I really think you should buy everyone that participates a Do-Luck transkit since none of us will be keeping the model when its done.

Your such a sport Tonio.

Re: Af Gt-r?

The only problem being.... we are changing the kit on the real car.

We have Z-Tune fenders, bumper, and side skirts for the car.We are still undecided on the rear wing...


If anyone needs pictures of the car, they can be found in the media section of the gallery. There are a ton of pictures there.

Re: Af Gt-r?

I missed this thread.... hell ill do it myself. i can do the MRC or the Z-tune kit. when are you going to have pics with the new body kit? I can mask and paint the Livery and i would just need to make decals for the script. Maybe wheels and wing will be needed but its not that hard. graphics are pretty simple. But i guess i would need to send it to Hiroboy for the engine though, thats a little beyond me. is anybody still interested in this?

The photos of the car are here:

However, we will be running the Z-Tune bumper and sideskirts in World Challenge, so the appearance will change a bit, as will the decals and color.

Re: Af Gt-r?

Simple solution could be to make a model of the old one and when the new one is complete make one of that, I'm sure more then one person has a Tamiya R34

Re: Af Gt-r?

Ok heres a really far out idea. It would need Igor's to go along with it but who knows he might. Lets have another contest, everyone that enters does a model of what they would have it look like if it was their car and then the winner gets his paint job on Igors real car... Igor and his staff choose the winner. Ok now I know thats kinda out there but I think it would be kind of cool to see all the differant ideas that everyone comes up with.....

Re: Af Gt-r?

Well if the car is competing in the Speed World Challenge then it starts in March which does'nt leave much time. But good idea but it should be open to the entire forum.... not just modelling. Maybe next year

Oh yeah, let any Af member join in on it if they wish, plus we could start it sometime next month and run the contest untill the end of the year or sometime close to then and then Igor and his guys can pick a winner for next year. This also gives them time to get it ready for the beginning of the season next year...

Re: Af Gt-r?

I was thinking about this too. Right now we are committed to a white car, red inside. Paint is going on next week, HOWEVER,

We still can do decals. etc on the car. Lots of what you see on cars are just decals, just a base color.

We have another suprise too..... but.....everyone will find out soon enough..

Re: Af Gt-r?

I like the idea too. I said we needed to change the graphics design because the design the car was running was associated with Buddy Club (that's what happens when the same person does the graphics... ). People actually came up and asked me about the Buddy Club car I had to tell them it wasn't actually a Buddy Club owned car. Since the car's main sponsor is AutomotiveForums.com and not Buddy Club the racecar needs something original.

I see people saying things about designing something for next year... well this year would be nice... The folks on Project Runway get 30 minutes to sketch up their designs for each challenge. A few days to sketch up a graphics idea for a racecar shouldn't be difficult... Why did I let myself get sucked into that show?
