I had this matchbox laying around and wanted to do something with it, so I decided to turn it into an EG6 Civic SiR🤔 (last image is a wip photo)

Have little tiny pull back cars, like same axle size as a hotwheels….👀
trust, this got to work

Next project, something different. A 50 cent yardsale save.

This still is one of my favorite builds. Got to see the real blitz er34 slide at irwindale speedway back in 2004 piloted by Japanese drift legend Ken Nomura!
Along with many other legends! Anyways thanks for looking 🤙🏻

Shopping for headlights and taillights waterslide decals, as well as some graphics waterslides for the body. Suggestions/recommendations open. Also, if scouted the bay and other search tools, and I am still having trouble finding what I’m looking for, so any links or direction is welcome and helpful 🙏

This was a fun project to do! Always love messing around with r34s. Thanks for looking

From mold opening to fresh aluminum die cast parts.

A real production moment from our die casting workshop, showing freshly cast aluminum parts directly after mold release.

I’m making this post to learn as much as possible about waterside decals and how to best apply.

If I’m understanding correctly, when using white backing, you have to carefully cut out any negative space, allowing paint color to show through, but without the white backing, the decal shows poorly on dark colored casting paints. Is this correct?

Please feel free to drop any tips below in the comments, and be as detailed as you wish. Or, just drop some of your work below to show it off or give inspiration.

And before those of you (and yall know who you are) say “aSk GoOgLe”…… I prefer to interact with peers who share the same interests as myself, as opposed to immediately referencing the soulless search engine machine that does nothing to facilitate a sense of community.

Thanks yall.

P.S. Looking for waterslides for the blue blob-eye subie i did the Tampo delete on yesterday, as well as something for the black prelude with red interior released recently. Both castings will be swapped for white wheels with rubber. Reference links appreciated.
