So, here's the winner of 2nd place Many thanks to all those who voted for me btw.

The details;

-Tamiya 1/24 kit with my resin bodykit added.
-Painted with Volkswagon Canyon Red pearlescent spray, topped off with clear laquer, both from Halfords.
-Fujimi 18" Blitz 03 rims with the stock 350z tyres.
-Blitz style scratchbuilt intercooler as seen in the 'How-to' thread.
-My etched GT Wing.
-CF on hood and wing are samples of decals i have comissioned (available in about 3 weeks)
-Interior is stock, as per the instructions. I did a little pre-shading on the seats with Tamiya clear orange, the effect is very subtle, certainly not noticeable in the pics but does and realism to them.

Very nice job youve done there Fly.

I gave you a vote (not telling if 1, 2, or 3) just because of the work you put into making it look so unique (until everyone buys the kit that is)

Awesome job, congratulations on your 2nd place finish!

What patterns will you be making the CF available in, just twill weave, or basket weave (like the new Enzo)?

Twill weave to begin with so that it'll be suitable for Hoods etc. Then i'll see what opinions are, if all's well then i'll do Kevlar next then perhpas the basket/spot weave types and go from there.

I cant help you there. I used an Auto 'touch up' paint spray from a UK store called Halfords, you might want to try your local auto store.
