Model Kit - Nissan Skyline R34

[Beastatron]

I dont know if this is ok but I thought somebody might be interested. This is something I've been making for a night or so now. If admins have a problem with this it's cool.

The Tamaiya R34 kit? I am planning on ordering that one right after christmas.

I am currently working on the Nissan Fairlady 300ZX.



Do you use brushes, or a air-brush to paint?

Yup that one. I use brushes to paint, and as you can see I'm kinda sloppy in places. :roll: Oh well. I think its really cool that the wheels can turn left to right...instead of just spinning.

The R34 kit that detailed? hock:
/me wants one too

Looks really good, cant wait to see some more.

[Beastatron]

Oh good well in that case I'll post more today. I've got most of the interior done but I'm at school so...you know.

[Beastatron]

Well well heres what I have so far. Next is the windows.
I wish my screen on my digital camera wasnt broken so I could
show you guys the detail with macro on, but I cant turn it on anymore.
Bleh, oh well. I didnt like the colors it had for the seats and stearing wheel
so I made up my own. ~_~ Tell me what you think.

No not at all!
I think it's cool to have someone posting this kind of WIP too

[Beastatron]

Weeeee more work. Nearly done now. Needs the spoiler, mirrors, and small details. I'm really unhappy about the paint on the body, there are air bubbles everywhere and bleh. Next time I'll use spray paint.

[Beastatron]

And this.

YEah it looks really great, and nice idea to post it here, atleast it is a scratch made car lol . But I think that the bottom should be a bit more dark maybe.

PS: Are you a fan of H.I.M. band too? I like their music so much. :wink:

[SuB-ZeuZ]

It looks great, very well made and painted

[Beastatron]

Thanks for the comments.
mattb2003: I got it from a hobby store called HobbyTownUSA. I cant imagine them anywhere England ~_~. The company that makes the models though is Tamiya, maybe you could order some online. It was only $27.

NaugriM: Yes HIM is my favorite band.

Anyways, here is the final project. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out I guess just the paint on the body bothers me. Oh well next time I'll do better. You cant see them very well in the pictures but I put all the decals on. Hope you like.

not bad but thats some horrible paint job there.

[mwkmn]

The paint is dusty!

Better luck on your next one, though.

[jawee]

where can i get one of those models?

[SuB-ZeuZ]

Hmm, the body paint doesn't look that good, the paint isn't evenly spreaded over the body, 'cos you can see some brighter spots.
Overal its quite nice made
