hey everyone...amazin forum you guys have here, i check it religously everyday. I am just very lazy to post my own cars on here, hehe :o

anyways, here are my latest creations in progress
both body kits are ordered from chris..amazing work once agian chris..

the first is the 350Z..lowered the front, added a little lip to the front spoiler, and theres also a GT spoiler on it, but i removed it for painting..
the rear bumper was a little high for my tastes, so i modfied it, and added a rear skirt to the bumper to make the rear lower...

wat do u guys think so far?
colour suggestions anyone??
:D

What is this creamy stuff on the car? half of it is creamy and half of it is grey?!? sorry i am new to this
anyway, for s2k, make it yellow, black hood, black OZ rimz, or some spoon rimz. amm some stickers :flash:

So far! I've also ordered that 350 kit from Chris as well as the 180SX kit. I think yours will look great when finished! I would like to suggest a yellow for the 350 and a metallic beige for the S2K (to compliment the wheel color) :cool:

the creamy stuff is putty that i sanded out... used it to fill in lines or when my exacto skipped the panel line when i was cutting the bumpers out...(scary times) hehe :bloated:

i think he means the RESIN body kit
RESIN is a type of hard plastic. Thats jsut how it looks. Its unpainted
.

Nice work! I'm eagerly awaiting the final results!;)

Please do keep us posted. Looks great so far! I like your 'even further' mods. :)

Well, both models look really promising, keep us posted plz ! and good luck on the paintjobs ;-)

thanks for all ur comments guys...

i'm trying to paint the s2000 with that new light blue honda colour..any idea where i can find it? I rather not use automotive paint, stuff always needs so much work sanding the orange peel outta em...:(

Looks like its coming along great.Feep us posted.

anyone know where i can purchase kamelon paint?
in spray cans preferably? I am located in Toronto Canada.....

ive tried that duplicolor mistify stuff...the only colours i can find from them on the stores are red/blue and green/purple, i have both..and they are not THAT amazing....:(

looks like it's going to end up pretty nice. i like the idea of painting the 350 yellow. keep us updated.

I'm a newbie to this forum, and been checking out the cars you guys put together. They look amazing. How do u guys build the kit from scratch? Is it from bits and pieces from other models? The Z looks awesome. Can't wait to see the final product.

today was primer day...damn its cold out..around -8 degrees? hehe..
primer went on fine...jus waiting for it to air out..still deciding on colour tho.....

suggestions? :flash:

im thinking saphire blue metal flake for the s2000?

just a question, was the entire new part of the rear valence that you added made of putty? it almost looks like you reattached part of the original bumper onto the new one! it looks really good though, excellent work!

yup i made the rear valance...not from putty tho, its acutally the bottom part of the orignal Z bumper that i cut out, i jus modified it and cut it to make it look like that...i had to lower the exhuast system for it to go under the arches too took a while...:D

Wow, I thought I was the only one painting my model in the subzero temperature. Its nice to know I'm not the only addicted to modeling

Hey Chris,
I have a question about the kits u sell for the models. Does the parts fit right onto the car or will I need to putty it up?

You won't need putty when fixing the the bodykits, its only really necessary when fixing any imperfections in the resin i.e pin holes, air bubbles etc. Your simply required to remove the existing bumpers and side skirts by cutting through the panel lines, then the replacements will fit in their place with the aid of 'tabs' (see pic below) that glue to the underside of the model. You may find it necessary to glue thin plastic sheet along the lines you cut in order to replace the plastic thats removed in the cutting process.

Looks great.

So how much is Chris paying you to show off his body kits and make us want them. Because it is working :finger: .

orbi you here?:D

My opinion/advice....

Use putty and mould/blend in the side skirts on the 350Z. I'd also cut out and shave down the thing in the middle of the front grill. And put in a bit radiator with "NISMO" lettering stenciled on. (Think Fluididyne).

That's just my taste though...everything else looks good.



On the S2000, I really like the Mugen rims, but I think the ride height is too high. I'd cut it down about 2-3mms.


Too each his own, they're lookin good nonetheless.

My color suggestions.....


On the Z, a bright/cherry red, with a medium-tan interior with gloss-coat.


On the S2K, I dunno. Try something "different". Metallic Orange Mica, maybe. (not the Honda Imola Orange) But more of a lighter, brighter, more metalic color. Or, you could go with the "sleeper" look of Gunmetal, which would go well with those Mugen rims.
