Resurrecting this thread

Not sure if this counts exactly, but I got a $2 gachapon R33 GTR model last month in Japan.

Basically if you're not familiar gachapon are like those old-school candy vending machines where you popped a quarter in, spun the thing a bit, and it dropped some candy for you down the slot.

In Japan, gachapons more typically have small toys and such.

In this case, small car models since it's a gachapon thing at the famous car meeting location, Daikoku PA.

Anyway, first time doing one of these:













Pretty easy model. Took me about half an hour since I'm an amateur. They provide two sets of wheels and tires. They also give you a hood prop so you can park it with the hood opened if you want.

Fun little model and they provide a QR code to a video walkthrough in case you're a dumb, like me:

The R32 build I'm working on has been currently collecting dust. LOL. I might try grafting an R34 front bumper onto it. I still gotta finish the opening driver's door.
