Tamiya R33 Skyline GT-R V-Spec & Fujimi New MR2 SW20 *pics*

I hate my camera. :mad: I need a macro lens... Okay, enough of that... :D

Here's my Blue MR2. A few days after these pics were taken, it exploded. It is now in pieces waiting for repair... :(

...closed top. :D I like the masking guide in the instructions in this kit. You photocopy it then cut out of double-sided tape.

Here's my R33 Skyline GT-R. I can pick out a zillion mistakes on this model myself, no need for you guys to...

A shot of the underside would have been a better idea if there was a bit more contrast... :rolleyes:

And a parting shot of the two together. The Skyline is leading, of course... :angel:

Mine are only 10ml :(

Nice one Jay, we haven't had enough pics of your collection!
MR2 is a nice change too, don't see many about!
I can't see any mistakes on the R33 and I have built one, so don't pull yourself down!
A black wash on the white chassis might give the look you need though, bring out some of that detail!

You are working on a project at the moment aren't you? What is it?

nice work on the headlights for the R33 looks really clean and detailed

Nice Jay....good to see you pics up at last.

I like the Skyline best :D :D

What happen to the MR2 ?? :eek: :eek:

Yeah! What made the thing explode?:eek: :eek:

The Mister Two is the car that was giving me all the trouble with the side mirrors. They fall off when you look at them. And when you don't. :mad:

I reopened the kit to see about drilling mounting holes from the backsides, and at the same time all the windows fell out... :eek: And just for good measure, one of the exhaust pipes is all askew. I don't even remember doing that! :rolleyes:

So, while I have it open, I'll re-do somethings I wish I'd thought of in the first place. Like blocking the view through the side scoops, and touch-up the interior a bit...

It's another nice kit Warren! Fancy doing one to go with the R34?

(see also: my desktop (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?postid=77256#post77256)) :( My older models of other junk are all packed away at my parents' house, so I can't really show them off either.

The top-notch camera work hides most of it. :rolleyes: There's actually a masking mark across the hood. :mad: :( I could probably fix it now, but don't want to risk damaging any of the details...
