looks sweet! I really wish I had the stuff to make kits like that, it takes me SOooooooooooooooooooo long to build my kits from scratch, this would cut my modeling time in HALF ( of course I would still have to build a custom original to mold the kit after.)

I love it. This is one of the nicest 350Zs, and there have been a lot built. Very nice work.

I don't see what the big deal is with panel lines. No offense to P-Man, but I don't think it makes the model look very realistic. When you look at a car, you don't notice big black lines. I think if you do them, do them in a darker shade of the body color. I think that would look better than black. Just my oppinion.

no you don't notice BIG BLACK lines, but there ARE black gaps in between the seperate panels on a car. you will NEVER see a car where the paint flows seamlessly throughout the whole car, so panel lines are the best way we have so far to replicate the gaps to make the car look as realistic as possible.
porkchop - good job on the car. the rear wheels stick out a good bit! does the paint have more of a color-flipping element on the back, because i seem to see some hints of yellow in the back bumper that look to be the same color as the resin.

I am debating that..if i can find a grey permanent marker then i will add panel lines..not paint..i dont want to risk destroying the paint job. I like it the way it is right now tho! |

Yes the paint is the color flipping kind in certain light. The yellow u see is the yellow pearl i added..i guess the lighting when i took that shot showed it..its all over the car..and its not resin |

I think the color does not suit the 350Z. But nice kit though.
Some parts seems to have a bit of greyish color. |

whao, that thing is crazy lookin, I like it. BUt if I built it, I would have mixed more blue and silver in the paint, it would'ev gave it more color. But it looks excellent !

I think it's a really light shade of blue and it does'nt show it in the pics. The 2002 mercedes s500 comes in a realy light blue, it probably looks like that does'nt it? I don't know if you've seen the mercedes, but if you have, then you know what I'm talking about. Or does it look like the backround color of this post?????
