New Contest Entry: R32 Skyline ~Soon 56k Beware~

I decided to make this r32 my Weapon of Choice for this contest, I haven't won any contest for die casts yet, so i guess this online one will probally be my start...

I've had other contest entries, but they all were MotorMax, a very toyish Die cast company.. So i decide to go with Jada more detail from my previous
Heres the previous contest entry to see what i mean...

What i have planned for the 1st process of bodywork is the Front R32 kit. Its pretty sad that im going to grind the crap out of the stock front bumper, but in the end, should be well wroth it :grinyes:

Unlike my previous Projects (about 1000,000 of them) I'll Stay on top of things, now that i got some personal issues out the way...

Looks much better than that other model!

hehe, whats the future plan bro?
all the best...

Much better then the other one. What do you got planned for the front bumper? Any 1:1 bumper you are modeling it after, or are you just going to combine a bunch of pieces from a few different bumpers?

looks promising, ill have to keep lokoing, have a look at www.briansmodelcars.com it is for styrene models but there is a kick ass tutorial on making your own intercoolers that is really worthwhile looking at. There are also tuts. on stuff like homemade sports teering wheels.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've seen that site/Tut many times. Also, Jay@Af has a pretty nice tut as well.

looking really good, are you going to paint that rim lol it looks awesome, and the drift kid will look really good, i was thinking about doing a rear kit on my fc, and maybe do something with the wing. :iceslolan

Heres what one of my other Exterior Designs i may go for...

Nice suggestions garret, I really like #2 the flared veilside.

Okay, my brainstorm is comming to an end, I have an idea of what im going to do. These are the last set of before pictures I will take.

*Exterior will have a Full bodykit (5 Peiced, Mix combination).

*Interior will be Two Tone.

*Paint will be Midnight Marine Pearl blue.

*Wheels will be by Peagasus, Deep dished two toned also.

*Engine will be Detailed, outfited with CF/chrome.

It will also have alot of little goodies that i wont explain here.m This r32 will have a few Silvia modifications.


Now its just getting started.

Im feeling #1 the best.

#1 looks alot nicer, no graphics. Not too hot on the wing though.

Those are all GTS-t's, are you going to cover up the front grill to make the bonnet seem like it was from a GTS-t...I like the Second one way better, with those Fabulous Profound rims and that body kit :cwm27: Good luck braking through that diecast front bumper. :lol2: ouch!

Yea, im going to do a GTS-T hood, and get rid of the gill. The second one look nice, but i dunno, ill see how much epoxy i have. If im limited i may just do #2.

So, got any progress pictures for us? I demand pictures IS!
Probally next week, Had a little trouble getting the supplies.

Not much, slowly getting there..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v230/KonArtist/HPIM1016.jpg

why are you adding on to the hood? takes away the fact that its a GT-R. your turning it into a GTS!

Cause its what i like. No im just adding the gts hood.

oh yeah.. drift style coming along nicely!!
where you get a fab profound rimm?? :confuse:

I like the Gts hoods better. Get some bigger rims and make it like that
silver one !

got some bodywork started. Do you think these wheels sute it well? (no rubbers on yet) Or to big?
