WIP: Fujimi '96 nissan 180sx

Been working on it for quite a few days now, been busy with school work. Thought maybe i want to document the process down. This is my 3rd car so far.

Here is what i have done so far. Enjoy!

Custom made exhaust using Pen Refill, hehe. The ones from fujimi were too small...

looking good. paint looks great for a 3rd car!

nice color choice!
maybe you should deep-dish the rims...

Thanks for the comments guys. Deep dish? hmm.. Well, actually, i am going for the street and clean look. Need to replace those stock rims.

Not sure if i am i can afford some of the rims sold in my local model shop though, budget's a little tight haha.

Looking good. Exactly which shade of blue is that? I like seeing people's cheap alternatives for a paint stand :icon16:.

Oh, This is tamiya's TS-51 - Racing Blue.
Hahaha, yup i was looking around the house to find the suitable stand. Anyway, the biscuit box and TOILET ROLL are disposible stuffs.

you should paint the pop up covers with the rest of the body, because it is quite unlikely you will be able to match the paint.

Looks good so far though. I really like the color. infact I just built a 180SX Type-X drag car that is nearly identical in color.
