Another fat skyline...

[7th_skyline]

Just started messing around with it as a diversion from my Hakosuka project...
Its a HR31 GTS-R, I'm working on replicating some bodykit parts from http://www.r31house.co.jp , and some inspiration from the 7th Meister crew http://cwaweb.bai.ne.jp/~kgc10/index.htm

R31house skirts, front bar:


Maejima's car, from 7th_Meister :



Mine:




I am going for the R31house front bar and skirts, ZG style flares like the 7th Meister cars, and I'm not sure on the rear bar yet - may be R31house style but I want to build in a CF diffuser, theres another style called "racing silhouette" which I like (haven't got a pic for you though).
Also may just have a Nismo GT-R "drag lip" instead of the monster GT-wing.
Wheels are Fujimi O.Z. Lamborghini wheels (345s).

Apart from that, it will be basically box stock.
I've been itching to use those wheels and I thought an outlandish widebody on an 80's car would be the go.

goodluck

Nice i like old school skylines, looks to be a promising build, what company makes (made) this kit?

Looks like a great start, can't wait to see more progress.

I feel bad posting without any more progress on it....
Anyway, theres probably a tutorial somewhere, but basically I carve the wheelarches a little higher into the body, then add a strip of styrene as the bottom of the flare, and cut styrene sheet into an arch to glue flat on the side of the body which I build putty up to - it gives an "edge" for the back of the flare. A little hard to explain.

If you can find Kunta's hakosuka buildup thread, he has a great sequence of his method for building the flares up.

Wow sounds like a long process. but it turned out really good! i bought styrene but when it is bent or folded it breaks! but anyway this model is looking really good. i neva seen a R31 this good so keep up the good work!
