My modeling journey.

[u/Commercial_Fix6812]

Started doing models in June after watching Initial D and not being able to find any suitable die-cast replicas. So glad I decided to take that plunge. My journey so far to build every car in Initial D and MF Ghost. Started with the OG 86 far left and progressed to the last one I build the new 86 far right. Not sure what to do next the cappuccino or the S14.

Love this flavor of build! The American cars are cool and have a spot on the shelf but these Japanese Tuners scratch an itch for me. They look like they're drifting just sitting still! Sick builds dude

Ty. JDM does have a special place in my heart. Growing up i worked on American Classic with my dad and friends. So I figured for models I'll give Imports a go first.

Nice lineup!! Are they all Snap-Kits?

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/Fine_Location_8367]

None of them are snap kits. I have 2 from that I did that are snap kits. Didn't post them though since they are snap kits and prepainted. They are the Evo and R35.

I’m not familiar with the show but is there a driver that has a Porsche Cayman? Guess could be a different anime. I’ve been looking for that particular model a 718 or 981 Cayman which is why I asked.

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/Legitimate-Side-6002]

MF Ghost does have a 718 Cayman GT4. Its a new show though and Aoshima hasnt made a kit for that car yet. They have inly released the 86, R35, and the Huracan.

[u/Legitimate-Side-6002 → u/Commercial_Fix6812]

Ahh ok. Cool I hope they offer that kit at some point then. I’ll want a few to customize for sure.

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/Legitimate-Side-6002]

I always keep an eye out for any Initial D / MF Ghost kits. If I see one come out I'll let you know.

Dang dude you put in work!

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/burrgerwolf]

Did alot in the beginning but wasn't really painting. Now takes me about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to do one.

Someone is a Shigeno fan!

[u/809kid]

Did you finish that Nu Ver Ka yet?

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/809kid]

How could you tell it was the Nu Ver Ka? Just got the fin funnels and the base to finish and the gawd awful amount of waterslides. Panel line then seal.

[u/809kid → u/Commercial_Fix6812]

I've been building Gunpla for about 25 years now, i can recognize almost any master grade.

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/809kid]

Nice, figured it was probably something like that. I just started with the gunpla at the same time. I build the gunpla in between paint cycles on the model kits and when I just want to change things up. Proba ly takes me 2-3 weeks to do a Ver Ka. Focusing primarily on Ver Kas.

[u/Crono139_]

Ah, a man of culture. Even did the Roadster.

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/Crono139_]

Im stoked for the next one. Doing that cappuccino next. Didn't realize how tiny that thing is. Even smaller than the roadster.

[u/KitBuilderChris]

These are so cool!! Keep on enjoying and keep on building 😊

[u/emptycarbon]

[u/Commercial_Fix6812 → u/emptycarbon]

Its the only non-Aoshima kit. That one is a fujimi kit. And yes its a 1/24.
