Complete: "NISMAGNUM" GT-R (a vastly rearranged Skyline)

Finally finished the "NISMAGNUM" GT-R wagon. Aoshima Skyline GT-R front end/wheels/dash/taillights added to a Dodge Magnum body.

I'd love to own/drive a car like this. Q-ship wagons are too cool. Fun project, goes well w/all of Veyron's NISMO projects. This crazy idea started as a Mustang wagon, but the Mustang front end didn't fit the Magnum too well, I searched for something more appropriate and I had an extra Aoshima GT-R. I like this car better than a Skyline GT-R or Magnum :cool:

It's built as a very basic curbside. There is no engine detail and just enough underneath to hold the wheels in place. It is neither AWD nor RWD, it's a model, it's NWD (no wheel drive) :biggrin: All the time was spent on getting the bodywork done. It's got a few rough edges, but so do all Mangums and Nissans :lol:

That's awesome!

I think I need groceries!:grinyes:

THAT THING IS @$%^#^&#%^&#%& SICK:eek7:

I want to see these on the roads round here! Love the execution and how you've managed to keep the Nissan theme without spoiling it too much...like how you've seemlessly merged the iconic skyline tail lights into the Magnum body. Opening boot lid would've been awesome :tongue:

Fantastic body work!

r34/magnum/cobalt:grinyes:
you should have made a resin copy of this because its pretty damn fantastic

Excellent work !!

Nice idea, great execution!!!

This creation looks spot on, fantastic build :bigthumb:.

Sublime model! Excellent idea and fantastic build. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the replies :smile:

After building a lot of OOB models this year, it feels good to get another custom done.

It's so believable I'm going to send this to the body shop doing the work on my 1:1.

I see a NISMO table at the next NNL!

Wow, you finally finished it?! Glad you did. I always wondered if you would. Turned out wonderful, even if it is a NWD, lol. :lol:

+1 For great idea:biggrin:

I love the body work!!! You should stick a Hemi in it.....

Yeah... so it's just okay...:grinyes:

Who am I kidding... it's awesome :smokin: .

Looks very natural and real. Looks like something you could actually see driving down the road.

Wow, very impressive work!

I couldn't leave well enough alone. I've added a roof rack, Thule luggage container, and Trek mountain bike. My Fujimi "garage and tools" detail set finally sees the light of day. Painted to match the NISMAGNUM.

Remember the movie "Vacation"? Clark Griswold would be envious of this one. This is even better than the Antartic Blue Super Sports Wagon with C.B. and optional rally fun pack that he didn't get :D

Awesome on every front!
Great build :thumbsup:

:lol: :1:

Great looking station wagon! Very realistic and harmonic. Never imagined those Skyline lights would look that good at the rear.

Bob, those additions really make it come alive. Great work!

Chris

Impressive conversionwork. Faultless paint. Wow.

Love the additions...although, I can't help but feel the bike would look better mounted on the back. Btw, where did you get the bike from? I'd love to have one next to my builds (your's needs a chain :p ).

Thanks; the bike comes with the luggage carrier and racks; Fujimi detail set. It didn't come w/a chain unfortunately.

If anyone were to make a scale hitch & rack for the back, I'd buy one. Roof mounted bikes don't block access to the hatch/luggage area.

Superb work! Great idea!

omg lemme pick up my jaw first. :)

great work there!

Just freakin' COOLNESS!! :sunglasse

Excellent work Mr Downie.... it really looks like its a production vehicle!!

OMG! thats stunning! Nissan are you watching? :D

I have seen your work on here and other forums, and all of it is awesome. But I gotta say, this one is my favorite.

Looks awesome! Well done! I would love to have this as a real DD

Wow this is amazing, looks soo real. Reminds me of those Nissan Stagea's with R34 front end conversions.:wink:

very clean and unique! :smokin:

This look cool
