Re: Three Skylines Generations Project W.I.P

Some of my builds are on hold for now. Waiting for some new CF decals to come in for my other builds. =D I did start on the Nismo Xanavi R34 JGTC car though.

Re: Three Skylines Generations Project W.I.P

Some updates on the GT-R. What do you guys think of the color and wheels?




Test fitting. (The front bumper hasn't been attached yet, still waiting on my CF decals)

Looks good, reminds me of the Top Secret theme. Which gold did you use to paint this? It's a beautiful colour.

Re: Three Skylines Generations Project W.I.P

^Thanks! I used Tamiya TS-21 Gold. I'm actually trying to create a Top Secret theme car. =] I'm also in the process of transforming it into the Spec V model, which has some CF accents on the car compared to the regular GT-R. *I really hate the look of the Spec V exhaust.

Re: Three Skylines Generations Project W.I.P

Did some work on the brakes and upgraded it for a better look without using PE parts and some exhaust work. I need to work a bit more on the exhaust tips.

Brake work.


The chassis with CF diffuser


Chassis without the CF diffuser (Shame since it'll cover up the exhaust)


Close-up of the exhaust.


What do you guys think so far?

Smooth paint, the smoother the better. If you need to put a decal on a flat color surface you can put down flat clear in the area and put down the decal while the clear is still wet. A decal works best over gloss paint however.

I would becareful with doing that, test a spare decal out first. Decals don't stick to flat colors that well. Like stated before, the smoother the better, also try some decal solvent like microsol and set. Everyone on this forum swears by it, and since trying it i make sure i always have some on hand. What really works for me as well, is a hot wet cloth. Hairdryer is another choice of many modellers. Just don't hold close to the model for too long, give it short bursts of hot air.

As far as the wheels, i would've chosen a different set. They look a little too small for that beast. Color combo is nice. Nice job on the r34 rebuild. From looking at your earlier builds, you have been getting alot better. Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: Three Skylines Generations Project W.I.P

Some of my thoughts are to just apply the decal to a glossy surface then seal it with flat clear. Alternatively, apply the decal to any surface and then seal with flat clear .

I'm also not sure about applying a decal to wet flat coats. I use Tamiya Flat Clear and knowing their Gloss Clear is notoriously hot, I can't imagine the Flat being too different. Not sure where you want to apply the decal to though...either way, I always try to seal them on. That way they're guaraunteed not to fall off.
