Building a Unique and Crazy Skyline

You guys probably think im crazy but i really liked the PINK (yes pink) S2000 in 2F2F and i thought it really stuck out and i have never seen one like it like the ones i see driving by my house all the time (which are always blue or white or yellow) so i am now going to make my skyline kit, pictured below, PINK with Custom White Graphics on the outside.And i have already recieved some white rims i plan on using with it.AND ALL OF YOU PROBABLY THINK IM CRAZY, BUT IM REALLY TIRED OF SEEING THOSE BLUE SKYLINES(no offense)

You know what i like your idea. THis is going to be really interesting. I hope to see more progress soon.

i think if done right, this would look siock. any1 ever seen the Yashio Factory cars? pink, and still nasty as all hell :smokin:

and i forgot to mention i will be using Tamiya Pink Spray Paint, i kind of forgot the TS-?? code. and does anybody know where i can get white decals. i would try decal paper on my inkjet but i have herd the results arent a bright white im looking for. or should i just use masking tape and cut out my desgin and paint. ANY SUGGESTIONS FEEL FREE TO POST THEM :feedback:

you can get an assortment of colors of decals from pcmodeler

Sounds cool man. I'll be getting that kit too in like a week. Mines going to be black with black rims and a black interior!
Good luck to you!

MDLD915 Modelers --- Color Decal White By Cartograf

http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?MDLD915

I have several of them, and they are sweety white......thin and easy to apply.

hey joecwlaw, for the Color Decal White By Cartograf decals do you just cut your design out then water-slide it your model and what is the size of the decal decal sheet?

THANX IN ADVANCE

THANX IN ADVANCE

1) the size is 24.5 x 14.5 x 0.1cm.

2) the way I did is to design the graphics I need in photoshop (or any photo software u familiar with), and then print on a normal plain paper. Then I just clip the printed paper to the "white decal" and then cut it following the printed graphics...... :biggrin:

thanks and there only $5 bux, im gunna order some right away. and would it be possible to buy TAMIYA spray online i really wont go to the hobby shop for about a month (tooo long)so if u hav links please send them to me or post them up and make sure they have pink

THANX IN ADVANCE

Can't wait to see some progress soon.

I would do a Pink R34 or any other car, but my dad would deffinately get a bit "Curious", and sit me down for the old "chat" :uhoh:

:greddy2: Why does the movie "American Pie" come into my head? :tongue:

okay guys i really need your help, should i or should i not use PINK FLOCKING for my interior?

I wouldn't carry that theme into the interior also.
don't do ricey interior, make it very specific and functional, do maybe dark dark grey interior with red racing seats. don't do like pink and white leather or something :nono:

but I do like the pink color on the outside should look nice but make sure the car is mean and man enough to back it up.

but that really wouldnt look so good, i mean black or grey interior and pink exterior with white rims? i want bright colors and skylines are pretty much rice cars dont you think?And last but not least i dont want to be like others this is going to be a "UNIQUE" skyline not another on with a dark color interior.

PS: I really like that NSX you made, did you do the custom body work?

skylines are pretty much rice cars dont you think

:shakehead :screwy: wow. I really hope your kidding.

have you ever seen the yashio cars like mentioned before?

I really think you need to do what you like, if you want it to be loud and flamboyant like a show car, thats one thing but skylines are usually built as full-on race cars, be it for the street or the track.

why don't you give me an idea of what your thinking for the interior so far to help us get a better idea what your looking to do.

thanks for the compliment on my NSX, its a raybrig NSX from tamiya not modified really, the rims are tamiya rims from another kit. it was built as a street/track example.

well on the interior i was planning on using pink/white as a color scheme like white side panels with pink detail and the dashboard the same way as for the carpeting, pink flocking or i remembered somebody saying using baking soda and then painting over it, so that would have been my alternative method if i couldn't get my hands on some flocking. as for the seats i was thinking painting the inner part(so if im misexplaining just tell me) pink and the outer part white with pink seat belts.

