Nice to see different wheels on a skyline than the stock ones.

I guess I'd say your doing good so far. :wink:

Looking nice man, looks exactly the same as mine right now but just with the SAS hood on it, Whut color are u painting it? U should check out my thread too, im also building the same thing. NIce rims too.

Ooo, it makes me heart swell with pride when I see you guys working on my kits:biggrin: I'm looking forward to seeing your versions of this kit the most as i regard it as my best work to date.

To get back to the originator of this thread

Good start Thizishkenny what colour ? This car looks great even in its unpainted state dont you think ? keep postin :smile:

:iagree:
thizishkenny, lookin' real cool mate, great choice of wheels, they do suit it very well.:cool: Any idea on colour yet ?:smile:
Shorty4859 and Chris, that's 3 C-West's on the way, wow:cool:
Chris, I fear you'll end up with a headache, mine is slowly progressing,
I'll start a thread soon:smile:

Keep us posted Kenny

cheers stump:aus:

Yeah thanks for the comments. I want to try to paint the car candy red to make it look different from others.

Very nice! can't wait to start my SAS C-west skyline! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Still looking for good rims!:frown:

Damn you stole my idea :thefinger j/k. Nah in all honesty AVS Model 5's are the best rim for an R34 GTR. The one I plan to build will be black and I will try to paint the rims a dark gold/bronze colour. Anyways yours is looking schweet so far. Keep up the good work.

well here is some more progress on the car. All I did is primered it and shaved the wholes in the back and the whole in the front. I will primer this again tommorow. And sorry if the pics are blurry

Looking good, looking good. :sunglasse

:bigthumb: Lookin great kenny.

I have a question to ask, after painting do you polish and then put the emblems on or u put emblems on then polish. Or is it a different step??

I always polish, then put them on. Looking good so far though.

Keep that skyline wingless!!!

the paint might give a very smooth look so you might not want to put the spoiler on in the end. looks very good so far, you're obviously a very patient modeller.

lookin good :sunglasse Nice color, it will look fast. Where in michigan are you from? I'm from Saginaw.

Any new progress?? This is good stuff.

Here you guys go. This might be a shocker because i wasnt gonna keep the silver leaf. But now i dont like this color because that is not the color i thought it was gonna turn out to be.

That looks sweet. :grinyes:

Damn that is the best looking skyline i saw on here!!!!!!!! :iceslolan :iceslolan

What company is that candy paint from?????testors?????

*EDIT* is it me or did it go wrong with painting on the front?????

Yeah the hoood looks a little darker but newayz, still a good job! Youu guyz should check out my thread too, i'm building an r34 but without the SAS kit.

THanks for the comments but what do u think of the wheels??

The whole thing looks killer!! :sunglasse :sunglasse :sunglasse
