We have a member here at AF by the name of pcmodeler ; he produces the decals you need for the completion of your project. They are of top quality and I highly recommend them:cool: They are on the Skyline in my signature below.

:eek: Can you say the reference please?

Looking forward to seeing this complete!

what paint do you guys like?
i think metallic blue with creme/sand intriour.

do you have any tips how to make carpet in your car?

thnx

Looking forward to your end project.
Is that a lego person's head you are going to use :confused: :confused:

Who!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

NSW wheels on a GOLF!!! this is going to be killer looking!

No offence, but the wheels seem a tad bit big for the body. I'd suggest removing the bridgestone potenza decals. If the wheels aren't glued together, you could try flipping them for us (put the decals on the inside) to get a better idea.


As for paint, I'd recommend metallic black with white decals. Which would look good with the Potenza decals if you don't want to remove them.

Very nice. I'll have to try that on my test / ridiculously trick car... '49 merc.

Hey, nice idea for the color. Where do you come from, bro?

Looks cool. I agree with the others in removing the potenza decals on the wheels. Also, how do you go about using legos as an exhaust? :confused: :eek:

i leave the tyre-decals on the tyres, black would be an nice 'color' indeed.

i also added a frontlip spoiler from a NSX.

tommorow new pic's

grtz from the netherlands

It looks perfect, keep it up!

Look forward to seeing more of this car and what you come up with. I had fun doing mine. Photo's here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50957&highlight=vr5) if you haven't seen them.

Hi, nice model. I too think the wheels are a little bit big for it but anyways, what color did you use for it (the body)?

Thanks

Looking good so far - the wheels certainly add to the car. Keep us postd on teh progress!

Hi I'm really looking forward to see this model completed.


Bart :)

today i'm going to paint the body, what do i all need?
i have a spraycabin already.
and i want to use tamiya spray (because our hobbie shop only sells tamiya paint)

and i got the nsx in a sale i bought it just for the parts for about 10euros orsomething.

How happy I would be if I had this model to build.
Will keep an eye on this one progress. ;)

Hey another Dutchie here!

Looks great so far.. only the tires seem to be a bit large for the fenders..
For paint you can go to Halfords and look for duplicolor paint, and don't forget to get a nice can of Plastic primer or duplicolor will meld the body. Duplicolor has a nice range of colors and is about the same price as tamiya cans, but has more paint in it so you can spray more.

Stefan

BTW. where in Holland do you live..?

i live in westland near the haque

new pic's !! check the first post of this topic

:) it's looking really good! Keep the update pics coming !

I think the rims and spoilers really suit it !
Shame you had to rape the NSX though, but hey!

Good looking Golf! Ciao
Olivier

I just completed that Mobil 1 NSX...

You do realize there are 2 steering wheels, and 8 disk brakes in the kit, right? So the only things you are stealing from the kit are the fire extinguisher and the rims and tires. If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't mess up the Mobil 1 for a set of rims and tires.

I'm thinking of buying a die-cast from Wal-Mart for some rims and tires. There's a few models that have 2 sets of rims and tires.

I don't know, I just couldn't justify wrecking the Mobil 1 for a set of rims and tires.

I assume the rear wing is the bonus wing that was in the Mobil 1 kit as well? I don't know what I'm going to use mine on. Could have a pretty fun car in the future.

do you have any pic's of your NSX?

and i ripped the NSX kit, because i bought it real cheap and only for the parts, because i don't want to make an NSX.

No pics, no digital camera\scanner.

It's the last model I've done in a pretty long list, but I hadn't been to this site before doing it, so I missed out on the body polishing details. The engine and interior are well detailed, albeit without wiring.

I plan to do a transition model right now, where I'll practice polishing. I'm going to use Future floor wax applied with a soft foam brush. Not sure how well it'll work.

i bought tamiya primer and tamiya micra blue for my golf tonight new pic's

Nice work on the Golf so far. I'm doing a similar thing to mine, except I'm using the wheels from the Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1, as they are a little smaller and suit the car better. I've also widened the arches too.

D[X]P, I wanted a Jetta...so I converted a kit! In fact I'm making the exact car that's in your Avatar. Pics in the future.

so which car r u using for conversion to a jetta?

I have to say, it's looking good! This might have been answered, but what color are you making it?

D[X]P, in answer to your question, I'm using the Fujimi Mk 3 Golf kits. There's a new VR6 version that has come out. It means cutting off the rear and extending it to make it into a saloon.

For the wheels for that particular car (TFATF Jetta), I'm using the Fujimi Yokohama Model 7 wheels. They are unfortunately too small so I'm having to modify them aswell!

new pic's check this topic's first post

Hey, I love the monitor screens at the back of the headrests (I trust that is what they represent!). Are they decals?

the monitor decals came from a revell golf mk1 gti kit, with some crazy mind you can make tft monitors......:flash: :flash:

http://www.chadron.com/banner/images/decalgolf1gti.JPG

:D ingenious decal work you 're doing there

!Olivier

good work nice wheels for the golf :)
i like thoese tvs in the dash and headrests :)

very nice

new pic's check the first post of this topic :flash:

i spraided my body tamiya micra blue it's but not very glossy, i think i buy tamiya glossy to sprai. does somebody have tips about glossy?
thnx

It looks very nice. But could you show us your progress in a new posting instead of editing your first posting like everybody here? If I want to see your progress I have to load all your images and that´s disgusting because I just have ISDN.

update

http://www.chadron.com/banner/images/DSC00417.JPG

i,ve painted the body but i still have to spray gloss on it.
here you have a little impression of the car but stil need to paint
the window lines etc.

Wow, very nice paintjob. I can´t wait to see that boy finished.

i'm respraing the enginehood right now because the paint was a little rough

good to see european cars, I like vw golk ,too. you did a good job!

i'm almost finishd with this kit,

http://www.chadron.com/banner/images/DSC00460.JPG

i sanded the buttom for a more realistic look

http://www.chadron.com/banner/images/DSC00462.JPG

the rims and brembo's

http://www.chadron.com/banner/images/DSC00471.JPG

Your exhaust is unique. ;)

I meant weird. :D

Were you just too lazy to make it look more proper or realistic. :confused:

not to lazy but i like the extreme pipe at the end, but that's mine opinion

Not that different, I don't think it looks bad , it just may even look pretty cool.

The weird thing is that one end is so thin and then the other becomes so fat.

yeah you'r right about that, i think i'm going to use some putty to make it a little more realistic at that point.

I'm new here and couldn't pass up posting about this car.
I am just about to start this kit, how did you lower it and what paint did you use on the chasis??

i did not lowered it because otherwise the NSX rims+tyres wouldn't fit,
but if you wan't to lower it just cur out a part of the spring and glue it together.
the paint for the chassis no paint :D some parts are spraied matt black
