2015 year summary and Lada 2107

Hi!
I haven't post for long, long time, I apologize for that and promise I'll do better next time ;)

It’s New Year’s Eve, so I want to show a little summary of last year. I started my scale car adventure in December 2014, so this summary will contain cars also from that month.
Cars bought in 2015: 119
96 1:43 cars
21 1:64 cars
2 1:24 cars

I modified 39 cars and build one. 4 of it need to be redone. I also have 10 cars currently on workshop.
Also I did interior repaints for 3 cars which aren’t mine.

Plans for next Year?
-Finish all cars from workshop
-Photograph at least 75% of my collection and make it affordable to watch for everyone
-Reach 20k views on my blog (currently near 4k it's 3992! C'mon!) and 2k likes on Facebook


And now, Lada 2107. I modified this car as my first tuned scale car. Now I smoked headlights and painted bumpers+grille in matt black. I also redo ducktail.

Twin Build #4: Volga M21

Hi!
It's really sad, that I almost don't have time for posting and even for work with my scale cars :/
And You may be surprised, why I wrote "#4". So... second Twin Build was two Chevelles SS from HotWheels and they turn out really bad. Third Twin Build was two Huracans also from HW... which I didn't post?! Oooops my bad, I apologize and will fix this later ;)
So fourth build was two Volgas.
Black one was damaged and presents a car from II series.
Yellow one was stock from АВТОМОБИЛЬ НА СЛУЖБЕ and presents a car from III series.
I mixed it together, to made two proper scale cars for my collection :)

So...

What's new in the workshop #10 "Time to go back"

Hi!
I didn't post for long, long time. Sorry for that, but I don't have much to post sadly. When I got some time, I work with fast and easy jobs, and they're totally uninteresting to post. But today I decided to start working with old models, cause everyone of it need to be reworked a bit.
Today on workbench were:
Mercedes Actros MP1
MAZ 503B
Jelcz 317
Lamborghini Huracan (2x)

Hot Wheels Workshop: Part #4-Fall in love

Hi! I thought I can post something about Lada, but I search through pictures and there are no updates! I'm shocked a bit... But even if I have 5 next HW on workbench, I'll know work only with 1/43 scale for some time ;)
Last thing for now from HotWheels, that I want to show is Nissan Skyline C111 "Kenmeri", inspired by Kato's blue one. Probably it's most advanced HotWheelsCustom from my workshop, full repaint, custom made rear wall, custom made rims and tires, custom made rollcage, oil cooler etc. You'll see on photos ;) It isn't 100% replica of LibertyWalk one, cause it's got another type of ducktail, rear lights, some minor changes in mine 1/64 car :)

W.I.P Build #1: JDM Lada 2107 Third: Long way to go

Hi! :)
I want to apologize for frequency of updates, but I don't have time for post and even for work.

Hot Wheels Workshop: Part #3-Slow down!

Hi!
Another post about HotWheels, sorry for this. I've got really busy time in school, and don't seem to be better in future.
After four HW done, I'll pause for a while-now got only lowrider Chevelle on bench, and Huracan in drawer.
All power of will now go to the NissanLada ;) It's too good project to lay on bench such long time!
But now I want to invite You to read a post, which conlude my HotWheels work for now.

Hot Wheels Workshop: Part #2-Still learning

Hi!
Maybe some of You are bored with me, still modding HotWheelses ;)
I'm also working with Lada, but for now I have a lot of sanding, so I can do it only some minutes per day, to not destroy my fingers completely ;)



As You remember, I present orange Silverado last time.

Hot Wheels Workshop: Part #1-Introduce

Hi!
Some of You maybe know my Facebook page so title of post won't be suprising. This week I started renewing two Chevys Chevelle SS, but in little different scale. They're 1/64 Hot Wheels die-casts. They were in bad condition, chassisies almost didn't exist. But after some time, they end up as really good (remembering previous state) scale cars ;)

W.I.P Build #1: JDM Lada 2107 Second: Getting shape

Hi!
It take long time from previous post with NissanLada, but I didn't do much. Why? I'm waiting for Milliput, I've got some issues, I work with another Lada to stress out and I was really busy in school. But I have some photos, and I'm going to show it to You really quickly ;)

Additional Photoshoot: Moskvitch 407

Hi!

W.I.P Build #1: JDM Lada 2107 First: Introduction

Hi!
Finally I found some time, to compile everything in one thing and show You with what I'm curently working.
So let's start from the begging. I always want to build something special, unusual... I decided to build strongly modified Lada 2107. Last week I finally decided to start this W.I.P. and now it's time to show my progress.
List of future mods I want to do:
-lowered suspension
-modified chassis
-shaved interior
-removed bonnet
-full engine (SR20DET)and engine bay-scratch build
-custom bodykit
-JDM wheels
-JDM stylish of exterior
Three last things from list are still undecided.

Additional Photoshoot: 2xRAF 2203

Hi!
I've been really tired yesterday and today in turn I'm really busy. I've got special posts for such a occasion, so I want to show You first post from series "Additional Photoshoot". In this series I'll show You cars showed previously but in new scenery and with new photos. For the first shoot I'll show two RAFs 2203.
Beside they're the same cars, there are also one thing which connect them: Blue one is first scale car I did, and green is one I did almost half year later. Can You spot a difference?
To see full changes list and everything else go here (blue) or here (green)

What's new in the workshop #9 "Something newer"

Hi!
As You probably saw on Facebook I done Lada 112, which is really new car compared to my other works, it has only twenty years ;)

Presentation: Nysa 522F Resto

Hi!
Firstly I want apologize for title: I do research, and still didn't know which version my Nysa scale car presents. It's really close to T (Towos; tow states for "towarowo"-commodity, os states for "osobowa"-personal), but my hasn't got two windows on the driver's side. It's also really close to "F" (Furgon-van), but has got windows in rear and side doors, "Furgon" doesn't have it. So I named it "F" cause it's easier to made glass instead of metal covers, than made glass in side of car.
Car comes as Polish Citizen Milita car, nicknamed "Suka", which you can translate as "bi*ch" ;) It's caused by fact that officers of Militia, take people inside this car and beat them. It takes a lot of work to remove door from driver's side (only "suka" comes with slided doors on both sides) and this side isn't very smooth, You can notice this in pictures :)
But I always wasn't really good at talking, so let the pictures speak for themselves:

Make: ZSD Nysa

Model: 522F

Model maker: IST Models for DeAgostini's Poland "Kultowe Auta PRL"
Scale: 1:43 diecast
List of mods:
-removed door from left side of car
-removed top-strip from whole car
-removed bumpers
-removed rear reflective lights
-removed wipers
-car painted to RAL 5018
-wheels from Warszawa 203
-lowered suspension
-interior and chassis done from scratches
-wooden floor in interior
-imitation of airride suspension system in rear
-set of Work Equips inside
-dashboard painted in body's colour
-additions painted silver
-rear lights repainted
-polish registration plate, type 76' on rear

I think it's all, I'm going on holidays next Saturday, I think there will be no posts, but I'll inform You on my Facebook page ---> http://facebook.com/brociu43workshop <---
