Straight from the box with Carbon Bonnet decal and a few other custom decals, and PE Bonnet Catchs, Carbon Fibre Rear Wing

Comments welcome

Very Nice......Where are those wheels from?

Looks :cool:

so sweet...so nicely done...:D :D :D

Very Nice!
I have that kit waiting to be built too.

VERY VERY NICE! The carbon decals are so nice. I say next time somebody buys that same model they need to scan in the carbon fiber decal so everyone can enjoy carbon fiber that is to scale.

Do you have any carbon fiber left over? Do you have a scanner? If you do then can you scan some of the carbon fiber for all of us to print out and use?

That's damn cool!

very nice ;)

Nice Job, you use CF on the Wing! Love it. The rims on the skyline aren't my taste though..

Man is that sweet. The color scheme is cool with the yellow on the interior. I want a skyline so bad, but I must find one with engine detail and my hobby store is taking forever to order one with engine detail plus their prices are entirely to high. Any recomendations on other places to get it?

I've read about people buying a Tamiya R32 (there's an engine) and fit it on the Tamiya R33-34.

Apparently it's the same engine (?).

It involves buying 2 kits but I think it's the cheapest way so far.

Thats a thought plus I would get two versions of the skyline which is always a plus. I am surprised there isn't some kind of after market engine detail kit for the Tamiya Skyline.

Believe me. if an aftermarket skyline engine is coming out, you're better off buying both kits, just look at the price of the Impreza WRC engine from S27...


That's crazy !

HIROBOY,

I really like the way you made the panel lines, did you use a darker shade of yellow?

I was thinking about doing that with my next projects, instead of using black (well on bright colors at least) I was thinking about using a darker shade of the body color.

The effect is right-on, it's subtle but still noticable.

:cool:

Bart

beautiful and love the bonnet pin:D

Thanks for the nice comments guys, you all help to inspire me to make better models.

i was wandering... do those expensive models have working suspentions and steering columns... just wandering.......

Awesome job! I love the colour! BTW whered you get the hood pins? They look dope with the CF bonnet.

Do you have any extra CF bonnet????????????

nice looking R34!

I wondered, what kind of glue did you use to fix the light-covers, they look so clear, almost looking if they haven't been glued at all!
and nicely done model, the good taste is dripping off of it!

Olivier

That’s a real beautiful job Steve.
Great work in the panel lines.

Top notch job Steve. crisp and clean detail. great work!

:eek2: Amazing Skyline. I love it. The spoiler looks very nice. Good job. :D

The skyline took about 25-30 hours I guess, I've been off work ill with a weird virus, but back to work tomorrow so it'll slow down again.
But here is a taste of the next one.

Cool! :eek:

So you like building 350z

That is a very nice color on your next 350Z, what color is it?

Awsome job on the Skyline! How did you apply the carbon fiber decal though? Did you put it on and cut away the excess before it dried??

:eek:

That thing frightens me.

It's beautiful.

yeah dude what colour is that 350Z
and btw nice Skyline!! =)
good work from you as always

looks detailed as hell
very nice work
and where might one find the hood pins?

Great job, I love it!!! :flash:

I used 20 Parts Thinners, 3 Parts Yellow, 1 Part, Flat Black, this gives a yellow/greenish colour but seemed to work well.

ic btw what colour is that 350Z

The PMan is in love :D

When you say 20 parts and 1 part. What measurement is each part exactly......like a full seringe or eyedroper?? what? by the way .......the skyline is incredible i love it

I build the same kit now, but I dont think I can come up to your finish!
Exelent work!!!

A quiesiton, were did you get the CF decals? What maker?
