R34

ok i r new to Af, i am one of those people whose daddy buys them evrerything, including my full size r34 that i imported.

I just wanted to know what color i should paint my tamiya r34. If there is a way to make the paint where the color changes when you move it.

Also, is this kit hard? I just about finished a revell integra type r. Is the skyline much harder that this because I found that kit pretty easy.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hmmmm,
If I were young enough to live at home and I had a Skyline GT-R, I wouldn't be putting around with models!!:rolleyes:

Um, use your fingers to form the putty into what you are trying to make. When the putty dries, sand it smooth. Don't use tube putty for such big jobs, use epoxy putty. You answered your own question there with the styrene sheets. Try to use hlj as a last resort or cheap alternative. Your local hobby shop should be the first place to look for your supplies.

You´re damn right, dude. But I drove only a VW Beetle (I had an accident, the car is only garbage :mad:) so I had to put around with models.

Welcome to AF. :) Got any pics of your ITR? :D

i'd suggest you paint it the same color as your real GTR, and feel free to post some pics of that.

dope, the picture i have of my skyline can't be uploaded

use this : www.automotiveforums.com/upload
Also make sure file size is under 100 kb... But you mean a pic of your 1:1 skyline , or the 1:24 skyline? I'd love to see your real skyline , how does it feel to drive a RHD car in LHD traffic? And shifting with left hand? What about it?

Or you can send it to me and i'll make it smaller so we can all see this car of your...
