New (First) Project: Skyline R34 V-spec II

[Oddpac87]

After years of admiring cars in general, and recently admiring the work and talent of everyone on these boards, I have decided to take up modeling. I recived my order from TowerHobbies today after school, which consisted of a Tamiya Skyline (R34 V-spec II), 2 kinds of glues, a hobby knife, and tweezers, just the basics, being that I don't have a job yet, and I am currently awaiting, an interview at a local WalGreens (to supply this hobby and hopefully a real car, LOL). Anyway back to the model, I didn't really have time to start today seeing as I had to be at my firehouse and get homework done, but I got done what I could. I plan on buying the SAS bodykit for my skyline, so my first and only project so far was removing the hood, which was surprisingly easy. I don't have a digital camera of my own, but I hope to get some progress pics of it to get on here, once I really start on this tomorrow afternoon. Any and all suggestions are welcome seeing as I don't know what I'm doing, THANX!

P.S. - What engine should I use for this?, I was thinking the Tamiya Skyline R32. Whatcha think?
