Heres my current model..1st gen RX-7

This is an old kit from what i understand, even the box looks old, very nice though, I will post pics as soon as my digi cam is charged..

Heh! Nice stripes!

Which set of taillights does it have? :D

Oh yeah i already bought wheels for it, the stock ones are horrible..:rolleyes:

Has the late 70s style ones..I would prefer the newer ones found on the GSL SE but oh well. I am painting it yellow by the way and those stripes will never make it on the car sorry...:D

HEres the pictures, the paint finally dryed up, This is only the first 10 coats of paints, 10 more will be applied and then 5 of clear coat for that ultra finish..

Another one

Hah, beer.com...nice :D

Looking good. 20 coats of paint plus 5 of clear though? Is that normal or are you just going crazy with the paint? :D

Well those Testors cans are small and i dont think i will use them again, plus i bought 3 cans thinking i would need that much paint and i dont want to waste it :D so i will just applied it to the car.;)

Ah, sounds good :D

I was just shocked because we didn't even use 10 coats of paint when my friend and I painted his dirtbike :D:D

Well i hate to say this but i totally messed up the black trim on the car so i had to improvise, and uhmm it did not come out too well:frog: , However i will proceed as is, I just want to finish this car, i started it a year ago. I learned a few valuavable lessons that will serve me good in the future. :smoker2:

Yeah, sometimes it's better to learn your lesson and move on... That's kinda the category my Skyline falls into... :rolleyes: The next one will be easier, and the next one after that... :D

You should not need that many coats of paint. If you get to many on you will start to loose the fine detail of the model and it well become to heavy looking in paint.
3-4 coats max is more then enough.
