Hi guys...

Since I messed up the decal and are waiting for the replacement, I am thinking of building something different.

The subject.... Nissan Leopard Turbo that I bought from HHQ before they move to the new location.


This is the rims that I will be using for the build...


Test fitting the rim to the car...




This will be built into a bosozaku car, a Japanese modification that are totally extreme that you might not be able to absorb the modification done with what you usually saw on the road. :lol:

P/S: Sky will know what I'm talking about. :lol:

front bumper with a 2 feet lip extended? :lol:

haiya sifu, start without me leh..... :(

It's ok, when you shift into the 3rd gear, I'll catch up with you :P, give you 8 tiang first then I'm cominggggggg hehe. Oh baby this car is justttt niceee for the project.

Rear exhaust pipes with 4 meter extensions? :lol:

Oh yeah... front spoiler will be a 24th scale of about 2 feet length... :lol:

Don't forget, Hello kitty exhaust tip... :lol:

aku pon tau ape huhuhuhuu

so gurachan AKA gulcharan lak bila nak start ni :lol: B) :ph43r:

so what color are u planning to do?

The car session is getting more and more exiting.

abg vince, hehe you aint seen nothing yet. Cars section is coming upppppppppppppppp :lol:

Abg lan, muahahahaha broder druid buat bosuzoku. Aku akan buat gurachan plak wahahahahaha. Bila nak start ni abg lan? yko buat VIP lah!, your build also very menarik wooooooo

The fun is going to start. Gentlemen start your engines.......................

sorry, i mean 2 meter, 2 feet sikit je :P

colour must be LOUD, pink? :lol:

You all quite dashyat jugak ye :P

Make the intercooler SUPER HUGE, billboard size :lol:

Then make the interior "Turtle Shell design" or "zebra" with bulu bulu :lol: :lol:

You read my mind Entau, it's going to be shocking pink with pearl red and maybe silver lines with large metallic flakes for the artwork... :D

This will be the beginning of more interesting things for the auto and bike modelers... :lol:

sky's zebra interior also sure match the pink scheme kaw kaw :lol:

Yeah... Zebra design seat cover and fur all over the dashboard... With red and interior paint and gold polkadots... sure will make a few onlookers vomit blood... hahahahaha

sure this is going to be a very interesting built :lol:

Ok, more update on the Leopard build. I have added the front splitter that is usually present on bosozoku cars using 0.5mm plastic sheet.




After that is done, I added the most important thing on the car that differentiates it from the normal cars... A very huge front skirt. I added a full 2cm length of front spoiler on the car, again using 0.5mm plastic sheet.




Since that is also done and just needs some filling and sanding, I continue with building the side skirts and extra-large wheelarch. The side skirt is again using 0.5mm plastic sheet and the wheelarch extension is built using 0.25mm plastic sheet. Bondite will be added later on the wheelarch to make it more sturdy and to make it easier to detail. Bondite will also add the thickness to the wheelarch.




Shown below is the overall modification that is done last weekend.





That's all for now. More coming soon.. hopefully... :lol:

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this is super crazy bro. No wonder people call you sifu :P :P . I am still shaking my head over this crazy custom built bodykit of yours :o :o :o .

very fierce 'look', now i start to wonder how tall/how huge the rear wing will be :lol:

my guess would be 3 cm high :P .

The rear wing will not be that high but the tailpipe is... hahaha... It is going to be huge and 90 degree angle. Will look like a truck tailpipe at the rear bumper...

Ok guys, more update... This time... the exhaust... :lol:

Usually this type of cars are installed with exhaust so rediculous that you can't even imagine one would has it installed on their car. So, off I go building the most wierd exhaust system that I don't even sure if it really improves anything if it is on a real car. Using various size of plastic tubes and rods, below are picture. It is still incomplete and more needs to be done.



While rumaging through the toolbox, I came across an intercooler that I have casted years ago and decided I will use this with the car. Since the hose are messed up during the casting process, I remove it and will rebuild it later. Below are just the mock-up on where the intercooler will be at.



