout and paint for the side vents.

  12. Despite being 2025 I drew and cut out a first draft of some decals by hand that I am planning to make. I am debating getting a plotter but am enjoying doing everything manually. Back to basics, paper, pencil and a scalpel.
  13. The chassis is a high end but dated 2000s touring car. I personally love these. I made a habit a few years ago of picking up complete kits with electrics whenever they pop up.
  14. I adjusted some lines and worked on the large letters. I’m making notes along the way of changes for the next round. So far it’s pretty close. Both need increasing by 15% or so.
  15. The GT3 Mustang was mounted onto a complete electrified 417X I had in storage. I made a first draft of the livery with tape and had an initial round of the Ford Performance decals. Printers never function so I had to do it the analog way I drew and cut out the letters with a hobby knife. I estimated the placement, shape and proportions. The body is not identical to the GT3 race car and it is alas a lexan body, so I’m making adjustments best suited to the result given what I have.
