S.A.S 350Z (Or at least my interpretation ;)

Ok here goes nothing...

This projects marks the first time I worked with aftermarket transkit (thanks Chris!) and used a lot of putty..

I decide to mold in the separtion lines.. just to go for the sleek look...

two tone, flat black with a mist of grey pearl, with a center console in International blue, mixed with flat grey.. came out ok, close to prototype I guess... The seats are Testors Mango, toned down by flat laquer and transparent black:

O TEACH ME MASTER U SAID U WERE A NEWBIE BUT U AINT AT ALL!

Hahaha.. I suck, but at least I am trying ;)...Coming to this site makes me want to build stuff.. you guys are really AWESOME!

Now after seeing a few of your works I don't believe you are a newbie at all.
So much details and so shiny paint work.

OH NO!!! Dont tell me thats light gunmetal. I painted my car the same color too with the same kit.

HAHAHAHA you are safe! This is Light Gunmetal misted over with dark Gun Metal finished with silver flake poweder :) Light gunmetal is a little lighter. Plus is has a light to dark fade.. the front is a shade or two lighter than the rear.

great interior. guess it will take me years before i can have half your skills.

Looks really nice, how did u make that sub in the back??? Looks so real... Whut about the NOS tanks? Thanx

NOS tanks and decals came from F&F Supra.... (yes I sacraficed them for the better public good ;) )

The Loose sub came from Hopping hydros collection. the JL logo was painted on(and not very straight I might add) using flat white.. just cut a hole in the trunk and dropped the sub in it, epoxy around the opening and viola... sub. :grinno:
:evillol:

Good work!

Thats looking good. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Nice progress, keep the pics coming, cant get enough of this car :lol2:

Looks pretty slick with the molded in facia's.

Also , I love the way you detailed the chassis, great skill.