Now all I need is an oil cooler and it will be perfect. :lol:

Since the exhaust is almost complete, I just test fit it to see how it looks on the car. The weirder the better is all I can say... :lol:



Notice that I have also added bondite on the rear fender. This will then be smoothed out and add details to make it look better.






That's all for now. :D

oh man..... this is getting more and more exciting :lol: :lol: :lol: I think the exhaust not enough height :P

It is not completed yet lah... It will be higher than that... :lol:

More update on the Leopard...

I decided I want to go a bit more extreme on the modifications. I saw in a movie a car that has its turbo unit sticks out of the bonnet and decided to give it a try. So, using a plastic rod and a part from a disposable lighter, I scratchbuilt a turbo unit. Since it will not be visble fully so I just build it for looks and not as per the real thing.

This is how it looks like.


Another angle...


Next is to prepare the place where the turbo unit is going to be located. It might not look realistic but then again, this car itself is unrealistic if you are looking at a normal car build's point of view... :lol: So, to put the turbine, first I have to cut off a hole. There is an air intake hole on the bonnet and that is the best area where I can locate the turbine.

First off, I cut off the air intake on the bonnet and put a plastic sheet to cover it while leaving a hole just enough to fit the turbine.



Since that is done, I test fit the turbine in the hole... looks good...

Close up on the turbine and the location.



Since I am satisfied with the location, I move on to putting bondite on the front fender and the sides of the spoiler.

I have also put a mock-up rear spoiler as guidance. Will be making the real one after I have finished with the interior.


Moving on to the interior, I just made a template and trace it onto a sandpaper and glue it onto the floor. Reason being I'm too lazy to fill in the holes.


When that is done, I just can't wait trying to dryfit and get the whole look of the car...







That's all the update for now... More cleaning need to be done before this car can make it to the paint shop... :D

wow..druid, the extended wheel arch mod looks clean, is it sanded? everthing looks GREAT! ^_^

only 1 word can describe it. DAMN CUNNNNNN ^_^

How to make the siput? i still dont get it. Using a part from a lighter and plastic rod. No putty? huhu. Me want to tiruuuuuuu :P

Entau: The wheelarch is shaped using Bondite and plastic sheet is used as guidance. After the Bondite is applied, I smooth it using wet finger to get the shape.

Sky: Will provide pictorial guidance when I have the time.

cantik la im.......your turbine also looks a bit like the real one :D

are you going to use the this wheel or do you have another set?

Thanks AzlanD, I think I'm going to use this wheel. I have another set though but will be using it for another model car.

pergh.. fullamakatak..!!!..

i rarely come to car section but this is cool.. :D

so the exhaust you said will higher? any plan to share with us on how it might looks like?

err planning to put the cover on top of the exhaust like those we see on a truck exhaust.. you know he flap thinggy... so hujan wont go in :lol:

something like this.. :D


i know i saw those lips somewhere.. here is what i found :lol:



keep it coming imran... :D

kuman

abg lan selam, Barulah cuak sikit, ini bosuzoku lalu sebelah itu yakuza punya VIP :P

Abg kuman, macam sama ek design tu? :lol:

Kuman: The exhaust will be split into two which means that there will be four exhaust tip and it will be facing backwards and the exhaust tip will have a "Hello Kitty" shape on it... :lol:

Sky: Design sama lah sebab inspiration pun comes from the same type of modification... :lol:

pergh...
hello kitty shape.... this shape?

:D

and hopefully the car will be under pink color... :D
my daughter would love your pink-car then.. :lol:

kuman

Since you asked, below are the car that inspired me to build the bosozoku cars... as well as the hello kitty exhaust tip... credit goes to the owner to these pictures.

The car that inspires this build...


The Hello Kitty exhaust tip....


Hope this answers your questions and curiosity... :lol:

ehehehe....MEOW MEOW :D :P

jangan marah haaaa

GANAS but CUTE :lol:
