Outdoor Fotoshoot – Part 1

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Today 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:

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

The 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, 2010

Over 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, 2010

The 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, 2010

Somehow 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.

Mini-Bull … a freezing outing

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Today my wife and I have been to a local forrest. We wanted to have a walk and take some pictures for her blog. I managed to squeeze the Mini-Bull with the remote into my backpack and managed a couple of minutes driving. For that one I used the new 900 mAh Team-Orion batteries …
