In-progress: For the NSX fans, 2003 JGTC NSX

[NISMO400R]

I can't believe it! I'm building a non skyline model! Actually, this one started by my friend. He gave up this project because the putty was too hard for him. So he gave it to me to finish it up.

His work:
-put the putty on the front fender
-sidestep
-research

My work:
-make the headlight
-remake the front
-modify the rear
-shape up the putty he putted on


Still need more work on the headlight. Only half of the front is "in shape".




I'll make it into the Arta test car version, but no logo.

[Howielong]

No a non skyline. I hope you pimp this non skyline out.

[Veyron]

Is it legal for you to build something other than a Skyline?

[Jay!]

You're just building it so you'll have something for all the Skylines to beat. Is that it?

Any pics of the 1:1 test car? Are we looking forward to an all c/f test mule?

[NISMO400R]

Like this but the front fender, rear in red. Doors, bumper and fron hood in black.


Or this one??

Awesome. Don't worry about it not being a Sklyine, NSX's are just as cool any day. All us Honda fans are no doubt waiting with bated breath to see what kind of mad skill you apply to this machine.

It's JGTC... let's say you're forgiven!!!
The only thing that will change is that now you'll become the NSX Queen too!!!! And add a lot more of virtual lovers!

Lot of work has been done, but even more to come. Keep it on! Sure we'll folow this thread as passionately as we've done for your others before....

[Sigmaman]

Those NSX race cars are very cool.

[CADguy]

I'm sure you'll produce another stunning piece.

The white will help show off the hard work and modifications you'll be doing.

Black seems to hide and mute details.

Lookin' forward to more on this beast.

OH GOD!! What's happened? Your building a honda? WTF?!

No it's cool. I like the mods you've done so far and wish you best of luck on this build.

[Steve Gibbins]

Damm! You beat me to it.

This was going to be my next project after completing the Supra that I am now working on. Doing the same with that-converting a Studio 27 2001 JGTC version to the 2003 spec car, I'll start a progress thread soon on this.

Back to the NSX though, I was planning on building the Mobil 1 Tamiya version and blending in some parts from one of Fujimi's updated kits e.g. headlights, front bumper, rear lights.

One question: does the Tamiya version have a large square cut out in the back window for the air scoop?

I shall be watching your progress with much interest on this one. Good Luck

Steve

Awesome! i bet this will be incredible too! Your making me want to do a JGTC car, but nah that will be in the future. Im still a NEWBIE to this. Keep up the great work and please keep us posted.

[Gainsbourg]

Nice to see you back with a new project Nismo.
After following your excellent work in the Xavani I don’t expect nothing else that another great build. Good work.

You need to keep adding putty. It doesnt look like a Skyline yet.

Well, I guess it doesnt have to. You could call it a customized Skyline. I'm expecting another great detailed build here!
