Project Street GTR

this model was initally going to look like a firends GTR.

the wheels are the closest match I could find to his wheels and the mirrors are the same (off of the calsonic R32 GTR). The colour was to be gunmetal but the can I picked up from the gunmetal rack was actually Gunship Grey so I now have a Gunship grey GTR.

The wheels stick out a bit much from the guards front and back but I will leave the back as it gives it a street drag look. The fronts may be brought in (but will probably stay sticking out also)



test fit.

How many other people spend a day or two painting an engine farily well detailed and then glue the bonnet (hood) down?


Or is it just me that paints detail you know will never be seen because you know its there?:confused:

I think its just you :D hehehe.....I did it do one model...that was it...was a 1994 Boss stang...now in many parts in a drawer.

UPDATE:

The interior and engine is complete:

Finished pictures will be taken tomorrow in natural light as the flash make it look wrong :(

COOL!!!!!! keep the pics coming hehehehe

well I just had a look at it today under natural light and will NOT be posting any more pics as it will be stripped right back down and re painted in a better color:(

It ended up looking soo dull and boring. Do tamyia do a metallic grey spray can?

It is so dull it doesn't fit in with the rest of my models :(:(:(

Maybe salvage it as a military issue GT-R?

Sorry, man. Hard lesson learned about substituting paint colors! :o Sounds like material for the "hard way" thread. ;)

:p

now I just have to find some CSC over here in NZ:(

Can you find some Easy Off Oven Cleaner? It's a great substitute if you can't find the CSC.

well here it is and I am finally happy with the outcome.

:D

That gunmetal tamyia spray has to be one of the best paits I have ever used. Sprays on easy and evenly.:smoker2:

Are the tires meant to stick out hardcore? That metallic looks pretty sweet, i reckon it'd go nice on like a 40 ford, thats actually built to look like an indestructable tank. Nice lookin skyine!:smoka:

they aren't supposed to stick out that far bit I think it makes it look mean:D

Looks like a hardcore street racer:D

Good to see you got it all finished. Get some good out door pics and add it to the gallery :)

I have to wait for a fine weekend so I can take some pics in "natural" light:rolleyes:
