Progress.....Impul Skyline 350GT Coupe

Made a start on this today.
Changed the wheels from what was in the kit to OZ Racing wheels and a small lowering job.
Interior has been painted today in a mix of grey's and body assembled waiting for a sand and prime.

nice want to see this one done with the imfamous pman shine.

I don't know Pman, I think those rims are in need of a nice chrome lip. What color are you going to paint the body?

Nice kit this one, a quick build. Good luck with yours.

Yep....not much to this kit so it will be a fairly basic build just to try and get some kits finished :eek7:

Indeed, like Honoturtle says, maybe some chrome lip for the rims. But that's just IMO.
Maybe with the color on it, it I will have to change that opinion...... :icon16:

Nice project, no feelings for wheels. Deep dish would look bit better on this car.

I'm having second thoughts also :screwy:
Painting it at the moment so once its finished i'll have another think

Yea man, some deep dish wheels would make this 350GT look even better:) This looks like an awesome kit;)

Nice start Warren, what colour is it going to be ?

Painted this today with 5 coats of Tamiya Lavender.
Colour is quite hard to get right as its quite thick but is hard to cover on some parts of the body.
It was hard to get the paint to apply around some of the panel lines but this shouldn't be a problem as they should go away once some lines are added.
Paint has a nice deep look to it the more coats you apply .

Smile and wave to the PMan :evillol: :evillol: :evillol:

:lol2:

Thats a very nice paint job! Do you paint with laquer or enamel?

Top drawer paint job as usual Warren, nice camera too ....... !!!

Mike.

love it to see the shine again :)

Hey thats a nice color. I like it when unusual colors are chosen.
I always say when you want to be unique, be different, do thinks that others don't. :grinno:
I can't wait to see the car finished.

Good start! Not sure about the paint, but I´m sure it´ll look great when finished. BTW why are you building these small cars at the moment, what happened to your big bad Camaro-project?!

WoW! Nice color and the shine is spectacular as usual:)

After much speculation I've come to the conclusion that indeed you're whording a secret on your technique of painting.

I'm not the greatest with a rattle can but I'm no slouch. Yet, my coats don't come showroom finish when applied like someone I know.

Don't mind me, Warren. I'm just hatin'. Kidding! I love the finish. sheesh......always envious of your technique.

Incredible shine! Excellent work as always.

Hey,

I like the color. I had a paint problem like that. How it runs away from the panel lines...How can you fix it? Keep up the great work!

Dukeman...the Camaro is on hold for awhile as i wait for a few cans of paint to arrive in store..PS...The camaro in your sig is awesome. I saw the building of it on T.V a few weeks back...love to own that bad boy. :smokin:

blubaja.....I should have used a darker primer instead of the white as this would have stopped the problem.

Simple beauty!

Looking fantastic as always
great job

Attacked this kit again today.
Body got a good rub with compound and a polish. More then happy how this one has turned out.
Played around with different wheel combo's and finally ended up with these.
Interior has been done. No flash colors, just a mix of grey's and black again. Nice, simple and clean.

Show off !!!!!!!!!!!!!

JKG Nice colour :sunglasse

I can see what you mean about the panel lines, but its a really nice build anyway. Chin up!

Got back into trying and finishing this kit of today after getting back from holiday. Spent some time on panel lines and polishing which has helped take away some of the white-ish lines where the paint didn't apply to well around the panel lines.

sweet:) I just found out a trick for that kind of problem! Drain out some paint from the can and lightly airbrush those parts, then go and paint the rest with the spray can:) Worked soo nicely on this dark red Civic I am working on as we speak:)

Great work man!! The paint is perfect!!!

Dig this back out today and made a start again on trying to get it finished.
Windows and lights are next to be painted then a final assemble to finish off

Got the lights in and fitted. Not a great fit and needed to have a small amount sanded out to get the rears to fit. They have been kristal cleared in place so no paint got onto the chrome lens.
Grill and windows completeted.

looks really good!

Oh yeah!!:sunglasse

:1:

Nice work fitting those headlights in! I can't wait to see it finished.

That is looking SWEET!!!! Keep it up bro! I'm not exactly that FOND of purple, but this car changed my attitude about it!!! :thumbsup:

I'm stunned. :eek:
Beautiful work you've accomplished so far, and that really is a fantastic 'deep purple' [insert "Smoke on the Water" riff here] :smile:
Can't wait to see it finished!

Beautiful..

Now, this G35 (Skyline GT350), is this a 1/12th scale???

The paint job it's amazing, looking really good :sunglasse

Small amount of progress from the last week.
Finally finished setting the ride height right and small details finished like mirrors etc which will be added after final polishing of body.
Hopefully be finished soon.

YES! The P-man is still building! 350GT looking awesome still. So shiny. Can't wait to see it finished.

There u are........i was begining to wonder if you'd left us for good mate, the Impul looks fantastic & with that old P-man shine too !!!
Mike :sunglasse

Hey, very nice job on the color! I used the same color about a year ago on a 71 Hemi Cuda and i didnt have as much of a problem with the panel lines cause i used gray primer. Although i did have some gray showing and all i needed to do is add a few coats. Anyways the color is very easy to use and it has no orange peal. Heres mine with no polishing, sanding or compound on it.

I'm always hanging around and viewing the models still....."I just look and not post" :biggrin:

Haven't really had much of a chance to sit down and build as there always seems something else needs doing :disappoin

Woho. Great to see you back Warren, been missing your models lately. That is looking mighty fine to.
