Myogi Style Three-Two GTR

Hey I'm new to AF I already posted my sisters Civic, but anyway.. I am not new to modeling though I had a few crappy modeling attempts when I was five, but since last summer I have finished 12 and have 6 in progress. This model is a Japanese Street-Racer-Esqe Nissan Skyline GTR R32 (Non-V-Spec) Hence the name Myogi Style Three-Two. I have begun spraying the body and will have picks of that soon. It is Tamiya Racing White, but since the body was molded in Graphite (Color not Material) and shot it in gray primer the final color is more of a cream. Enought talk here are some pictures.

The kits stock rims actually are bigger to scale than the real stock rims would be so I decided to stick with them

Racing Tachometer is from the AMT Supra, The Steering wheel is from the Fujimi RX7 RZ, and the HKS Boost Controller is scratch built, as is the boost gage on the steering colum but it is hard to see

The car also has a scratch built muffler with a carbon fiber decal on it

Should I do a roll cage? Also I am thinking about a larger custom exhaust. What do you guys think, Questions, comments, good, or bad would be fantastic. I'll get out those body pictures as soon as possible.

Welcome and nice project so far!!:)

looks cool so far ;)

Looks good so far. Those seats almost look like Porsche seats. I think I might have to get the Supra kit for the seats.

Looks good. The supra seats fit in nicely with the interior. As far as the motor, it would've looked better in my opinion in silver with a blue or red top. But the black does look clean. You're doing great work, and I love the dash. Great job, and keep it up.

86 SR5 I originally painted it red put the paint wouldn't stay put, and the badging filled in, so I smoothed it out and painted it black so it would lokk real sleek and smooth. I'll post body pics in an hour or so. Thanks for the comments

Should the car have a roll cage?

Man. In a day or two ill be showing my supra with a v8. its a customer car i did for a freind of mine with a custom made kit, just strips of styrene for the smooth look. The motor is a 360 chevy with 427 heads, 396 headers, 427 ford manifold dual plane, dodge 318 carbs and intake cleaner. So, you could call it the mut motor, also it has olds 455 valve covers with a 454 ls6 belt assembly. Good luck with your car.

nice work, ill definatly be looking forward to more progress on this one

looks promissing so far

keep us posted

86 SR5 My car is actually the stock body and decals, when it broke I gutted the powertrain, and left if for dead. Then I remembered thet in my gramdma's basement a bunch of extra parts from my uncles model, back when he built them almost all of them were two in ones, so a picked up about 8 or 9 blocks (1-I6, 2-I4, and a handful of V8's) also I grabbed some tires, some rims, headers, pulleys, carbs, intake, etc. Then I got the crazy idea to clear the Supra, (I built it when clear scared me {About 9 months ago}) to seal in the graphics, and it was in my eyes was a great paint job so I stuck to it. The engine is some wierd brand outdoor spraypaint that is copper color. I'll get some picks hopefully by thursday or weekend after next, my parents are separated and we don't have the internet anymore at my moms, but thats where most of my scratbuild modelling happens which sucks. And by the way my engine is also a mutt but since I don't know what kits the engine bits came from all I can say about the motor is that I know the headers are the stock headers from my AMT comaro kit, and the engine has a GM marking on the tranny, and since the supra is way longer than most muscle cars i'll scratchbuild an exhaust

Updates on the Skyline and my sisters "Revell Civic Si Tamiya Blue" will be out either thursday or friday morning, because we will be back with my dad.

good detailing skills, now lets see that body!!!!! good project, welcome

Sorry that I haven't updated in 2 weeks but i found out that the Internet at my moms house where I primarily live works now, and she said i can use the camera so hopefully updates will be much much more often

My mom's camera is very confusing and my internet is ticking me off so will get more picks tomorrow morning when its not a peak time but for now heres whats gone down

Got 17 inch XS Tuning Wheels and sprayed then Tamiya Light Gunmetal
Moved front brakes to rear
Instaled massive XS Drilled Brakes in Front

Here the body is Tmaiya Racing White over Grey Primer over Black Plastic causing a cream like color, BTW I recently purchased this Tamiya Tube at A hobby shop that says Tamiya Compound Rubbing/Polishing Compound, is this that fabled tamiya orange peel fighting magic that you all talk about? If so how do I use it Tamiya Compound Rubbing/Polishing Compound is the only english on the tube

Here are the updates

http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/503/208359DSCN0294.JPG

The XS Tuning Brakes were put on the front and the Stock Front Brakes were moved to the rear, I also added an optima style battery from my F&F Supra, I also added the master cylinder from a Tamiya Supra that I had forgotten to install on the Supra. I replaced the stock unit for several reasons, ine the stock one is a tiny piece of crap, and two I kinda... well...:uhoh: sat on the stock unit. I aslo stripped the paint off the valve cover and will be painting it sone color. Suggestions please,
its hard to see but the springs are green on black dampers, like some of the Tein units.

Better Interior shot, BTW does anyone have a spare shifter mine is MIA

I am running out of room on my gallery what do I do? I am like 70% but I'm plan on posting many more models

http://img7.exs.cx/img7/5249/P1010231.jpg

Can some one tell me what "Compound" is and how and when to use it? BTW the body doesn't look like that anymore. Also I usually use Testors Gloss Cote, but on my sis's Civic we use Testors High Gloss Cote (It was something like that) and that was even shinier, but I have noticed that Tamiya Spray paint is a lot better that Testors is it the same with Clear Coat? Also still no one has said if I should use a roll bar of not

Should I do a "wash" on the body lines, and if so how do I do it properly (I've never done it). Will you guys please answer me on the Tamiya Compound and the clear cote question. I am hold the progress pics hostage until it get some answers!

What It It Going To Take To Get Some More Activity And Some Answers On My Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Tell Me!!!!!!!

Looks good man, srry I dont know about the compound.

Is that the rubbing compound? If so then it helps smooth out your paint job.

I know what compound does but how do I use it? Also how do I do a wash on the body lines?
Thanks for the feed back. BTW since my shifter is gone I'm thing of doing a Paddle Shift transmission

try checking out the faq

what you basically do is put the compound on a soft cloth and work your way on the paint

Let me try and answer on the rubbing compound question. The rubbing compound is used after you have paint the model and clear coat it. It is used to basically rub off the orange peel effect. To use it, you should apply some on a soft cloth, then rubbing it on the body one section at a time. A word of caution though, make sure you don't overdo it because it will eat through the paint.
