Fujimi Drift Machine

Post some pics of them next to the car. I want to see how it looks. But anyway nice job on the paint(the wheels) and also good job on the model. Keep on posting. :)
Did ya one even better. Here's the Front half completed pics. BTW, No work on skyline, just been mocking up some very cool 1/18th 15'' drag slicks, and if it were a drag car, it'd look to be about a 7second car or so.

Those wheels make a huge improvement on your car.

Thanks. BTW. Tonio, what's your trick with doing panel lines before paint? I've bought 2 pigma micron .20, cause the .25 was too fat to do my panel lines, did them on a 69 camaro (the blue one, my first car on AF). It works well, if there's no dust on the car.

the model looks great. its really coming along nicely, great job so far!

the wheels on your car are sweet!! makes a nice improvement. very nice!!

nice monitor. Nice car most of all!! keep up the
g-reat work

PAINTED!!! FINALLY!! Never thought it'd get there! Well, yes it is very orange peely :banghead: But, I don't care, because, I just put a 22'' chrome 5spoke rim next to the paint, and you can see it's reflection!! I do want it to be cleaned up a bit. Would some abrasive 1800grit sanding cloth and then a coat of wax work? Okay. To the point! I've decided, I love the blue too much to cover the hood, trunk, and wing in graphite, so it'll stay all blued up. I didn't make the mirrors I wanted, so chances are, I'll spray the ones it came with in flat black, and glue them on, after I do the window trim in black, and the panel lines with my pigma micron pen. I appreciate all replies, but if your gonna talk smack about my orange peel paint, just don't reply at all. I know it needs to be fixed, and I intend to use the 1800 grit sanding cloth, and then giving it a coat of wax, hope that'll work.

nice color... but i think you should atleast paint the wing graphite... if not, it's alright since it's your model :)

doesnt look orange peely to me, but that looks really light in color... or is it darker than that in real life? testors met. saphire blue? mine came out about twice as dark... but i did use grey primer... anyways, nice job, and i cant even notice the orange peel :sunglasse

I doubted you at the begining, And said it was ugly, But then it kinda grew onto me and I really like it now, But still I think the wing site a tad to high, My oppinion. But the blue looks awesome, Body kits very clean, I know how hard it is to get styrene to bend just right, Im working on a 93 cobra with a body kit made of styrene and its a PITA. But it looks good now and is that testors paint? if it is, will you be using rubbing compound, IF so. Don't use 3M it will eat through the paint. I really like the scoop on the hood to. Personnaly I think the hood painted flat black would be sweet, along with the wing mounts and sides. Anyways, It turned out alot better then I thought it would, And I'm sorry about what I said about it before.

Josh

Thanks to everyone for there posts. I appreciate all your comments. Sony, the paint is testors sapphire blue metallic, and I used a different brand than testors grey primer, and it's about what you see in the pics, brightness wise.

Josh, your post definetly means the most. I'm very glad that everyone likes it, and that you like it seeing what you said about it before. I'm not sure about the compound. Don't know where to get it and what brand to get. I just planned to do the wing struts, and side mounts in a mat black and maybe do a lil desgin in mat black on the hood scoop, or just the whole thing in matt, dunno yet.
Keep watching, tomorrow it should have all its panel lines, and window rubbers done. I'm still a lil iffy about the rubbers, seeing as this will be the first time I've done them, but I've used 3m blue painters masking tape before and it worked, so mabye it'll come out nice. Thanks again and keep posting your thoughts for all of you who haven't yet.

Loving the blue. Looks really hot. Nice little sparkle in it.

Rims are looking really hot. I'm loving it. hehe

That's really cool. I would say paint the wing graphite!

FINALLY! An update! Bet all of you thought I gave up huh? Well, I didn't! My first completed car of 04'! Well, it's almost done. It needs the following: Custom rim application (gonna change something about the wheels); License plate, intercooler put in, and I think that's about it. So, I know the pics are blurry, I was in abit of a hurry. SO, if you can make them out, enjoy.

WANNA DRIFT?!



BTW, Special Thanks to Tonioseven. If it weren't for him, the car wouldn't have the decals and spicey niss it does now!

oh damn that's hot hot hott... AWESOME build

Thanks. BTW. Tonio, what's your trick with doing panel lines before paint? I've bought 2 pigma micron .20, cause the .25 was too fat to do my panel lines, did them on a 69 camaro (the blue one, my first car on AF). It works well, if there's no dust on the car.
Sometimes I apply them before the first coat of paint depending on the color and how opaque the paint is. Great work on it!! :eek: It was well worth the wait!! :iceslolan :sunglasse

Shibby!, great stuff man, looks deadly, very nice job, i was wondering if you had quit!, you were doing alot to that ITR (which i havent seen a progress thread on yet :disappoin ) but very nice job indeed, hope to see some more pics! :sunglasse

Looks great man! I've been watching and waiting since this car's inception and it was well worth it! The color looks great, and I really like the graphic right along the waistline. Very cool. Can't wait to see clearer (and outside, if ever stops raining) pics of it... It's hot!

Very cool. I'm glad you completed it. BTW, my 4AC can beat yours. I gained HP since my muffler rusted off! :evillol: :lol2:

H-A-W-T!!! I love it!

Thanks guys. I figured, I'd get some replies...not this many! Willimo, soon, more clearer pics, and outdoor shots, if the rain stops that is. Im glad you all like the car, and the stripe along the side of the car, it's not the signal grahpic, but it came with the 94 stealth RT TT I'm building as a present for a freinds b-day, he only gets a b-day every 4years, so I figure I'd give that one to him.

BTW, The wheel's...well, i'm thinking of doing the spokes black, and either leaving the lip grey, or doing it in some brush silver. What are your opinions on that?


Very cool. I'm glad you completed it. BTW, my 4AC can beat yours. I gained HP since my muffler rusted off! :evillol: :lol2:

Hey spoonman.....what are you willing to bet on that? I've got my 2.5'' exhaust piping (cat back, minus the cat :evillol: ) custom bent at meinike and have a performance muffler...yes, mike, if your reading, a rice pipe. 2.5'' in, 3'' out. Also, I saw in FEB. 04 of Super Street, the yellow R32 GTR 8sec 400m drag skyline. Routing to it's twin turbo's were the heat resistant 6'' flexible tubing. the stuff used on air conditioning ducts, can be purchased at home depot...well I bought some 4'', have installed the K&N round filter in the stock housing, and am devising a cool/ram air thing with the piping. So hey, ya wanna laff at my air condition cold air piping, go ahead. Cause I know, the stuff works. you can really feel it when you lay into the pedal @60mph.

haha..hopefully this will do better in next year's AFMOTY, then that ghettofied bel aire. Def. need to paint the rubbers, and chrome trim. Your skills are really improved compared to the models you showed me in SR.

hey...I got one vote. and for whoever voted for it...thanks. Mike, I'll get to doing the trim soon. Just couldn't resist decaling, after I managed to get them to stick on. BTW, the fujimi decals, well, they've been in the water for a day now, still haven't come off the card yet! As I've said, it's not done quite yet. by next week hopefully :)

Thats AMAZING !!! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

thanks..I've made some progress with window rubbers last night. but I don't know where I would put the chrome trim. Mike, whereabouts does the chrome trim go on the body? Also, the spokes are black, and drying. pics tonight...hopefully.

damnit 86sr5 , you and ratdat have thrown down the [R31] gauntlet, my GTS-R is going to have to be pretty f'n special now :mad: :evillol:
