Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

oh my gosh, that is one sweet start ! the brakes and suspension are AWESOME, they almost look real, i mean, they are real close to reality, hehe. the machined suspension i just amazing. man this is gonna be a great and detailed build, as most of your model.

i will sure keep an eye on this one. Good luck.

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Must be nice to have your own lathe and milling machine. Are those run via Cam system?

Machined Brake Master Cylinder



Plastic Handbrake removed and turned piece added



Engine bay in progress



Plastic Oil Filter removed and turned aluminium one added, will be moved later as i'm fitting an oil cooler. Also machine Oil Filler Cap has been added.



ABS Brake with more detail added. (test line fitted only)



Basic Oil Cooler started



Plastic Gear Lever removed and Turned NISMO one added.

I have been work on this non stop most evenings so far.
Most parts need more work and detail added, but you get the idea.
I have ordered some Detail Master Braided lines, which sould be here soon.

Thanks

Re: Progress - 1:12 Skyline R32 GTR

Wow Steve this is really awesome !!! machined parts are nice, they look so good on there. This build will be one of the most detailed kit we've ever got in here if you keep custom building everything like that
