G zilla "pimp" skyline (56k beware)

well here is my pimped out skyline, it has been my most favourite build so dar i think, and will set the trend for many other cars i think.

many thanks to jimbob for the excelent paints and the wheels which without joeclaw could not have happened, and also to hiroboy for the tutorial on fitting axels to tamiya models, and to jonno for the photo chopped skyline that inspired the build.

well the doors were smoothed and so were the front indicators, just wanted to keep it smooth as per the pic. then it was sprayed in a coating of black followed by jimbobs blue to red flip paint. and 5 coats of halfords laquer.
the chasis recieved a and attacking from the dremel to remove the tops of the arches to allow the wheels to sit deep inside.
interior was painted using an airbrush with tamiya buff(xf-57) and deck tan (xf-55),

still got a few more bits to put on lights etc and then this baby is done.

hope u like it

can this be moved please
i presed new thread in the in progress section and its been dumped here

Looks nice man. I really like it.

cheers dude, its my baby and i love her, lol.
that paint realy has to be seen to be believed, it has hundreds more shades than the camera can capture

Even if it didn't get it all, it still looks killer. :iceslolan

Sweeet :evillol: And the name is fitting :grinyes:

Bigg "E"

daaaaaaymm that this is just G'd up from da feet up :pimp:... nice work, personally i think the spoiler should be a diff color, but thats just my opinion, nice work man, very nice :boink:

No offense, it's really not your fault, but are those flakes as big in real life as they appear in the pictures?

Otherwise, looking really good!

:bigthumb: :bigthumb: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 2 thumbs up chris, btw what type of putty did you use to smoth the front indicators?

It's looking pretty cool to me :D Although IMO it's sittin' a little too low...Hei, but that's just me

nope that is the flash reflecting off of the flakes, the rage flip paint is the smallest flakes money can buy, and is incredibly expensive. in real life it is amazing.

its meant to be this low, as if it was on hydraulics

the putty is humbrol model filler. it needs no mixing just driying time, which can be several hours

chris don't you mean baggs? Bags are better than pumps with use of large rims. ahh ok, well on mine i glues teh lense in and put some testors white compound putty all over and around it and sanded witrh 100, then 250, then 450 smooth, it feels real smooth but when i put the primer you can still see where the lense is, any idea on how to fix dis?

Great work.:bigthumb:

good work chris!
its nice to see someone go a step away from the racing skyline...
i like the idea of a slammed "lowrider" skyline...
you planin on doing anything to it?

we i wouldnt use the lens in there, perhaps the filler your using is shrinking? leave it a couple of days to dry, add more, i always over fill the holes till they are "proud" of the body so after shrinkage there is enuf filler.
i use 1200 grit wet and dry paper for finish sanding.

and then leave it for another day. then primer, sand and spray, sand then re spray

good work chris!

not sure about anything else, any suggestions?

looks great as espected

Yeah i have some...shave the reverse lights, and the inner tailights..maybe i soulda said that before you painted it huh. Interior suggestions, TV"s everywhere, 1 out the dash and 2 out the driver and passenger seat, add a tach, and this place i know of has 1/24 scale 10-15'' woofers, id get 3 10'' and paint them in ur flip paint and put them in the panel above your rear seat.

well i just cant sleep, its nearly 3am and i have to be up at 6, might just not go to sleep and head straight to work, lol.

anyway i got round to fitting the lights front and rear, the bonet vent is also done now, nearly there, hehe.

sweet cant wait to finish it.

It's very unique; I like it! :)

i have done the tinting tutorial, gotta sort the pics out and then i will post it, the focus rear window was a bitch and is not as good as say my 350z or skyline nemisis but will be a basic guide as for the procedures

the car is nearly done, just had 3 days of peoples different birthdays to attend so life has been a bit of a bitch with regards to time, but we have a 3 day weekend starting in 6 hrs!!! yay

Paint looks great! and so does the body work but i dont like the lowrider idea.

Great work but! :iceslolan

i just got bored of having every other kind of skyline there is, i literaly have one of every kind of r34, lol.

i think it has turned out quite neat and clean, one of my favourite builds :evillol:

Very nice, don't know how I missed this one.
Maybe the paint flakes seem a bit big for my taste, but 10/10 :smokin:
The interior is also very nice.

thanks, i like this one too. lol.
i think i will turn the flash off when using this paint, seems to make the paint "sparkle" lol.
with no flash i.e out doors its much smoother. just have to fit the new axels as they have now turned up and will let me put the rear a bit further out! thank god. will finish it this weekend for you all to see. get some outside pics i hope as well

I love the dropped stance, the color is way out there but it works nicely. :tongue:

Looks good but you definately need to change the wheel offset they sit wayy to far in the guards.... :)

Oh yeah chris, another request, if its not too much.. how about some side-by-side shots of g-zilla with nemesis and a group shot of the R34's?

Looks very nice! Are you going to leave the back wheels in so far like that?

the rear wheels were on temporary axels made out of kebab skewers hahahaha, now my new metal ones are here i am going to be cutting them to fit and the wheels are going to be further out in the arches, the skewers were purly to set the stance up for the car.

will be doing a photo shoot soon of all my r34's for you all :iceslolan

Yeah, I've been waiting for that tint tutorial for a bit too now. I really want to tint my black Chevelle's windows. Make it almost all black.
