The End Is Near: O.S. 510

Yes I mean it this time. As I told Raees, this is the week for the end of this long journey. I have made a new harness for the drivers side and a lap belt for the passenger. I used some thin bandage tape for the belt material and the buckles are P.E. parts from Detail Master. It's suppose to be a 5 point cam type set, but the belt material supplied seemed to be pretty old. It looks like masking tape, but on backing paper. When I tried to take the tape off it ripped or was stuck really good to the backing paper, utterly useless. Anyway, it didn't look anywhere near to what a harness or even a lap belt would look like in a real car. I used a black sharpie to "dye" the tape. It actually took me a couple of hours to make these, but it's well worth it in the end. There are a few details that I have left and then I can finally call this one done.

Thanks for stopping by.

Builder Spotlight: RAK PT.1

RAK, now where do I begin to describe this mans creativity??? Awesome is one word, but not enough to describe it, unique is another.....hmmm, how about exquisite. every detail that is he puts into his builds seems to be premeditated. grease, dirt, grime, oil and fuel stains and weathering is meticulously added to the surfaces of the chassis, valve covers and body panels. his building stlye is a mix of grundge and shakotan with a touch of nostalgia. here, I'll let you take a look at what he has to offer.

Nostalgic syle Tamiya Honda S800

Shakotan style CRX??

Nissan 260Z clean build with L26 under the hood.

Honda race car just drips with grim...lols

This Tamiy NSX with JGTC body has a boro wangan racer look. I love it.

NORI YARO shout out!

Now these 2 Hakosukas are just sick.

This one has a Nissan V8 from the Tamiya Nissan R89C kit. looks mean with the wide fender arches and deep offset Watanabe RS. deffinitly something you don't want to see in your rearview mirror.

The RED Hako has a special treat under this metallic gray hood.

Yes, that is an RB26 from an R32 Skyline.

Not only does it have the RB26, it also has the ATTESA-ETS system. how cool is that??

Skooter anyone?? pretty sweet. this one is part of a build that he currently has going.
