Newbie....I bring gifts!

Been hanging around here for months....love the site and the killers models! Thought I would add a few pics (didn't think there would be real gifts did ya??) of two of my cars.

These are the first two Tamiyas I purchased and love the quality.....I dont think I'll by another Revell again!!

350z- Great kit to build, but has limited chassis detail and I could not bring myself to do orange seats! :rolleyes:

GTR34- This kit is awesome, I used Pman and Guiddy's as a guide...should finish it in a week or so.

Thanks for the feedback. The rims are stock/unpainted and the body color is Gunmetal from Duplicolor. I left the window trim unpainted, just looked cleaner that way. The car was painted five times total, twice silver, twice black and then gunmetal! CSC works like a charm!!

The nose was lowered slightly....just enough to level it out.

Good to see you have stopped lurking around in the shadows and posted !!!;)
The 350z looks great as do the photos of it.
The R34's looking good to.

Very nice work. Can't wait to see the R34 finnished:sun:

WELCOME:wave:

I really like the colour you used on the 350z, think i will have to use it on mine!

You are into Nissan???
I would love to see the finishing R34..

:wave: Welcome to AF :wave:

Glad you guys like the work....I've come a long way just reading the tips from from this site....THANKS!!!

Forhod- I'm not a huge Nissan fan, but I do love a few of their cars and the roofline on the 350z is too smooth to resist. I have several waiting models that are nonNissan, both Modena 360 and Spyder, Porsche GT3 and a Sard Supra. Even have a B1 Lancer (USAF) that I can't wait to build, I worked on them when I served in the Air Force.

GTR needs a few more days before I can finish it up....I'll post pics when it's done.

Once again thanks for the praise, as someone said in another post, "This has to be friendliest site on the web."
