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... :)
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😅
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 TH-cam. 10/10
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😉)
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!
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!
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 TH-cam channel so, here I am to support you my friend. I'm promoting my TH-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. 🤜🤛✌👋😃
@@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.
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 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!
its wet sanding. after clear coat is applied, you sand down the clear coat and repolish it for a shinier look. I believe water is there to lubricate it just so you don't burn through the paint. sanding also gets rid of the orange peel effect.
This resto-model blew my marbles in twenty million hot wheels cars... If that makes sense And also the wheels on this euro-slayer will make a fiat multipla at least half decent xD
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
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
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
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
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

Im gonna buy a dicast from CVS and do this inshallah.
Honestly, really nice work, very informative as well and very entertaining to watch.
thank you so much~ glad you like it!
So cool. Always dreamt of customizing my models as a kid
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🤣🤣
Now I have watched the whole video, what a transformation. Great job 👍
Thanks man 😁😁
other than the brake calipers being in the wrong position, this model car transformation is amazing.
Really good review - thank you - blue one ordered.
Thanks so much now I’m going to customize my Supra 1/18
Let's do it! =D
Literally looks like an Ignition model! Great work! 👏👏👏👏
Do more!
Haha thanks!!😄😄 glad to hear that😄

what is the front lip made of? what is this material? Exelent job
I use tamiya epoxy putty,,😃
@@JHHobby thank u. I will do that too :)
On his video it says its, "Tamiya epoxy putty".
I loled when you put bride on the seats 🤣 just had to eh?
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😅
fantastic wow 👍👍👍
thanks!
Hmmm, given me an idea. I have a couple of maistro vehicles collecting spider webs in the garage, parts would be ideal for my FTX rock crawler. 🤔😁
Haha you should modify them😉😆
@@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.
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
Nice build! What glue did you use to hold the wheels?
Thanks! I use strong superglue😂
Perfect job 🤩🤩🤩
thanks!!
0:00 is where the legend was born…
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😁
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.
Thanks man! Glad u like it😁 i use mini rotary grinder tool
@@JHHobby what brand tho? Like dremel or ?
Can you do more budget 1/18 scale car customization?
I'm planning too haha, but 1/18 cost alot at my country and the parts are quite expensive too =(
Ok I understand. Where did you get the rims and seats from??
@@BR_Two it is from TK-diecast =D
Nice 👍
Awesome job man! Congrarulations@
thanks!
Cantik bosku
Thanks bro😁
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!
Hey, for pearls paint like this you need black base😄
@@JHHobby thanks!
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
thanks! i got it all from TK-diecast =) i think i did put it on the video and description haha..let me double check
12:29 why? What is the reason for do this? I want to learn.
its wet sanding. after clear coat is applied, you sand down the clear coat and repolish it for a shinier look. I believe water is there to lubricate it just so you don't burn through the paint. sanding also gets rid of the orange peel effect.
Thanks for answering😁😁
Nice job
hi, the honda logo was still visible where it originaly was located.
And i never understand why someone cleares the car logo emblems.
I know
Any tips on the wet sanding post painting? Also, any tips on polishing if you don't have a rotary buffer?
Yes i made a tutorial about it..u can check out the video on my channel😁
Monte-Carlo Blue S2000 always had black interior. And stock cars are looking better than jdm posers dream. Anyway good work
This resto-model blew my marbles in twenty million hot wheels cars...
If that makes sense
And also the wheels on this euro-slayer will make a fiat multipla at least half decent xD
By euro-slayer i mean this car kicks BMW bumpers especially the once with the "AmErIcAs SaFeTY bUmPeRs"
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
This is amazing!!!
thanks!!
Brilliant video, I'm a new subscriber!
wow you made that $15 car look like a $25 car amazing
haha thanks
I want to ask where do u buy the parts which are used to attach the wheels?
Id like to make my s2000 into something like this
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
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
Which colors brands did you use for paining?
hi, i use automotive paint =D
@@JHHobby thanks bro, love your workings
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
Do you need to have a basecoat or can you paint straight over the primer
Straight paint after primer
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
