Hi guys,
Let me start of by saying how impressed I am by the work I have seen on here! For the most part of my time I have been modeling gunpla (gundam plastic models) kits. Recently I have taken an interest in doing more cars and look forward to learning from you all. My current projects are below. The HKS skyline done with Modeler's harnesses. My second project I intend to take the DC5 integra and add the cusco paint scheme as well as fabricate a front spoiler/undertray for it.

welcome, are you using the cusco decals form the silvia on the dc5, or actually hand painting the scheme? thisis kinda of offtopic but maybe u could post a couple of pics of your 2001 jdm evo 7. or pm me with some pics of it? did u import it?

I plan on using the decals from the Silvia, but I do need to fill in gaps with paint as the Integra is taller and not as long. So the side decals won't extend to the bottom of the Integra. Color matching should be lots of fun, LOL.

I did import the Evo 7. It's on the boat as we speak and it will take 2 months or so to go through customs and be certified. Here are pics of it in Japan before it got loaded on the boat. It's a GSR with the titanium turbo. I bought it used, the owner had it custom ordered in this configuration as the titanium turbo is usually found in the RS versions. It's also a limited edition color called Izen grey, which they made only 60 or so. Supposedly this car was the last Izen grey car produced.

Thank you all. Here is the last car model I completed. I finsihed this about 3 months ago. Then I built a few Gundam kits. Before attempting the HKS skyline and Cusco DC5 now. The blue ITR was the first car model I have built in almost 7 years. Have been building Gundam for the most part in that time.

Is that RSX clear blue over TS-17 (or equivalent)? Have you ever driven an RSX? :confused: It looks very familiar....

welcome! :)
very nice Integra. so clean and courteous work. I like it.
... blue metallic paint seems little bit uneven on edge but almost fine.

No, it's TS-50 Blue Mica. I have driven an RSX a few times. I used to own a DC2 ITR and would love a DC5 ITR. Honda just needs to get up off their asses and bring it here!

It looked just like a kit someone else had posted pics of a while back... just wondering if you might have been the same guy... ;)
