thanks for the support yall... um well I list of what I did for the models can tips can be found... IM not sure how to find it anymore, im new the to forum... but I wrote a journal of what I did for the cars... Its under my name so you can look it up... ive only written five posts =D

Man these are the second models ive done and i guess im pretty happy with them... they speak for themselves =D

But to answer some questions... the GTR R32 has a clear hood that you can paint or you can leave alone due to the engine bay detail. I wanted to leave it alone because I am doing a skyline gtr family tree... (R23, R33, R32) So i wanted the first BCNR generation to show its muscles... so I decided to leave the hood clear. I polished the hood btw

The R33 Skyline kit was great to build until you do the body details... the headlight covers don't fit too well.

The "blowjob" haha or paint job is clean and hella real lookin is because of the automotive clear I put on. You can buy this stuff at a local auto shop plcae like pep boys or whatever I think (my uncle got it for me) But its automotive clear, and clear mix (hardener) and then you thin it out with laquor thinner thin enought to be sprayed out with the airbrush. Then to clean up I used a wax pad, and polished... good stuff cuz I don't need to wax, polishing is only to make it shine even more, the clear uniforms the colors already, so no need to wet sand with 20 or teens 000 grit paper at all... the automotive clear does it all for ya in the chemical process. and believe me i did enough test pieces to compare the tamiya clear and real automotive clear.

I got a Bayside Blue R34 skyline comming, and a R34 skyline gtr Vpec II in pearl white... I will keep you posted... thanks for the shouts guys!
