Stalled Project: Honda NSX
Sorry, guys. I just need to vent.
I explained before about how I screwed up the paint job on the body of my NSX, and how I subsequently stripped all the paint to start over. So far I put one thin coat of primer on, and have stalled out completely.  It's so hard to motivate myself to continue right now. I want to work on it, but I just have a block against it.I changed my screen saver tonight. Instead of scrolling thru all the pics of cars on my computer, I set it to just show me NSXs. Maybe that'll help. Maybe I need some words of encouragement, but I really think I need a good kick in the ass. How 'bout it, guys?  EDIT: NSX is now finished. See pics here.

aww.. don't worry.. we all get those days... this one time i had to take off crapy paint jobs, and the chemical ended up talking part of my hand made putty modifications off as well.. now that's a big kick in the A**  I was so pissed off... but after repainting hmm.. 2-3 times.. it turned out PERFECT  BUT (the key word is)... i made a terrible mistake of giving that model to my (then was) girl friend.. and she ended up crashing the dam thing... now that's a BIGGER kick in the A**here are some pictures of what its' left of my poor Civic...     the worst part is... it's got some missing parts.. so i have to go buy another Civic kit later on if I ever get the patients to restore this poor baby.

Wow.
 At least the NSX hasn't exploded! Sorry. I take it that's the Fujimi SiR kit? Looks remotely salvageable... Where do you get your kits up there? Our poor snowboarder friend can't get an R34 for the life of him. :hehe: and he's in the U.S...

luckly we have a hobby shop opened by a Hong Kong family that imports all sorts of Japanese model kits.. I get a lot of it from there.. it's that or I order my kits from Hobby Japan.
yup.. that "was" the SiR kit.. it took me SOO long to make that body kit for it and i even found some Mugen wheels(from a Prelude Si-VTEC kit by Aioshima) to dress it up...

Jay....we all have those days where we want to throw the model on the floor and jump on it a few hundred times.
If i'm getting really pissed at a model its best just to have a break and do something on the kit you know is easy and you can do well. Or......just have a complete break and leave it for a few days. Go down to your model store and have a look at all the kits that are done by other people. Our model shop here has heaps on display. After looking at them i cant wait to get home and get my kit back out.

I have personally gotte alot better at painting. A ferrari testarossa I just finsihed is perfect, except for a few pieses of dust that got covered, and are no about3 or 4 little bumps in the roof. Too bad.
Do any of you have tips for installing the plastic glass???

:right: If you two really wanted a Skyline, you'd get one of the new 1/12 scale kits Fujimi just released!
That's about as much Skyline as anyone could need!!! :hehe:
