Another fat skyline...

Just started messing around with it as a diversion from my Hakosuka project...
Its a HR31 GTS-R, I'm working on replicating some bodykit parts from http://www.r31house.co.jp , and some inspiration from the 7th Meister crew http://cwaweb.bai.ne.jp/~kgc10/index.htm

I am going for the R31house front bar and skirts, ZG style flares like the 7th Meister cars, and I'm not sure on the rear bar yet - may be R31house style but I want to build in a CF diffuser, theres another style called "racing silhouette" which I like (haven't got a pic for you though).
Also may just have a Nismo GT-R "drag lip" instead of the monster GT-wing.
Wheels are Fujimi O.Z. Lamborghini wheels (345s).

Apart from that, it will be basically box stock.
I've been itching to use those wheels and I thought an outlandish widebody on an 80's car would be the go.

goodluck:)

I LOVE THOSE SKYLINES! can i get a closer pic of those wheels?

Nice i like old school skylines, looks to be a promising build, what company makes (made) this kit?

Looks like a great start, can't wait to see more progress.

thats really nice, hope to see the finishing on that soon, love the rims

your camera's not doing your builds justice.
great idea though.
exciting.

that'd be a great project!

THEY ARE SO KOOL!!!!!!!!!! The model is very kool aswell. how did u do the arches?

I feel bad posting without any more progress on it....
Anyway, theres probably a tutorial somewhere, but basically I carve the wheelarches a little higher into the body, then add a strip of styrene as the bottom of the flare, and cut styrene sheet into an arch to glue flat on the side of the body which I build putty up to - it gives an "edge" for the back of the flare. A little hard to explain.

If you can find Kunta's hakosuka buildup thread, he has a great sequence of his method for building the flares up.

Wow sounds like a long process. but it turned out really good! i bought styrene but when it is bent or folded it breaks! but anyway this model is looking really good. i neva seen a R31 this good so keep up the good work! :grinyes:
