Boring Skyline progress & finished pics...

Hi. I started this a while ago. Sold the wheels that were originally supposed to be on it. I'm having some doubt about it so suggestions are more than welcome. I decided to try to get it finished. here's what I have. Thanks.

If you ask me, it doesn't look boring at all. The color and wheel choice looks great, but since you're looking for suggestions maybe you could paint the wheel centers. Maybe something like gunmetal/black on the front with white on the rears, unless you want to keep it all the same.

Thanks Malcolm! I'm taking all suggestions into consideration!:sunglasse

boring and skyline aren't allowed to be in the same sentence!! don't you know that, clearly written in the skyline owner manual!

great progress, i love the paint and the rims are looking real good!! stick in there, it'll be all good.

Looking good. :sunglasse
Yes, paint the wheel centers in another color.

u could always give the rim lips a different color like on Advan's

paint the wheels centers i did it on my Yakuza Cedric and it looks awsome

Painted Meisters centers are the only way to go....:)

Good job so far T-7.

Very nice body color!

I suggest painting the inside spokes with Tamiya Smoke...will give a nice tone to flow w/ the body :)

looking good so far

Dude- Workmeister's look awesome on that R33!! Nice color choice. Is it sitting at the stock ride height? :) looks really good. Maybe some RED brake calipers?? :) I'm gonna disagree with these guys on the wheels- I think it would be better to play it down on the wheels on this one- paint the center cap (maybe gunmetal?), but not the spokes- the silver finish looks perfect with your body color already. What color interior are you going for?

Theres nothing boring about your builds Tonioseven, the Skyline looks great!!

Heh, thanks guys:) I'll get a picture of the interior later on today hopefully. The paint is from a '99 Pontiac Grand Prix. I am not really into this project but I can't just let it go to waste:p I'll actually try to finish this one for once!!:lol:

Looks sweet so far!

Tonio's building again! Weeee-heeee-heeee! Glad to see you back in action...now wheres that hot rod I told you to build :lol:

Looks like a good start. You should finish this some time this year. Hopefully.

None of your projects are boring Antonio.

Particularly, this one rocks IMO. This shade of brown is seen on most of the new tuning cars this season (in Europe). And it suits the Skyline very much. I would go for a two tone rim too. Gun metal would make it very agressive.

Cool color and nice choice of wheels. :)

How many skylines is this for you now?
You've gotta be catching up to Nismo400R's collection.

Boring?? Not at all! It is great, paint is so smooth!!

Oh my.. You put that smilies in your signature. :lol2:

I like the color/rim choice combo, seems to add to that tough look of the R33, which in turn adds to the realism of the model itself. great work so far! :D

Looks great.If you do anything to the wheels paint the spokes gold.It might be a bit overdone these days but it still looks cool.

Hi. More progress. The steering wheel is from an R-34 25GT Turbo. Wheel centers were painted with Testors Jet Exhaust enamel. Thanks for looking. :smile:

Might be boring, but does look good ! :D

crazy nice!

Boring???? More like freaking Clean!!!!!! R33's don't need stoopid body kits or massive chrome wheels! They already have an aggresive stance.
Nice progress Antonio, I can't wait to see it finished.

oooohh nice color and rims! i love it how it is, but painted centers would look cool to

I wish my models were as boring as yours:icon16: , keep up the good work!

love that color!

nice

Hi. It's finished. I built an intercooler for the front. The headlights look crap to me but I can live with it. Take care and thanks for looking. :smile:

hey tonio , dosen't look boring to me, cool and shiny paint, nice interiour , great color comb. for the seats , and also nice finish , i would be happy if me boring models would look like this !:naughty:

OPTION sticker makes this model special. :sunglasse

Looks great, superb finish as usual.

Nice. What paints did you use? I read about the Jet exhaust enamel, but that's all I seen...

Again, Nice Skyline!

Awesome job!!, that turned out beautiful!

turned out really nice:) I like the placement of the decals and color choice. Great build!

I think the headlights look great. I assume thats BMF? which is what I use for headlights in some cases. One thing that I consider a MUST for the Nissan models I've built, is to outline the edges of the head/tail lights w/ a sharpie or what-have-you. Huge difference!

lights are always fixable if your not satisfied, considering your only using a mild white glue to fasten them to the model you can yank em out anytime. (not that I'm telling you anything you don't already know ;) )

The build you gave that R33 really sets off the likable lines and qualities of that car. Another great build congrats!

You know we love Skylines:) and this one is very tasty.

Nothin' to complain about there Antonio,it came out great.

Beautiful. The usual class !!!

Later, Mike :sunglasse

damn thats nice, i dont see one thing wrong with it

very, very clean! i love boring builds, especially this one!

Color combo is perfect! nice paintjob too. Keep it up.
