Completed 350z & Current Projects

Well I've just spent 3 hours trying to get onto the net (something about virtual memory) - it's tough at the bottom of the learning curve. !!

Anyhow pictures of my completed 350z attached together with a couple of my current projects.

The 350z and S2000 use the SAS transkits

Hope you like them

Everythings looks sweet, but I must say that the wing on the 350Z looks a little crooked.

Nice, clean work! :)

I think the curve of the boot makes it look that way

Those are really nice, did u get rid of the little air holes in the front bumper of the SAS 350z?

All look great.

Superb!

Interesting mod on the S2k, i like it!

I picked the paint up at a model show over here - I think is was some a guy had left over from a full scale car he was spraying- think it was a custom mix but I really don't know :confused:

Yep its the Aoshima Veilside Combat II VFD3S RX-7 - just got it from HLJ but the the first time had to pay customs charges :mad:

The ride height may be a touch higher when its finished as it hasn't got a chassis in at the moment - still wheres theres a will theres a way

Beautiful work!!!:D I have a set of those RE Amemiya wheels on order, I can see they are worth the $$:)

Awesome job on the 350Z, those deep dish rims look the dogs bollocks :)
Not sure I like the RX7 but that not you work just the kit.

Great looking Z. The color suits the car, the kit is applied flawlessly, and the drilled rotors look realistic.

Beatiful Z.

I should have done the mod you did with the front bumper of the Z. :(

Looks awesome.

Z looks great, should'ev had some 19's though :D but it's still sweet. I wanna see the RX-7 and the S2000!!! :)

Doesn't bother me! I think i prefer it and had thought about maybe doing a racing version like that, won't get around to it. I infact sold a couple of the kits like that when the first mold came to the end of its life. The wear and tear had caused the bits of rubber break off that go inside the two intakes, I know Vric had one and wasn't sure if you were the other when i saw your Z.

I must admit I was a bit disappointed with it - the real car on the box looks much better - the back end is just weird but I'll have to see what I can do with it

Andy

While we're on the subject of weird - what do you think of Estima in a DUB stylee ?

Comments welcome (I can take the abuse !)

Andy

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I LIKE I LIKE!!!
the S2000 is looking good alraedy!!! ><!!! can't wait!

that z is pretty cool!

You defineitely have skills! I love your ideas and of course I love the lip on the S2K also.;) Love your scratch building skills.

I like Estimas, and that one looks great!

i see a few honda accord parts on there - the wing on the 350 and the brake vent on the s2000.

Progress has been slow as (and I'm sure this is a common problem) I've got too many models on the go at the same time.I've managed finish the bodywork & sprayed up the S2000 today - the results are attached - the colour is Rover Tahiti Blue pearlescent although hard to tell from the photo.
Not much left to do except clear lacquer the body, polish it out, spray all the satin black trim, paint the interior, spray the wheels, build the suspension etc, etc. (j/k):D
Anyway just thought I'd post this to prove I haven't forgotten it.
more to follow (eventually).

Thats really nice, you should leave the rims white it has a nice look to it

Yes I was the lucky first one to have this front.. IMO it look better like that.. Thanks again Fly

that 350Z is BANGIN!

350Z's color looks sweet. and other stuff also seems to be going well.
keep up the great job!

Hi Andy,

actually my 1:1 car is also painted in rover tahita mica. I have the same problem when using the paint on my models as it is coming out too dark. It's suppose to be a lighter blue but not as light as mica blue ts-50 from tamiya. Good job on the kit though!

Didn't mean to hijack your thread or anything andy, just wanted to show everyone the color of the paint.

I think your right now that I look at it a second time. Excuse me from this visual error, Still looks great :D

Is'nt there a law against modifying a modifiers modified part?

only joking!

looks great.


:bandit:

Not much of an update but I've polished out the clearcoat on the s2k and the results are attached :cool:
Cheers
Andy

A bit more progress on the S2k - pictures attached

The blue in the interior needs a 2nd coat as it's Humbrol super enamel which doesn't live up to it's name.
Cheers
Andy:comprage1

NICE and CLEAN!!

:bigthumb:

sweet Z! i like the color

A bit more progress on the S2K over the weekend - I've finished the interior - nearly there only the suspension etc to go. BTW I'm thinking of not putting a rear wing on it :22yikes:

Don't put it. :biggrin:

I didn't. :killbarne

Aah the joys of being on holiday ! - been playing around with the RX7 - still a lot of work to do - what do you think of the general look of the thing ?:bigthumb: :confused:

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/274891rx002.jpg

Ah, very interesting! Love the look of the front end, not too sure about the rear but i will save judgement til its complete.

BTW, I may just have to pinch your idea:wink: I have a Del Sol collecting dust and the ITR front will match upto it perfectly - a future project i think!

I guess it looks pretty cool.

Why don't you make another thread?

Why don't you try putting that ITR front end on a supra.

You could have a blitz supra. :wink:
