Another fat skyline...
Just started messing around with it as a diversion from my Hakosuka project...
Its a HR31 GTS-R, I'm working on replicating some bodykit parts from http://www.r31house.co.jp , and some inspiration from the 7th Meister crew http://cwaweb.bai.ne.jp/~kgc10/index.htm R31house skirts, front bar:  Maejima's car, from 7th_Meister :  Mine:   I am going for the R31house front bar and skirts, ZG style flares like the 7th Meister cars, and I'm not sure on the rear bar yet - may be R31house style but I want to build in a CF diffuser, theres another style called "racing silhouette" which I like (haven't got a pic for you though). Also may just have a Nismo GT-R "drag lip" instead of the monster GT-wing. Wheels are Fujimi O.Z. Lamborghini wheels (345s). Apart from that, it will be basically box stock. I've been itching to use those wheels and I thought an outlandish widebody on an 80's car would be the go.

Anyway, theres probably a tutorial somewhere, but basically I carve the wheelarches a little higher into the body, then add a strip of styrene as the bottom of the flare, and cut styrene sheet into an arch to glue flat on the side of the body which I build putty up to - it gives an "edge" for the back of the flare. A little hard to explain. If you can find Kunta's hakosuka buildup thread, he has a great sequence of his method for building the flares up.

Re: Another fat skyline...
Wow sounds like a long process. but it turned out really good! i bought styrene but when it is bent or folded it breaks! but anyway this model is looking really good. i neva seen a R31 this good so keep up the good work!
