Datsun Minitruck

bizarrely enough, the wheels came in the kit!!!!

oh right i thought it was a kit you'd modified to slam etc. good stuff tho

Did you put a Laurel front end on it? Looks nice

it's an open source game called torcs, not much of a sim (only got 3d wheels last month) more in the line of gt1+2 easy to play with the keyboard and the main aim of the games community is to create 'robots' that race cars. which makes for excellent ai when you race yourself.
creating cars is easy as falling off a log, get ac3d.
torcs is 10 years old and still in development. it's nealy as old as linux it's self!

Datsun 720 Lowrider kit?

I have the same one, got as far as cutting the doors and bonnet open, seperating the cab from the bed, blanking in the rear of the cab and cutting out the bed inner fenders, was going to build a tube chassis and a bagged 4-link in the back...

Looking good Johnny, I almost baught the same kit i think when i was thinking about the remote control lowrider model ages ago.
Is there a version of the same kit, or at least body moulding, that comes in yellow?

don't mean to be negative but I think you need some more practise before getting over ambitious, bumper and number plate are crooked, the clear plastic parts look terrible, like they have had glue all over them, bits of sprue not cleaned off the exhaust, the wheels shoved through the bed like that destroy any hope of it looking realistic as its obvious there isntroom for them to rotate, it just looks plastic all over, sorry.


to improve negative post, there are much better glues than the melty plastic type, you can buy clear stuff in pots with a brush in the lid that wont make big messy globules or mist up plastic windows, its easier to apply as well and will help you get much better looking models.
