Project Tomy EX (27th Oct.,2009 updated)

[minimini]

really busy in the past two weeks......... ..........

today got a bit of leisure time.......spent 2 hours to fill in the shocks & attached the four legs...........

also have a trial of using the buggy tyres.......the outlook is quite acceptable........

[Mr. ED]

that'd look killer with a white body with metallic red-black motif and smoked windows.
Nice to see such a unique build.

wow.....Erik, what a great suggestion !!.......

I do plan to paint the shell in white background.......with some sort of flame pattern like Masami's ..........looks like a Black Devil if using black wheels.......

but the wheels will eventually be changed back to white one.......finally become a White Phantom........

excellent build. looks trick. are all the modded parts made for the tomy? or did you get the modded parts from other cars?

the red C-hubs & rear uprights are option parts for TB Evo III (by "SQUARE")........

while the red universals are made by "KOSE" ........especially designed for Tomy EX.......fitted with Yokomo wheel adaptors.........

recently bought another set of graphite chassis.......which was collected from different 2nd hand shops bit by bit........

Project Tomy EX (no. 2) is ready now.......

[Mr. ED]

Kind of expensive, but kinda right for the value I guess:

[minimini]

recently bought an NIB Tomy EX shell in yahoo.jp..........need to think about what to paint on this shell......

[Mr. ED]

How about the silk-cut theme of the Jaguar GP cars?
Or an Adidas or Puma theme...

[minimini]

actually I want to paint it with some famous Japanese R/C driver's pattern.........just like 870c painted with Masami's pattern.......matching that era......

but I can't get any Tomy EX's old photos so far......maybe Tomy was not famous enough to attract good drivers at that time.......

[JK Racing]

minimini....you should send one to me for closer inspection....

great looking car. I have been looking for one to start on, I know there is an Adonis on ebay right now, but I want the full CF chassis set up you have. What are the chances of getting paper copies of all the bits you have?

Oh...the local shop by me has the Intruder sticker sheets on the wall...PM me if you want/need a set.

[minimini]

bought this NIB undertray & tyres in a local forum..........

the wheels look really like tomatoes..........delicious !!.........woooo........

[Mr. ED]

Can't wait for some action pics of this car!

I met up with minimini on the evening of Nov 12. I saw this car and I can only say AWESOME!!!!

He managed to polish the graphite to such high shine, it is a sin to touch it...
