Inspired R32 (Yes...another Skyline)

[slk320]

So Hiroboy's refference photos inspired me... especially this one:


so I decided to build my own... well not an exat copy but same color scheme. Never built a gold car before...so...

Here is the preliminary color... both Tamiya, gold and gloss black. body has not been clear coated yet or polished. no details on the headlights or IC...these are just preliminary shots... wheels are Aoshima, 19".



rear wheel, dark titanium metallizer, clear coated..thought it fills up the rear wheel arches rather nicely..



what do you think of the front view?


side view:


rear view, plan on using this spoiler and a aero wing from SAS, Cf of course.



will start on the engine later... but I have some little mods in stored there too..

So now I know why you guys like SKylines so much.. I am catching the fever....

dude, if this one turns out even 3/4 the quality of your other, i'm going to die... looks killer already

[skypie]

Looking Good my man!

Hehehe... i was gonna do the other one (all gold 32) Top Secret But i messed upt the the pin thingies on the side stock vents on the bumper... so i took the other side off...

and this is the result... a generic bumper(i think)...

Love the colour and wheel combo,the R32 in my opinion would have to be the classic of all skylines, i think it has the most agressive front end compared to the rest. this should be a nice build up.

Looks like it going to look killer when done.

[slk320]

Ok, some updates. wheels and engine.

Wheels:


they are 19" Aoshima Koening.. they look killer..

But here is my question for you guys.. which lip do you preffer? The one in the picture (fat flat silver lip) or this one:


Smaller lip, anodized red lip.

here is some assorted engine parts:


here is the engine mock up. Twin NOS runners, fuel rail in the works, most of the plumbing and wiring will also be included:



please comment!

You guys know skylines way more than me, so I am looking forward to your suggestions...

[slk320]
