Outdoor Fotoshoot – Part 2
Monday, May 24th, 2010Outdoor Fotoshoot – Part 1
Monday, May 24th, 2010Today my wife, my sister and me have been out in Krefeld. We went to the Botanical Garden and the Schönwasser Park. Bsides some doll motives which you will be able to see on their respective bogs I managed to take some pictures as well. I had some XMods (The red Hummer and the white Porsche) and two Mini-Z (the Subaru and the Nissan) with me. Here are some images for you, in part 1 it’s the XMod Trucks:
The Mini-RC Family …
Sunday, March 7th, 2010I don’t know what it is with those little buggers, they seem to have a biological live and reproduce … here are all my current cars, starting with the Carson (and Radioshack) XMODS:
White Supra Gen1 Chassis with Mini-Z Tires
Yellow Nissan Skyline Gen1
Getting the Skyline onto the Mini-Z AWD Chassis
Sunday, February 7th, 2010The Skyline of the previous post was not meant to sit on the AWD chassis, but it can be a nice fit and a nice drifter as well.

Skyline the hardest work done?
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Over the last couple of days I di fit the body kit for the skyline so that the huge gaps in the body lines may disappear. It took quite some sanding and refitting to get where it is now:

Skyline – the project
Monday, January 4th, 2010The Nissan Skyline will be the first X-Mod Project I am doing. The final car will be based on the well documented demo car of Focus Auto Sales. The car is a 1999 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR Vspec in the factory colour Lightning Yellow with white rims and some subtle body modifications. The guys over at FAS allowed me the use of images but in exchange they want pictures of the finished X-Mod …

X-Mods sighted
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Somehow those mini-rc cars seem to multiply … You all know my Kyosho MR02 and the Mini-Bull, now there are some X-Mods here as well. During the Christmas period one of the german online sellers had a special offer where you could buy 3 for €90,– which by itself is a good offer. One (a ’65 Mustang) was given as a gift to my brother-in-law while the other two remained with me. I am talking about a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec and a ’06 Mustang.

The topic of small scale RC modelling cam to my attention a couple of years ago when I was watching a feature on TV about some crazy guys who built some of those trial trucks and exhibited them in Dortmund on the Intermodellbau. Their site is here: IG Micromodell and has parts available in English. (more…)
