Ken's Car Stuff Fabrication.

killalldude · December 20, 2011

I think a color besides red, silver or black would be cool. There are too many red ZR-1 Vette's. I'd say go for blue!

Ken · December 21, 2011

I don't know, the Blue ZR1 to me is just too original if you kind of get what I'm saying.

The Compensator · December 21, 2011

Nope, I don't get it :o

Flo · December 21, 2011

red with white spots. lol.

no serious, yellow!

TDUFREAK500 · December 21, 2011

Red, they look sick in red

The Compensator · December 21, 2011

Blue!

Ken · December 22, 2011

:hmmm: I guess Blue it is. My Cobra will have to be Red then. :p

Ken · December 28, 2011

Yep got another model, my friend gave this one to me. He noticed that I like old Z cars and he had this model but never finished it.

Nice Z! How many WIP models do you have? I guess a lot :p

Oh my god YES. You must teach me the way of model fabrication sensei.

Nice cars Ken!

Anyone that does build or is interested in building model cars, check out this site:

Hobby Search Model Car Store

I've bought a few things from them in the past from my model building days (and I can say by reading through this thread that I want to start making them again, if I can find the time...) and from other places around the interwebz, including ebay. Some of the scale stuff you can find out there is amazing!

:omg:

EDIT:

Hey Matt, Work Emotion CR Kai (Model Car) Aoshima S Parts|No.133 :sohappy:

Oh my god YES. You must teach me the way of model fabrication sensei.

If you buy a model kit like this and want to customize it, (Also have the time and patience) I'd gladly help you if you want me to.

Nice cars Ken!

Thanks man. :)

- I also noticed the rear fender flares are I guess what you can say "too fat", so I cut them down a little bit and now they look just about even compared to the front ones.

You did a great job Ken, it looks really nice. :)

Prophecy · February 3, 2012

Awesome work, looks just like the 2003 cobra :)

TDUFREAK500 · February 3, 2012

Nice work Ken, it looks great

The Compensator · February 3, 2012

Nice work. It turned out to be hundred times better than the old one.

killalldude · February 3, 2012

That looks really nice man. I like that you really take the details into account (LEDs, custom bodywork, etc.). Beautiful shade of red you used as well. :)
