dont worry, it looks the best. I like the seat and the coloring. BTW, are the rims Nismo LM-GT ??? can you try to put the body and the chassis together to see how it looks. thanks

note the shell has only had a few light coats of paint

top work Taz:)

looking good!

Sweet:cool:

Looks to be coming along well :cool:

Should have more progress pics tommorow (I'm currently sitting here watching paint dry).


Now I have to try and find this kit so I can make it for myself:(
The only one I can find is the R34 Calsonic.

Great work!

I have had an eye out for it for some time now, wouldn't mind building it myself.

here is an updated pic

All that is left is a good going over with Tamiya compound, application of lights, decals and the rear spoiler.

Haven't decided if it will need a clear coat yet , probably not

Looks great so far!!:D Keep us posted!!:cool:

Looks very good. :D I love the color. :flash:

I don't like how "fake" the rear indicators look when done to the instructions, so I am trying something different.

First bare metal foil was placed over where the indicator is and pressed down firmly trying to get it right into the groove. The BMF was then painted in Tamiyas clear orange. Once this has dried then I will cut around the indicator and hopefully end up with 2 decent looking indicators.

Will take better pictures when if it stops raining tomorrow:(

the way you make the rear indicators impressed me......your skyline looks perfect, dude. :D ;)

is it just me or is the wing sitting funny? it looks awesome overall. good work taz!

Nope it's not just you. I noticed it after seeing this photo so took it off and repositioned it. looks better now.

The rear indicators was a trick I picked up after I f'ed up the decal for the rear tail light on my Boxster. So simple and yet soo effective.

OK here are some finished pics in natural lighting

whatcha think?

stunning! great work, taz! who'd you build it for?

a guy on these forums called "Pandamonium" aka Panda

so in other words...THE PANDA MADE YOU DO IT!! :bloated: :bloated:

Great work but I'm going to put pictures in the "Skyline Meet" thread unless you beat me to it!:devil: :devil: :devil:

ok :D

yup The Panda made me do it!

New sig bar is on its way:D :D

Wow, you finish it fast and nice.
Very nice, thumbs up!~ :thumbup:

Nicely done. Your sig ruined it for me :(. Heh j/k. I havn't been on the forum for a while!

Beautiful. Skylines look so great in blue. :D

Sweet! I didn't know that kit came with an engine, now I have an alternate choice of engines for my Datsun 510.
