VH45 240z Project
Been working on this for the past few days, inbetween new product development. This car was featured in Option 2 some time ago and I had to make a model of it. Wasn't interested in developing this into a t/kit so its just a personal project.

So far done most of the bodywork, apart from the front and added walls to engine bay.

Plan to scratchbuild the V8 block and possibly use it with RB26 trans from Ebbro 1/24 R34. Will scratchbuild all other ancillary parts too.

Some more details about the car can be found - HERE






Styrene structure on rear prior to applying putty...







Process of adding door handles...






Made the Volks wheels ages ago, this is the perfect opportunity to finally put them to some use...

Looks excellent so far, nice job with the Dremmel, personally im miles behind when it comes to such advanced work like your doing there.
Nice to see a project from you too.

Quick question for you Chris........do you know if any of the model shops on Deansgate (there's 2) have websites. Thanks, Mike

Now you see why I keep getting on your case about doing some vintage/retro style bodykits and parts for public consumption. This Z is gorgeous!
