I know what you mean.
I have to be doing something with an automotive flair, whether it be playing forza 3, using photoshop to mock up a tuned car or researching my Tiguan and purchases for it.
All the best with the drift pig.

Haha I had an R31 and KPGC10 Skyline (Fujimi too) that I wanted to "do up", but ended up selling them both before I could rip off the plastic packaging. Hopefully you'll be more motivated than I am!

nice! scuff up the cooler or paint it grey so it looks like you got it from a wreckers. Also, different coloured front guards would set it off

haha ive just finished the rear guards, one has been primered after a massive hit with a concrete barrier and now roughly flared! and the other side is crunched with some of the bumper hanging off! hahaha one of the front guards will be a different color, also ill try get the roll chage in a metalflake pearl

Looking good mate. I just started working on a Tamiya Porsche GT1 kit and I'm having fun with it, first one I've tackled in quite a while. Keep the updates coming.
Cheers,
Snowy. :)

This is awesome, wabit. Nice damage so far..
I remember doing this to a tamiya kit when I was a kid - it was the moster beetle which I turned into the death bug by merging some parts form a german tank
