Skyline Zero

This started life as the Fujimi Skyline race car. However I had some difficulties with the decals and then while I was applying the black chrome I managed to pull up the roof decal. :banghead: So, I didn't want to scrap the build and I thought a few days on it. When it hit me. I've wanted to try making my own decals for a while now. This car would be my experiment. After some more thinking. I decided a Rising Sun would look really cool and set about designing it. I also tried a bit of weathering and using a mechanical pencil to do the panel lines. This is the finished result, I'm very happy with it and after a number of years of not being an active builder I finally finished a kit. :grinyes: I also have to work on my miniature photography. I seem to be much better the the 1:1 cars.

japanese old school really rocks! oh yeah

Where did you get the rising sun roof decal? Or is it with that kit? Awsome!

Nice rock chip weathering on the front end! If you are building a number of canadian car (ahem*CALGARY*ahem) this technique would be used ten times more dramatic on each and every one of those cars. The pebbles they put on the roads in winter are crazy!

I made it with photoshop and printed it on decal paper.

Fking great! I LOVE the rising sun naval flag. What a groovy design they had back then.
