Completed: Skyline 350GT

Yeah! i finished something. This was the first kit i worked on after Katrina. It was built in 3 weeks OOB with minimal tools and supplies. Very fast build for me :smile: . I should try simplifing my builds more often. This has actually been done for a few weeks now but my camera was MIA from the move. Enjoy!

What is the result of spraying the Mica Blue over Gun Metal??

SEE YOU

What is the result of spraying the Mica Blue over Gun Metal??



It darkens the blue and adds more depth. Before i got an airbrush i got bored of Tamiya TS can colors so i began experimenting with base coat colors. the base color can change the top color alot. for example: for Ferraris i use different base colors for different year Ferraris. Paints over the years have gotten better and colors are much more vibrant then they were in the 60's etc.... so for older Ferraris ill use a gray, pink or orange base coat to darken and take away some of the red. for newer Ferraris i will use a yellow base coat to make the red really scream.

different silvers are great base coat for semi-transparent colors such as Mica Blue and Red. It can add depth and lighten or darken the color.

Mmmm, very interesting. IS there any tutorial for base colors or something??

Does tamiya make this model?sorry to ask...Anyways....nice paint job...very nice color.. :lol2:

This car is lookin good in this colour, and nice clean build!

No, Tamiya didn't. Very sad but..

Great job on the OOB kit. I have been trying to stick to a stock build so I can get some more models done but I have not been able to stick to it yet.

That's a great paint job!

Very sharp! That blue finish suits it well.
