WIP Widebody R32 Skyline

Is been a while since I last post my project here, here comes my R32 Skyline, this model has been sitting in my model junk yart for nearly 2 yrs (Plan to scratchbuild some body kit 2 yrs ago, but I screw it up due to the lack of skill)

Saw this pic the other day, and though I could resurrect the model by to build something similar :)

That's one heck of a body kit. Keep up the good work!

A little more update for the progress tonight. Craft the front bumper and the sideskirts. The photos are bit dark hope everyone don't mind

I really hope you don't put those bling rims on there. Makes it looks really toyish! Nice body work though.

You seem to be doing a great job. However, I don't think the body kit should be so tall. I know you are building what you want to see, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Keep up the great work, I'll check in from time to time to see the progress.

What is the putty you are using other than the Tamiya basic putty? It is the clear looking brown stuff. Is that Milliput?

The clean looking brown stuff is call "Plasti Bond"
It is something similar to the Tamiya Polyester Putty(Putty + catalyst), but is much cheaper. I got them from a hardware shop cost me $10Au for 150g.

Hardering time for this putty is around 10 min. The best time to craft is when it is about to dry. :P

interesting build, that European style is just crazy. lol

Are those the rims from the F&F3 350z kit? They scale of at 24-26". Thats a bit big for an R32,
or anything for that matter except lowered trucks :grinyes: IMO
Like the build idea tho, keep it up!

HAHA the European style are bit crazy sometimes

YUP, you are right, they are rims from F&F 350z, didn't realize they are that big until ppl command on it. Would like to put some 20" if i manage to find some ( Is really difficult to find aftermarket rims here in Perth Australia :p )

I scratchbuild this body kit base on this rims, car might be sitting on the ground when I put the 20" on.
