Midnight Purple Silvia S15

[Hiroboy]

Painted this body last week with Modelcolourworx Midnight Purple, clear coated 4 times, and spent 5 hours polishing out (Jesus that was hard work to get a shine)

I'll take some photo when the sun is out to try and capture the purple pearl.













I wanted to put Deep Dish Nismo LMGT4 wheels on this build.
Above is the progress for doing it

• Fit the tyre and rim to get the amount to be removed
  Cut Wheel to required width
  Sand up back
  Primer added
  Alclad2 Black Gloss Paint
  Alclad2 Chrome applied
  All Fitted together

Now I need to modify the suspension and brakes to take the Tamiya Male Wheel onto a Aoshima Kit .















It's been finished for a while, but have been waiting to get the photos.
Paint finish is so much better in real life, but took some outside to try to capture it.

Polished it too much and suffering from static attracting too much dust.

Custom made exhaust and wheels turned out to my liking

Great colour, great build. Nothing less than we expect from the (now Global!) HiroBoy. Wheels are a little extreme but I guess that's the point!

The master has done it again! Another masterpiece Steve....
I really love the deep dish wheels well done mate!

The Alclad2 Chrome is great.
But what is the advantage of using Alclad2 Black Gloss Paint?

This is how I modifed the Brakes,

They are the Tamiya Skyline R34 GT-R Nismo Parts

Take a peice of 3.2mm (1/8") Plastruct tube, This has a hole (bore) of just under 2mm which is the same size as the pin on the tamiya wheel.

I cut a small section of Aluminium tubing (K&S) 5/32" round and inset into the suspension unit, the bore of the 5/32" tube is about 3.2mm so they all fit together nice and snug.

I will cut down the plastic tube to length on test assembly to get the wheel base just how I want it.

Hope that make some sorta sense ?
