Tamiya 300ZX Pictures!

Here it is! Rivals my Purple R33 for speed of build!
It is simplified as I don't have the tools to do my usual detail, but I am sure you will agree it still looks great!
The exhausts really set it off! The paint has a pearl effect which is hard to see in the photos, but it does look great!
I have never had to mask so many windows!:rolleyes:

And here is the rear!
The rear suspension wants to a bit lower, but I'll do that when I get home!
You can see $30 of exhaust there!:eek:

You can see my Altona scenery in the background!
When I get time I want to take some shots on the beach! It will be my only chance for a while!

I smell RICE on the exhaust tips !!!!....j/k

Looks fantastic as always Dan.
The height doesnt look to bad.
Nice choice of colour in the end. The darker wheels well look good when you get them on.

The standard pea shooters looked so bad!!!:rolleyes:

These were the only ones the shop had two of! Still, it is an example of the OTT stuff they stick on the cars here! I'll have to give it Ozzie plates!!!;)

Jeeeezus! :eek: I just had a look at your Calsonic R33 too. You are really good!

Fab job as usual. I'm still amazed at how nice you can get the paint.

damn guiddly.....you got some skills man....i just recently checked out your site.......i like the design and the cars are freakin tight man.......can you help me out on something thought........what kind of LED's do you use for the headlights?.....and what's the procedure?......i want to put some LED's on my next model car........thanks in advance.....if you do decide to explain it to me........

Wow, it looks great as always. I didn't think the yellow would look that great, but you have proved me wrong. Good job. It's a nice addition to your collection.

Wow, looks great! How do you guys finish projects so fasts? I'm still working on one I started in early January.

Looks fine as usual!! :) This one has directional wheels, are the backwards on the other side?Originally posted by Max Power

:p

Thanks again guys and gals! (Better call you all that now we have FTO Girl on board!)

I can knock them out quickly here as I am on holiday, and have nothing to do all day except sunbathe and make models! (Though I met a girl on Sunday guys! It may have knocked modelling on the head!:rolleyes: )

Jay, the wheels are left and right handed, so they point the right way on each side!

G-Forces, this was my first attempt with what I call model paint, and the shine is quite soft! I guess because it is a light colour too!

JE123, how could you ever doubt me man! I wanted something really different in colour for the cabinet! I think I have that now! Can't wait to see it in there with the others!

tenzoracerevovii, LauBak did the lights picture for me using Photoshop! No LEDS in volved now mate, welcome to the computer age!

Yep! Looks superb! Photoshop lens effects!

Oh.......darn......that sucks....i thought Lau Bak had put LED's in his cars too.....man.....you gotta admit, that would be pretty cool to put some LED's in your car and make them look lit up.....a future project for one of you pro's?........too extreme for an amateur like me......for now at least........i'll probably "accidently" cut the whole fender off or something

I don't mean to take away from Dan's kit, or Tom's touch-up, but if you want to see real lights, check this out:

Jomnhta's 360 Modena (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t13478.html)

:eek2: <--me

wow.......that was really nice.......but the photoshop ones look really uhh....real.....yea....my friend put some LED's in his hotwheels just to light up the whole thing and i thought it'd be cool to put it on a model car....i also got the idea because i know a company makes street glow type products for r/c cars......hmm.....but let's say i did try it.....i MIGHT have to cut holes rite?.......i know my revell ITR i could just throw them in......but my mugen ITR it's blocked off.......if you were to cut something out of a model car......what would u guys use?.......i tried cutting out some mr2 style side scoops in my revell, and i almost cut my finger off.....:D......so i just covered it in bondo......hehehe.......

Hey, Dan, any chance you'll pop the lid and give us a pic of the interior? :D

Also, did it come with badging to make it a Japan-version Fairlady Z, too?
