Progress on 2 projects: Nismo Skyline 350GT and 350Z Track

Have started a couple more Nissans, I just got the Nismo Skyline and my friend just bought a 1:1 Track Edition so that's some inspiration for what was going to be my stock Z...having already built a Nismo.

The Skyline will be basically OOB, I did grind out the lower fascia grilles w/my Dremel, an easy 5 minute job. I'll add mesh and a blocker panel so you can't see the chassis mount. Paint is House of Kolor Majik Blue pearl. It's not clearcoated yet, and the pictures show it a bit lighter than it really is. It's kind of like a "cobalt grape" color, very vivid and looks good w/the Nismo graphics.



The Z car will be 2-toned, the upper body will be black, like the BRE version my friend built. His 1:1 Track will be getting Nismo body package and it's Silverstone Gray will be two-toned w/a black upper as well. So this will be a bit of a test to make sure of the combo...even if the color is different...I had paint left over from my stock Skyline 350GT. So far the LeMans Sunset has been applied, w/o any clear. House of Kolor paints are dead flat until you clearcoat them. I shot the stock rims w/a couple shades of Alclad to make 'em a bit cooler than stock. I'll wait and see what my Aoshima 19's look like on it whenever they arrive. The seats will have some body color as well. Otherwise this will be mostly stock...check out my faux-Nismo grille, I cut out two of the grille bars and painted what was left. Looks pretty good for a free technique.
