As a 16 year old this sounds dope! When I'm older and have enough money for a project car, I need to get a model of it and put all the mods I do onto my project car, onto my model and keep it in my car😉👌 You have inspired me😅
Damn you!!! As if I needed another thing eating up my time. Guess I'm into diecast model car renovations now🤷♂️ Thanks a lot for making it look irresistibly interesting and fun... hope you sleep well at night knowing I'm up late painting model cars!🤬 (and seriously enjoying it😉)
Almost reminds me one of those channels with fake restoration, when guy breaks models in convenient way for restoration (just scratches paint and throws some dirt on it :D ), but in this case there is actually lots of modeling skill involved, good job! That's sad, when channel like this has so little subs, and fake ones have over 200k... :)
You've made a static display piece which is fine, we're not children who play brum brums with these models. Great work all round making vast improvements. Some of the best mods and resto on UA-cam. 10/10
Great to see the transformation from red to blue. I'm a proud owner of blue S2000 with black interior. Now I need bronze wheels :) Greetings from the Netherlands
I found this very informative. Thank you for giving us the step by step tutorial. Your work looks better than anything that AutoArt could produce. One thing that would have pushed it over the top would be to use some flocking in the interior. Overall, I give this an A+!
Amazing transformation there, looks great with all the modification you have carried out. The colour you chose for the body is lovely too, well done. Subscribed.. looking forward to see more videos!
I'm absolutly impressed and speechless what a great video and work! much respect from germany i also collect 1/18s mostly jada dub or pro rodz from maisto.. but its kinda hard for me to make any tuning on it. You sir inspired me! Thanks! Can u do a lowrider maybe ? cadillac fleetwood or even a crx ?
O azul das pinças de freio da SPOON, é de tom mais claro! Talvez vc.deixou assim p.ñ.ter problemas c.a marca? Mas adesivos c.os logos! Ñ.entendi! De resto ficou TOP D+! Very good! So good as a original! (Real). Good work!
Color combo is sick. Love the blue with bronze wheels and red adds the splash of color. Really surprised how well headlights look considering the brand. Def a very nice build bro. What rotary tool were you using to polish with? I need a new one to replace my dremel.
What's up JH? Your boy Big A stopping by to congratulate you on your channel and to add myself to your subscriber base. I know how much time and effort goes into growing and sustaining a UA-cam channel so, here I am to support you my friend. I'm promoting my UA-cam channel and I would greatly appreciate your support as well. Keep those videos coming my friend, I really appreciate what you contribute to our the diecast community. Take care and God bless you and your family during this challenging and uncertain times. 🤜🤛✌👋😃
Do you do requests? If so, could you do a WRX? Any year and whatever style you think looks best! I feel like you’d come up with a clean build no doubt 🔥 Excited to see more!
Awesome work! And now it looks like a high quality model car compared to before, also it gives me an inspiration to restore my old modelcar aswell. How much budget estimate to restore it?
Haha indeed right😂 it looks more premium now haha..the parts are quite costly to be honest😅 but if normal paint job and set of wheels wont cost u much..maybe around $20 ~30
hi, its a sanding plastic block..not sure what brand, but its a hobby tools. got it from my local hobby store. try google "hobby sanding block"? hope this helps
Wow, great work! Did you apply the smoke effect on the headlights to outside of the lens or inside? I couldn’t tell. And what kind of paint did you use for that? Thanks!
thanks man! i spray the smoke black outside the headlights =) for the colour its custom mix by paint shop, pearl blue with little bit of purple. clear is Mr.hobby
JH-Hobby No problem! You deserve all the compliments. You completely transformed the look of the model and added so much value to it. The paint for smoking the lenses is just like a standard black spray paint then?
@@JHHobby I have already stripped bits off and started adding to my 1:18 crawler, I'm sending the Ford Mustang to someone who has a 1:24 crawler as it would fit his better.
Amazing job !!!!!! I would like to do some custom part in my models too like you have done on front bumper !!!! Can you make a tutorial of how to do it ?
thanks man! maybe 1 day i will do a tutorial for it haha, because for this lip is quite simple just using the tamiya epoxy putty and sand it to shape..just took time to make up the shape haha
What did you mix to make the blue so pearl and dark? I’m making a custom Audi right now and I want that same basic material just in my dark pearl green. Thanks!
@@JHHobby thank you for the quick reply! I love the 1:18 model customization. I decide to start that as my hobby this year. And look forward to more 1:18 model customizing videos from you!
Instead of sanding the car for hours just soak it in paint thinner for an hour. Literally comes out as bare metal just gotta flick off some goo with a toothbrush. That's what I do on all mine
Fantastic video how did you stop all the doors and hood sticking when painting also what camera mount or set up are you useing when working on car is it right in front of you ??
Thanks! I put a small wood/sticky tack to hold them in position😂 and for the camera setup i use a mini tripod only. The camera is right infront of me when i shoot
Finally! A Channel that doesn't need to make fake restorations to make a good video!
Hahaha yeah man🤣 i cant stand those fake resto too🤣
Can't go wrong with a set of te-37s! Things look good on everything from s2000 models to half million dollar McLarens lol
ahaha so true right! literally any car, From K-car to JDM, euro, supercars haha
@@JHHobby can you please tell me where to get everything

That color actually clean as hell 🙀🙀
Haha thanks!!🤗🤗😍
Honestly, really nice work, very informative as well and very entertaining to watch.
thank you so much~ glad you like it!
Nice work, I'm more impressed you didn't strip the paint, make it dirty and "find it" in a creek like the other youtubers 🤣
Hahaha!🤣 im not some fake resto channel🤣🤣

thank you so much! will do more in the future~
Im about to faint with how good this is!!!
Im gonna buy a dicast from CVS and do this inshallah.
Now I have watched the whole video, what a transformation. Great job 👍
Thanks man 😁😁
Pretty wild man. Would love to see you do a civic coupe!

Hey man thanks alot! Really appreciate it!😁😁 owhh thats a great idea too haha maybe one day i will do tht
other than the brake calipers being in the wrong position, this model car transformation is amazing.
So cool. Always dreamt of customizing my models as a kid
Thanks so much now I’m going to customize my Supra 1/18
Let's do it! =D
Nice build! What glue did you use to hold the wheels?
Thanks! I use strong superglue😂
awesome 1st youtube video! the s2000 turned out great!😊👍
Thanks man!
Are you malaysian bro? Hope to see more maisto collection car! I really enjoyed how you modify it. Peace!
Haha yes bro😁😁 im from sarawak haha..many thanks brother!
Beautiful work ... the wheels are glued or they spin ?
It used to be spin able..but i dislike how the wheels and brakes offset looks so i modified it to fit perfectly thus sacrifice the movement
Great job, a work of art. Where can I buy wheels, rims, disc brakes, driver's seats, any website you recommend?
For 1:18 scale u can get them on TK-Diecast😁
Wow love how you transformed a $15 model to look more premium. Btw I noticed the front calipers are on opposite directions. Otherwise great job!
Thanks man! Ahh dint notice that mistake😅
Wow great job on this S2K 👌 I have the same but « stock » 😁
Thanks man🤗🤗😄😄

I like your build! This is my 2nd time watching the video because it inspired me to customize my 240z!
Awesome work! And now it looks like a high quality model car compared to before, also it gives me an inspiration to restore my old modelcar aswell. How much budget estimate to restore it?
Haha indeed right😂 it looks more premium now haha..the parts are quite costly to be honest😅 but if normal paint job and set of wheels wont cost u much..maybe around $20 ~30
very cool man. can you add a description of where you brought the custom parts from , for people who are interested in doing this too

fantastic job my friend truly beautiful work. 👍
Thanks alot !😄😄
How did you get the wheels n stuff I need a set of those! I'm trying to customize a 1/18 scale car
I got it from TK-Diecast..they supply all the parts for 1/18 scale😁

Amazing bro. New suscriptor
thank you so much! really appreciate it!
Do you need to have a basecoat or can you paint straight over the primer
Straight paint after primer
Which colors brands did you use for paining?
hi, i use automotive paint =D
@@JHHobby thanks bro, love your workings
Hi where did you get that yellow sanding sponge? I’m gonna try my first putty widebody and i wanna make sure I have the right supplies :)
hi, its a sanding plastic block..not sure what brand, but its a hobby tools. got it from my local hobby store. try google "hobby sanding block"? hope this helps
Amazing transformation! Congrats!! The red paint you use is a regular matte finish or suede finish..?
Wow, great work! Did you apply the smoke effect on the headlights to outside of the lens or inside? I couldn’t tell. And what kind of paint did you use for that? Thanks!

What kind of air brush kit do you use? Also, where did you get the tiny stickers, seatbelts, etc? I am so inspired I can't wait to start!!!!
Now im using Mr.hobby airbrush, last time i use ebay Veda airbrush..and for the stickers i got them at TK-Diecast too with the parts.
What did you mix to make the blue so pearl and dark? I’m making a custom Audi right now and I want that same basic material just in my dark pearl green. Thanks!

I have a 2002 z4 and i would like to customize is what would you suggest me to do ?
hi, normally a wheels swap, lower it and new paint job will totally change the whole car looks =)
Thanks alot
And how i do i lower the car and buy after market wheels?
@@lamar4363 it depends on the model..have to find a way on your model haha..no specific ways to lower it.. for the wheels u can search at TK-diecast
Thanks man i appreciate it
does the wheels roll perfectly?
Nope😅 it use to roll but i want the brakes to look close to the wheel so i have to fixed the movement
Can I use thinner to get the paint off instead of sanding it??
yes you can =) but avoid using it on plastic parts haha
Looks sooo good, I wanna try it but looks very hard to do
Thanks! Its not too hard to do..just that the parts are quite expensive😅
Just got into these models. It’s amazing work do you sell them ?
Quedo muy bien me gusto mucho 👍👍👍
Nice 👍
Awesome build!!! Looks so much better!!!
Excellent job
Thanks!
What rotary tool is that when you used the compound?
its just a mini grinder =) or some called it dremal tool
Awesome work
最高にカッコイイ！good!!🇯🇵
Instead of sanding the car for hours just soak it in paint thinner for an hour. Literally comes out as bare metal just gotta flick off some goo with a toothbrush. That's what I do on all mine
and do you have to do some preparation after that or just spray the primer on the metal?
@@gaboaaa23 just rinse and dry
Great Work!!!! Where did you get the seat belts from?
Thanks man!! Its all from TK-Diecast😁
Idk if i missed it but how did you go about lowering it?
Oh it’s easy when you unscrew the wheels you just remove the spring of each of the wheels and the car will be lowered
很厲害👍🏻👍🏻
thanks!

@@JHHobby thanks for reply so the paint didn't stick the doors closed and what paint and primer do you recomend
@@HUB1987 he mentioned in another comment that he uses automitive paint and mr. hobby clearcoat
what tool were you using to remove the smaller parts when dismantling the model? (e.g brake lights, etc). I find that the hardest bit!
I use the smallest flat head screwdriver i can find😂
