Another Skyline Project Underway

Thought i'd start another project as i still have another week off work to keep me busy while i wait for the Camaro to dry etc.
Tamiya Skyline V-Spec to be painted in yellow for something different.
Got most bits painted and the underneath painted yellow. Still heaps of detail painting to go yet.
Body is sanded and will be primed later on.
Tryed something different for the interior. Its painted in Tamiya TS-4 German Grey which IMO is a very nice shade of grey
Nothing flash to be done with the kit....just box standard to add to my skyline collection.
More updates will follow later on.

This is after 2 coats...needs one more to finsh it off.

sorry to go off topic Pman but i have to ask, how did u do those panel lines steve? i mean those are perfect panel lines. not too dark, but yet it gives the car the perfect panel line effect.

Mixing yellow with a very small amount of black with 20 parts thinners.

its very refreshing to see panel lines that aren't just pure black....especially on a light coloured car like that...good job:biggrin:

hey pman i was wundering if you have to prime this...

Yes.
The chassis was molded in grey as the yellow would not cover over it very well as it is a very thin kind of paint and is easy to see darker colours though it.
So it was primed in 3 coats of white first then 4 finish coats of yellow.

What happened to the golden rule? :tongue:

Tamiya have sure packed some detail into that chassis molding :eek: Will be looking forward to seeing that given the PMan treatment.

I also did a Yellow one. Lookin good Pman, is that Camel yellow?

Good choice of color.:cool: :bigthumb:
I got a V-spec-II kit today. Undecided about the color yet.

Chrome yellow.
Underneath is almost done and will get a pic up when finished.

Must be something in the lower North Islands water making people want to build Skylines :tongue: I just re-started mine today. Although, it would be a safe bet to say you'll finish yours ALOT faster than I will.

Underneath and interior is almost finished.
Really well detailed kit and goes together well. Disc's have been drilled out for a better look also.
Enjoy.

Astonishing as usual!:bigthumb: Are you going to use the optional wing?

Umm 2 things. 1) What did you use to drill out the brakes? 2) What do you plan to do with the stock chrome wheels, and how many of them would you happen to have?

lookin good, lookin good. now hurry up and finish! :tongue: I can't wait to see it done!

To drill out the disc's i use a pin vice with a 0.5mm (0.019") drill

Body painted today in Tamiya Chrome Yellow (TS47).
Small amount of orange peel on one of the doors that will have to be sanded out. Painted just wouldn't seem to sit right on the door for some reason. So instead of adding more paint it was just given 3 coats and will be sanded out then polished out

how the hell do you do that. your finish is always perfect. I don't want to pet your ego :naughty: , especially if its inflated , but DAMN P-MAN!! :thefinger needless to say.. great job


but your makin us look bad over here :banhim: :wink:

Thanks Steve. Itryed something different as i stuffed up the nice clean line on the front seats. So instead of stripping it all off and starting again, i run my marker pen around the groove between the two colours to clean it up. IMO it turned out OK (SAVED ALOT OF TIME TOO !!!)

Very nice:bigthumb: Can't wait to see this when it's finished!

Man, I can't get over how clean your cars turn out!!!

Interesting interior/exterior colour combo, I must say. Can't wait to see the whole thing put together!!

Do you get the urge to reach out and touch someone when your painting your cars, because your paint jobs are dead sexy. :eek:

Ohhhh, I feel faint...... the crazy reflections of your paint are blinding me...... all I can say is BLING BLING FO' SHIZZLE DIZZLE!!! (you'll have an easier time getting that if you're in America, but your not, dammit, you suck :biggrin2: .........




j/k, we love you all!!!!:tongue:

It's off the hizzle, fo Shizzle, Nizzle!!!!!!

Nice shine :bigthumb: Excellent work as always... Can't wait to see it finished. :biggrin: :biggrin:

In the imortal words of cartman (southpark) the model is "hella cool", lol.

dude keep the work up, i still gotta start on my v spec 2 skyline.

Love the interior too, i need to spend more time on the inside of my models, not just black the windows out all the time, lol. You work is an inspiration, and the reason why i keep trying to do better

Unbeliveable ! He start his a week ago and he's going to have it finish before the one I started 2 month ago !!??

And his better ?? What the ? He's a Alien ? :confused:

Making me angry but want to see more ! Confusing !:comprage1

Looking good. Hey Chris what do you use to black out your windows? I have some black clearcoat that is supposed to be window tint but it never sticks right to the windows.

Looking good....can't wait until the kit is complete.

Hurry it and finish so we may bask in your glory of shinyness.

Your work is always the best.:bigthumb:

Got the body polished and waxed and started a small amount of detail on the body.
Checked for ride height etc.
Just got the windows/lights etc left to paint then it will be done.

Who or what is a Kiwibot? I don't know the origin of this.

I thought P-man is Warren Ma, an Asian, and I thought I saw Warren's photo in the Tamiya magazine.

But then when I looked at the other thread on everyone's mugshots...P-man is Caucasian...I am confused. :bloated:
