Do Luck skyline R34

well i thought that seeing as no one has made one of these gorgeous bodykits that i might have to be the first to complete one.
I love the sheer agressivness that this kit has, its quite frightening compared to a lot of kits out there.

As you can see i have started on the front bumper, i have removed all the not needed parts from the standard bumper and sketched what i need to cut from styrene.

Cant wait to get it finished. do luck side skirts are next on the list, these will be based on the standard skits by the look of things.

more pics as soon as i have done more

SAS is saving you the trouble Chris;) Not too long now!

Take your time with it, and it'll look great.
I'm lazy, I'll wait for the SAS one.

looks sweet cant wait to see it done

woho!!! nice mod!

Looking nice to far. Very agressive kit. Keep it up! :iceslolan

Frightening. I like it

SAS is saving you the trouble Chris;) Not too long now!


nah, think i will do myself a propper home built one! :smokin:

if i need to make more i will buy a few, but for now im gonna make my own, will be fun.

plus then i get the honour of the first one built. :evillol:

Hiroboy - thanks, im realy gonna break this one down and take each piece, have a week off next week to build it up.

And i have a good man making me up the decals to go with it. :sunglasse

thats awesome, i cant wait to see more progress

well i am glad this kit is being well recieved!

here is my progress so far, have made up side air intakes (two small pieces in pic) and am devising a way if making them work!

When i have the main pieces done in styrene i will start the putty work for the front centre piece.

hope you like it so far

It's going to look great when it's finished. Good Luck !!

sweeeet, cant wait till its done

getting good shape. mold it and make them in resin/plastic for me!!!!

cheers, am adding some more of the plastic parts to the bumper now, hope to be getting close to finishing this by the end of the week

Looks great.

ok, front bumper now stands at 60% completed. 80% of parts made tho.
waiting for glue to dry etc before fitting.
more photos tomorrow.

this certainly is turning out to be quite rewarding

Looking good Chris. How many projects do you have going right now? The Celica, finishing the RX-7, and this? Finally I can see a body kit built step by step, with using mostly styrene.

Keep us updated with this and the Celica!

Cool chris! I just thought that when SAS was doing it, they were making that purple looking one I saw in Super street. Guess not. Cant wait to see more of this being built. You do great work.

well at present i have as follows on the go:-

Celica
GS430
Skyline
FTO
RX7

need them all to keep me going.

As for the bumper here we go, i have applied puttly and am wait for it to fully dry before shaping it.
I think its coming along ok at the mo.

Also im glad people are enjoying the step by step photos, i would love to take the mystery away from them, so that more people create them.

We all need to share what we know

http://chris.nwwo.com/store/doluck%203%20(1).jpg

looks nice! :smokin:

well here is a little more progress, now i have to wait for the putty to dry so i can create the ridges as per the do luck kit.
Sides are nearly none, just the blending needed to get them nice and tight to the sides.

But its all going to plan so far, just taking my time

http://chris.nwwo.com/store/doluck%204.jpg

http://chris.nwwo.com/store/doluck%204%20(1).jpg

also just started on the side skirts, again wait for putty to dry

looking cool!!

well here is the latest progress, damn putty is taking forever to dry (well i did mix it wetter than normal!).
all the plastic work is done here, so now it can be blended in. might leave it till tomorrow to start the sanding.

but i think this is the first official doluck R34 front bumper in 1:24 scale.
yay. lol. (completed, anyway)

sweet awsome work!

cheers dude,

more progress photos soon, havegot 40% of the shaping and sanding done now. its realy coming together now

comin good chris

looking good chris!

well sanding/carving some of the more "finer" details is gonna drive me insane!

but its getting there, cant wait to spray some primer over the top so that it all turns into one piece!

its gonna be in blue and as per the Sumopower skyline, sumopower is a tuning shop/importers and the skyline in question has over 1000bhp at present. i believe it just went over the 1100hp not long ago!

that is to die for! love the anime girl on top.

Looks very very good. i myself am a big fan of Do Luck body kits. They are soo unique. Are you going to customize the grill also?

why don't you fly down to singapore and attend our GTR meet during june with your do luck skyline... haha every skyline maniac are invited too....but pay your own.... :iceslolan :iceslolan

will this do ya!

Is there any other better powerplant for R34? LOL, to indicate RB26 on the engine.

http://www.do-luck.co.uk/images/news/drag01.jpg


ya, open a bigger grill for it.

:sunglasse shape on your bumper looking good. Make one more bumper for me, I will buy from you!

danm that car is is just straight out nice!!

Your bumper is looking nice! I'm not patient..if i tried something like that...i wouldnt succeed. Looking good man keep it up.

not only is the do-luck cars a sexy they're freaking fast!

MEAN!!! I Like it...
Like what youngdrifterx said, I too cant build a nice model cuz i like to rush things :lol:

which grill do you mean to open up? as the intercooler intake is the same size as the standard one?
altho the top grill has a lot more shaddow but no larger than the origional. there are still a few details to add tho and its far from perfect yet.
but not bad for two days work (about 4 hours in total)

i have given it a quick slap of paint to show a little more what it will look like when its fiished as its so hard to tell when you just have putty and dfferent coloured plastics here and there!

http://chris.nwwo.com/store/doluck%207%20(2).jpg

still lots of sanding to do tho!

wow! this will be an awsome build cris ;) will have to try something like this in the future :) cant wait to see this masterpiece done :naughty:

Thanks mate, that means a lot to me :iceslolan

:worshippy..... great project!!!.... :bigthumb:

looking better and better!=)

good job chris !!! as a tutorial this tread is wicked

as for the sumo skyline it been at a few run what you brung's ive been to at santer pod. i didnt get a chance 2 run against it but me mate did in hes saxo vts LOL hes eyes nearly poped out when he saw it line up next 2 him LOL guess who won LOL

poor guy drawing that car to race against!!!!!!!!

Perhaps when this thread is finished i might condense it into a how to thread that is a bit shorter.

The same basic principles are involved in all bodykits

yer the skylines a slow slow car the saxo killed it LOL

hahahah, it was the blue led washer jets that added the 700 bhp, lol.

hehehehehehe

Wow, it's coming along very nicely dude.. Glad to see someone doing a
replica of one of my favorite cars of all time :biggrin:

hahahah, it was the blue led washer jets that added the 700 bhp, lol.

nope had he fog lights on (worth at least +500bhp FACT) and VTR attitude turned up to 1 bar

beautiful

r u gonna leave one head light out, like the real car?

am thinking of copying the air intake headlight, not sure how im gonna be able to it! its such a complex piece as its so small!

But i will try at least

If you happen to have the Fujimi Network R32 GT-R lying around you could use the light scoop from there. With some slight modification of course.

unfortunately i dont have that part :mad:

now i want it, lol

get a bit of plastic card cut the right sized hole out. shape it round the round the light with heat, hair drier that sort of thing. then make 4 triangle shapes for the duct. glue on the back of plastic card light.

hard 2 explain but if it goes wrong at least you havent wreck the kit lens
