First model in 6 years Skyline GTR V-spec

Ok after reading through this forum got me back into modeling know have about 10 to build and I am starting with a Tamiya Skyline GT-R V-spec painted TS-17 Silver and either black or dark grey interior, still waiting for my flocking to arrive :smooch: So here are some pics you can even see part of the spray booth for my apartment does pretty good job about 85 to 90 percent of fumes :screwy:

The chassis and tub primered

That's the same exact one I have :-D. I'll watch you do it first.

P.S.
It'd be easier for viewers if you used the image tag
(http://www.picture.com/pic.jpg**) so that they don't have to look at it from a different window or anything.

Oh sorry took me 12 hours just to get the pictures in this form how do you do the image tag?

Nice, just like my 1:1 car, except mine is blue. I love Skylines, can't wait to see the end product!

Bottom with body color areas painted getting the black and aluminum parts is gonna be hard lots of masking

Also started a new project Ferrari Daytona Spyder from Revell but no pics yet still in sanding and priming stage, will try to get some more pics after bottom is finished and suspension pieces assembled.

That looks really good! Some clear will compliment that gray nicely! I love what you did with the bottom part of the car! What kinda paint is that?

So far everything has been done with Tamiya sprays I don't have an airbrush. But warm them up and they really done spray probably as good as I could get with an airbrush.

Really like the colour. Looking forward to seeing more :)

Looks great so far, love that colour.

Ahhh my favo Skyline :)
This car just has to be painted purple (IMO) as the box art suggests.
Your build looks great so far, good luck with the rest.
Mike.........:sunglasse

Well alot of progress made :) Exterior has wing done and has clear coat applied no pictures yet to wet to handle...

Chassis done, was not getting good results masking so is done by brush not 100% but looks 90% or so and since will not be seen much in display

Wheels with calipers painted red thought they went nice with the silver color

Interior 85% done and floor and shelf flocked, need to clean up a bit and not entirely happy with the black accents but already glued so moving on :grinyes:

WELL THE END CAME TO SOON for my first model in awhile so frustrating :banghead: but decided to just use as a learning experience and improve on my next project a 350Z that had completed about 45% so I will be adding a work in progress soon i was test fitting the chassis of the Skyline to the body and my hand slipped and must not know my own strength lol I broke the front of the chassis the two wheel wells and engine underside detail off:disappoin :disappoin and cracked the front window so may it forever rest in pieces lol well thanks to everyone who commented and sorry to any that where looking forward to seeing it completed sometime down the road I may purchase the kit again but for know the 350Z will be finished....:shakehead

Very clean work.
how did you get that carpet look for the interior?

Thats a shame mate! You can always try to glue the chassis back together and get a replacement glass from Tamiya!
