Jennifer FranklinThere is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.
8 February, 00:57
Jan PetersThanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.
8 February, 05:43
Jan PetersThe pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉
8 February, 09:55
Jennifer Franklinlol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan PetersMeanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

yngvenettI'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn
27 September, 06:21
Jan PetersThanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean
27 September, 07:42
yngvenettThanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic
27 September, 09:36
Jan Peters@yngvenett to answer your question: I started out with a black base, misted yellow over this, so it does not cover the black, and went back over it with yellow applied by brush. I will give it a wash of a dark brown later on.
30 September, 11:13
yngvenettThank you again for taking time to answer my questions. I will try my best

gorbyI think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Looks a very interesting conversion.
5 July, 06:33
Jakko > I think you win this weeks prize for most heavy duty modelling tool. 😄
Probably, yeah 🙂 It's a metalworking lathe, so a bit overkill for just turning down the seam on those wheels, but I didn't feel like aching fingers from scraping them down with a knife — I get those even when I hold them in a modelling vice, never mind just between my fingers.
> that kind of set up can tool a real bogie!!
Having seen a disassembled Sherman bogie up close, I must say I think this one is a size too small for that 😉
5 July, 08:53
Jakko @Mr D: that's not the welds yet, it's just the filler needed to plug the gaps 🙁 I'm still debating how to add all the weld seams.
@Ben M: An M2 screw, about 2 cm long, through the hole in the wheel, with a nut to tighten it. It needs to be fairly tight else chances are the wheel will stop as soon as the chisel hits it. On Asuka two-piece wheels, you need to do this before assembling the parts, because the hole on the piece to be glued in is smaller than on the part that has the tyre moulded on it.
9 July, 08:59
Ben MThank you, I can envision the setup. I have a small lathe and arthritis in my hands, this technique could help me a lot. Thanks!
9 July, 11:58
Mr DRegarding weld's l have seen super glue used through a fine tip, you need steady hand n move in pattern to create weld.
Sorry l was looking at the resin 🤔🤣.
Good stuff be keeping eye
On progress 👍👍
9 July, 13:30
Jakko @Ben M: What also works is a modeller's vice. Clamp the wheel in that, scrape down the seam with a straight knife over a third or so of the wheel, then unclamp and turn it, and repeat. If I scrape more than about two or three wheels by hand, my fingers ache enough that I have to stop, so the vice helps a lot. But you also get a lot of plastic scrapings all over your modelling area, so this time, I figured I'd put those in someone else's hobby room instead for a change 😉
@Mr D: Hahaha! The ones on the resin were put there by Resicast 🙂 But I'll now have to make ones that look similar, or at least not out of place next to them. I'm thinking a thin string of two-part epoxy, textured with a sharp tool.
9 July, 17:09
Mr DGood video 👍, the finish on the flat plate work looks authentic, l think it's had better rough cast look from the brush stippling before he added the putty coat.
Good idea on the weld , epoxy putty best as regular epoxy levels out again.
11 July, 12:55
Jakko I've begun to add the weld seams now — see photo 23 🙂 Basically, Magic Sculp two-part epoxy putty that I mixed up a very small amount of, then took even smaller amounts from that and rolled it as thin as I could in my hand before pressing it into the join between the parts. Getting it to stick there is tricky, especially once I began texturing it with the tip of a knife — it wants to adhere to skin and steel much better than to plastic, unfortunately 🙁 But with a bit of perseverance it does eventually stick.
11 July, 17:41
Robert PodkońskiI see some heavy duty equipment here and a lot of elbow grease... Good job so far, Jakko! Keep it up!
16 July, 15:17
Jakko Thanks, though this is fairly straightforward. The most difficult part was finding a good way to curve the splash plates, really.
16 July, 17:21
Mr DTaking shape now, the green welding joints are looking a better medium.
Interesting to see an adaptation taking place of the original.
Thanks for your posts, good to see steps
👍👍👍
25 July, 21:06
Jakko Thanks. TBH, I don't really care to look at photos of finished models — I much prefer seeing how they got to be that way, after which the finished pics make sense 🙂 So I post in-progress photos instead of only what it looks like at the end.
26 July, 08:57
Ben MLooks great, what an interesting subject. I enjoy your in progress photos.
My favorite bit is the martini glass holder up there on the bridge.
30 September, 16:06
Mr DHi Jakko👋
Very nice... great job, thanks for the uploads....be interesting to watch progress.
Like it 😁👍👍
30 September, 16:20
Jakko Thanks, guys 🙂
> I enjoy your in progress photos.
Speaking for myself, I much prefer looking at how a model was built, than how it looks when it's finished 🙂
> My favorite bit is the martini glass holder up there on the bridge.
I take it you mean the No. 19 set 'B' aerial …

TreehuggerHm, I thought I had a ZTZ-99 kit, but apparenlty I have the HobbyBoss' ZTZ-96. I wonder what the difference is between the 99 and the 96 are.
23 February, 10:54
Xu HoHi Treehugger. As far as I know, ZTZ-99 is a heavy MBT with more capibility and 96 is a lighter, smaller and cheaper one. Imagine the position of F-15 & F-16 in U.S Airforce.
23 February, 18:03
mininovaSuper clean! Love the digital camo, did you "simply" used masking+airbrushing? And is that holographic film for the optics?
10 March, 10:14
Xu HoThank you, miniova. Yes, it's masking+airbrushing. I use the pre-cut masking from Galaxy Model. It makes the process lots easier. No, it's not a holographic thing.

JohnGreat start and cockpit. I am a big fan of the Tamiya kits from this era. A very fun "canvas" to play with for detailing and painting. They still hold up compared to modern tooling if done right.
20 July, 12:45
AlbertoThanks John and Mark. The cockpit is excellent just OOB, considering the year this tool was released. And the kit is still pretty inexpensive these days.
21 July, 05:51
Mark SherwoodMine did, when I applied the VMS Gloss on the Shiden, prior to decalling. Did lose a bit of subtly, but not much. Looking good so far Alberto.
1 October, 04:28
AlbertoThanks Mark. It's tricky to guess when's the right time to stop the blending without loosing the pre-shading once the model is finished 😄

Bill NewcomerNigel, Now that is something I have not thought of. I do have a few including a 1967 Chevy Fleetside I got from Bob.

Bill NewcomerTom, Thank you. I guess it shows that if you put in enough effort and attention to detail, it just might turn out ok.

Bill NewcomerDust yeah, well, It will be inside my display case. I just need to get better at keeping the door closed when sanding.

Bill NewcomerI decided to upgrade my diorama with some LED lighting to improve my pictures of future builds.
I made a quickie mock up to see how they would work. While bright enough, I learned that I need to have some of them near the front edge to make the foreground light the viewer's side of any vehicles inside.
23 May 2021, 06:23
Bill NewcomerThanks guys. The test only used 16 of 20 of the fixtures. I ordered some 6-32 mounting hardware last night and cut my lid this morning. I think I will need a bit of angle aluminum to stiffen the front edge and provide positive locating of the sides. Meanwhile, back to finishing up my Mustangs.
23 May 2021, 21:18
Bill NewcomerMy hardware came so I got right to installing the LEDs onto the "ceiling". I soldered everything to keep from having issues. The lights are somewhat a "cool white" as opposed to a warm white. Live viewing it looks pretty good. For photos I think I still need some foreground lights. My super shiny floor may force me to add some sort of light diffuser like parchment paper.
30 May 2021, 06:13
JarrettAbsolutely Stunning Bill! I was thinking about buying one of those old racing trailers - I see you probably used the parts but as a trailer what do you think?
10 March 2022, 20:31
Bill NewcomerI have two of the racing trailers. One is the Ernie Irvan one and one is the Bill Elliot one. Yes I did steal some of the interior parts for my diorama. My plan (way down the road) is to build one with all the goodies and one closed up. I want to set them up as two nostalgic front engine dragster haulers.
