Here is my newly progress project. I will be doing the same as the scratch drawing version. As I do believe Tamiya Will soon be release this as a model after this is on road. :rofl:

Sweet, I'm not surprised someone here is already working on one of these. Good luck w/the conversion, will be fun to watch the progress. I'm not sure I would have started w/the Z car vs. the Fujimi Skyline 350GT, but w/the amount of scratchbuilding involved to redesign the body it's not really going to matter much.

thread tracked :grinno:
can't wait to see if you're able to push up theproto from the Z :naughty:
if yes, you could cast for a lot of people, here, also 1 for me please :2cents: :2cents: :2cents: :2cents: :2cents: :2cents: :2cents: :2cents:

I want that project! :crying:

this definately looks like an interesting project, looks like a pretty good start so far, i'll definately be following this to see how it turns out, if i may ask, how do you plan to go about making the window?

nice to see you back Rtuned, hope you get started on the other cars too!:bigthumb:

hey, I have seen this before and still don't know what it is! :rofl:

WOWWWWW!! Nice project. Keep us updated (with photos too :p)

crazy project, i always have to comment on how great your body work/putty skills are

what kind of putty are you using

Thanks alot :biggrin:

white97ex... Tamiya Epoxy Putty (green box)

NissanSkylineGTR98... Vacum or cheat :iceslolan

flyonthewall... thanks alot, that's really help. :biggrin:

gionc... don't worry, I do think either Tamiya or Fujimi will be looking into this.

ZoomZoomMX-5... If I could had more time to consider, I think I will choose Skyline 350GT than 350Z. But guess is a bit late for me... :rolleyes:

Rtuned

Day 3, stage 1, I had sand it to shape. Next will be redo the rear.

Rtuned, I admire your scratch built job since the day you joined this forum. You really should consider making Resin kit out of your built.

great work!

Vric... Thanks, I'm still saving money to get vaccum chamber and modulo machine, so hope some day I could have my chance to release transkit too. :biggrin:

Here more,
Day 5, 1 stage continued...now it looks more like a GT-R than a 350Z :p
The rear will be putty up to redo again...

You're crazy,but i like it.

Grtzzzzzzz Nissanmotorsport

OMG teh r0X0R I LIEK IT!!!111

But seriously: very cool, I'm not a Skyline fan but this is a stunning project. You're a brave man to attempt this.

Master work.Congrads.

The body had redone, but still left a few minor error have to fix before I take few picts again. Here what I did to the interior, I take reference from the old 2001 GT-R concept and a little change on it.

Rtuned :icon16:

Amazing! You are a master of putty and styrene! I hope everything goes well from here on out.

nice!

so what have you got in mind for the drivetrain/engine?

i assume a modified 350Z engine but the drivetrain will be interesting to see what will happen.

I m on the sidelines cheering!

Oli

Awesome stuff Rtuned.
Wish I'd thought of it myself. Please more pics!!!

This is brilliant work!!! I am so impressed. As a :newbie: I am SOOO jealous!!

Keep up the BRILLIANT work Rtuned... :thumbsup: We need guys like you here!

Thanks again.

hks_kansei ... I'm afraid it will be a curb-side model as I do not have the skill in scratchbuilding the engine or drivetrain. :p

Rtuned :lol:

Wow! The wonders of car modeling...this is great stuff...I need to show this to my friends!

This is looking most excellent!

Finally got some picts to show... :p The rear is really hard to shape...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Rtuned/GT-Rproto-AF6.jpg

Still got some uneven surface to finish, then I will start on my interior. I will be changing the rear spoiler into GT wing as I find the concept wing look like 350Z spoiler. :icon16:

Rtuned

its coming along great!!

The body is coming along nicely looking real nice and smooth! :)

Man that is great!

WOW :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: WOW
Stunning scratchbuilding skills!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the finished product, good luck~!

looking awesome. can't wait to see more

are u going to modify the roof and windows? i found tht both cars have different shapes. Have fun!

Saw the model itself real life... superb stuff! David was nice enough to show me the interior itself as well.. really really good stuff.

Wow!! Looks great! Keep up the great work.

But, how are you going to make those clear parts?

Wow!! Looks great! Keep up the great work.

I will try to fix up with R34 rear light, if not then it will be Sakatsu lens. As for the front, it will be scratchbuild and len cover will be using 350Z.

Rtuned

You're the scratchmaster!
You said it!! Wow.!!!! Keep up the amazing progress!

amazing man..........
how did u acheive such high level of modeling

Finally got some more picts to show...it's almost ready to get primed.

Rtuned

Incredible!
You should be one of those guys that creates those clay models of prototypes...this is amazing!

Yes, as expected from the start, this is an awesome thread: congrats.

I havnt seen this thread in a while.
Nice work so far, esp. with the panel lines, keep it up :bigthumb:

Amazing work.

man post some bigger pics!

thats frickin sweet dude, holy smoke that car looks gorgeous.
Chris

This is coming along realll nice!!

That is impressive. Great work so far. Doesn't look completely acurate, but it's a really nice take on the design.....'coarse you're not quite done it yet either. It's lookin great though, really good work!! Keep it comming!

Impressed. Can't wait for more pics!

Rtuned your thread called. IT NEEDS AN UPDATE! :iceslolan

I want to make this car really bad....but I'm sure Tamiya will kit the GT-R when it hits the streets so I'll wait it out...then I'll convert it to the original show car which is in GT4.

Well three page's of non working pics but the fourth page payed off, nice work.
