Well, I have a term paper that I need to finish up in the next week or so. That means no model for that time. The faster I get it done the faster I can get back to modelling! I'll be sure to let you know when I can get back to working on it.

:o Actually there's been no progress. I've been working on other models: Fujimi Honda ITR, Fujimi 240Z, Tamiya BMW Z3. As soon as I get those done I'll start work on my Skyline again.

The Styrene Sheets that I use are of the same material that the rest of the kit is. It's just regular modelling plastic. Depending on thickness it is easier/harder to cut. It's never that big of a deal.

To all those eagerly awaiting my finish. I never knew so many people would be interested in my work. I'll try to start back as soon as I can.

The Beast rises again!

I resume work on the Skyline this Saturday (hopefully sooner).

Sounds good. I didn't see this thread before, so I'm skiming it though, your spoiler was coming out pretty awesome.

I'm sticking with the old one for now.

But I am planning on completely redoing the interior. It's just going to take all of my free time for a couple months. I have lots of pictures and magazine articles. I'm also going to try to make all the tuner stickers.
