This is my first coat of paint. It is mixed from tamiya metallic blue, flat yellow, clear blue, and gunze clear yellow. Im going to paint the hood black with carbon fiber effect so i just left it mostly primer for now.
thx for looking

your pics don't work :(

Good Lord, that is perfect, great job, love the color too!...

Open the links on another window and they show...

thats what i did

thx for thie idea. just worked on one of the three pics but that reaches out, great colour!

Thank you

I shot around 5 layers of tamiya clear an hour after the green(my last post was green without clear). The color seemed to darken a little. Also the metallic flakes didnt show too well...color looks too solid which is too bad....

Nothing special except another mock up.

thx for looking.

Absolutely amazing putty work! Looks like it was made to be a sedan. Just incredible. I'm sure a ton of people here wish you had made a resin copy or two or three before painting it. That's just awesome, great work!! I am just astonished at how right it all looks. 10 of!

Just freakin amazing!!! Get some outdoor pics with better lighting! I want to see more.... :iceslolan Keep up the good work.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!:eek2::eek2:

Magnificent conversion! Now let's see you finish it off.

:iagree: nothing else to say than: GOOD WORK

Today I come with bad news.

http://www.image-hosting.net/images/digital/demo/Picture%20112.jpg

The grey part was once a crack reopened AFTER the paint was dried and i thought i was ready to sand then smooth. One day i was looking at it while taking a break from homework and this appeared.

now i have to wait until this hardened, then sand smooth, repaint, possibly repaint the whole body since the green might become different, masking the paint gives a big chance for them to peel off when removing mask. All these done hopeing cracks don't appear again.
Oh shit.

I felt a little bit destroyed.....

Before that disaster spotted...life was good and i was building this lip spoiler...

Math 31 is tedious these days and it will take me quite some time to get these fixed.

Sorry to hear about the bad news, I love that Mugen lip though! Looks wonderful! Cant wait to see it done. Good Luck! :smile:

Thank you. I really needed that.

It is a spoon sports lip spoiler that i was trying to build as.

Hey, they look almost the same. :rolleyes: Get confused some times.

Bad to hear that. But it turned out really good so far, so don't give up

Man that sucks, how are u goign to solve this, i would go crazy! lol...

just be patient, lol...nice Lip too i like it, love it actually :eek7:

From the very few pics I can see on page#7 I would REALLY love the see the progress shots of it, all I see on the other pages are RED X s.. :eek7:

SLO, I know how you feel...I just spilled some Krazy glue onto the rear panel of my yellow 510....UGGH!
I like those wheels you are using and the front lip too. Will it be body color? Graphite?
Look at it this way, you can still repaint the body since you haven't painted the window frames/pilars, right?
This model is definitely worth the time! I almost forgot that you started with a hatchback:p

Thanks for the courage everyone!

675datsun, the front lip would be painted like the hood, carbon effect. Sorry to hear what happened to your 510. T_T

Calculus/chem 30 unit tests scared the living hell out of me. There is only 4-5 of them within the course so i cant screw up for once. This is one of the things that kept me from working too much on the model nowadays.

However i was still able to do something about the crack. So far the crack is covered up althought some new problems arises. The area now is a little bit recessed but i hope it will be gone after sanding the paint. Hopefully nothing will crack off again.

I will post a few pics of the car when i have time.

thank you.

I will start a new progress thread with the name "custom contest" of this civic soon, a mod may delete this thread.
thank you