SORRY IF I MISEXPLAINED ANYTHING JUST TELL ME AND I WILL FIX IT OR SOMETHING

you explain just fine, its just that we both have very different taste. I don't know about the baking soda method so I cannot verify that, but I am interested to find out if that works because the idea sounds pretty cool! if you wanna do pink and white interior go for it, I think it should be something more hardened inside, more racey. take a look at the yashio factory silvias, its all in japanese so what you need to do is copy/click my link then from there, click the 3rd link on the left of the homepage, then click the top pink car (okachan super S15) and scroll through the pics for interior shots. just my opinion. hope that helps you!

I hope you dont mind i was thinking of doing a pink skyline too with this http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?S27DC263

cool project:p

i can really care less if anybody does a pink car, actually it would probably be cool, i mean think about it "Pink Cars Meet",

and has anybody noticed but Tamiya's Pink is really really light and isnt as bright as i expected. i think i might have to buy some automotive paint for this one.

spray a gloss red coat then spray a pink coat over top, it will deepen the pink, if your going to get more paint and airbrush, just throw a little red in with the pink you already have eh?

thats a good idea, but i dont have an airbrush yet :frown: so i'll have to do the red gloss method. And a friend told me use a real dark primer instead of white which i normally use and it would make it a darker shade of PINK

it will, but it will make the pink look a bit dingy, your better off with the red underneath for a better effect. I do this a lot, like when I painted that blue silvia. my top coat was a blue pearl color that was going to be too light for my taste. I wanted to deepen it up to a darker blue pearl. so I sprayed like 4 coats of dark blue underneath, then just shot one coat of the blue pearl paint over top, and it came out pretty cool IMO.

I dont have Tamiya Gloss Red, but i do have Testors 1203 Red, its not gloss but will it do? and will it make any difference that its Testors and an Enamel and the top coat is Tamiya and an Acrylic?

And that Silvia came out real nice, what brand is that?Tamiya?

well, I usually stick with one kind of paint to avoid potential problems. I used testors for the dark blue, then boyds for the pearl coat. but they were both enamels. Im not sure about that one, so I'll leave that for you to search or someone else to answer.

thanks, the silvia is a ALEX S15 by fujimi. swapped a skyline engine into it. since the search function SUCKS I cannot find the thread for you right now. I want my old automotive forums back!!! :crying:

ya the search engine here does suck, but the new AF would just take time gettin used to

Ive tried using baking soda for flocking... i think it looks REALLY good... but the baking soda definetely gets messy, and you waste a lot of it... i definetely reccomend doing it outside. The baking soda particles are really fine so it looks a lot more realistic then the other flocking material that you can buy. definetely go ahead and use baking soda, all you have to do is use normal elmers white glue, and just sprinkle it on, and shake it off later. give it a try youll definetely like it... good luck, your project sounds very interesting.

i just cut open the right door or the drivers side door and i plan on making hinges to open and close.im really good on making hinges so this shouldnt go wrong

i think if done right, this would look siock. any1 ever seen the Yashio Factory cars? pink, and still nasty as all hell :smokin:

oki oki all u guys are right. well i already primered the car and did most of the interior work. i used PINK FUZZY FUR FLOCKING for the interiors and made seat belts. i also made some really cool matching NOS tanks. I painted the car and it came out really bad :banghead: so i threw it in a bucket of brake fluid now i have primered it again and will have its first coat of paint on by 2morrow if you guys can wait that long

AND AGAIN IM SORRY FOR NOT HAVING PICS BUT UPLOAD FEATURE IS DOWN

AND AGAIN IM SORRY FOR NOT HAVING PICS BUT UPLOAD FEATURE IS DOWN

You still can post pictures. As long as you have the pictures on your computer. Look at the bottom where it says manage attachments. click on that. That is what I did. It works fine for me. so no more excuses. ;)

4 pages and not a single picture!!! :banghead: just attach some, like ex-r said.

Get some GOD DAMN pictures... please

Get some GOD DAMN pictures... please

i second that, were tired of reading we want to look

OKI I FINALLY GOT PICS(sorry so late). the NOS tank i made is the one im going with right now because i had a change of plans with the matching NOS TANK i had b4.and the opening door is not yet primered nor painted also i did not put FLOCKING on the seats.again im sorry for not having pics but "ITS BETTER LATE THAN NEVER". next i will have pics of the seat belts and the working door. i will try and get the white graphics on but i dont want to be rushed as it will be ruined.
