featured scale modeller: Tareque/Taz from the UK

My featured modeller now is Tareque or Taz from the UK. He is one talented modeller and he has some real great builds, two of which are featured here.

One is a full custom detailed and scrathcbuilt Fortune Veilside RX7 (of the the movie Tokyo Drift fame). the scrathbuilt body kit is nuts.

The other is a Nissan 180sx drift car, with a fully detailed gutted interior and engine bay, from a pig nose to a kouki conversion. Overall its one if not the best 180sx builds ou there.

Additionally, Taz writes fort us:

"Hey there everyone, Ive always been mad about cars, particularly JDM since i was a young teenager.and .as with alot of people, my modelling career started from building up a snap-on diecast kit. I came across plastic car kits that appealed to me hugely..bought one, and it all went from there! Now Ive been doing it for 6 years. I hope you enjoy my latest builds as much as I did making them."

On to pictures:

Amuse Camouflage GTR

and my fascination with the GTR continues.

this is from Raees, who was also featured here a while back. And his GTR is a very unusual one.

Not only does it have the very nice Jet Model Amuse Transkit, it has a very unusual design, a carbon-camouflage design! very creative and and very unusual for a supercar. But it jsut works well that i really love it.

here are kit specs from Raees:

kit: tamiya gtr.
resin parts: jet amuse transkit.
rims: custom made using jets rims. lock nuts and airvalves.
interior: recaro seats from jet and p.e parts
brakes: p.e set over tamiya plastic.
paints: top half black. bottom half white.
custom 8-bit pattern using two grades of carbon firbe( crazy modeller)
