Finished, looks a bit messed up to me, but its a cheap plastic model and it was messed up in the first place anyways. BUT, it looks much better (to me at least) than it was before.

Would probably look better at a far distance. :lol:

Not bad actually, nice work! :)

The two tone bumper looks nice and no wing = FTW.

If you were to make it with a fresh/new model though, it would probably look a lot cleaner.

Oh yes, most defiantly.

Awesome :D is it possible to do offset tweaks to the wheels? The rears would look a bit better if they stuck out some more, jussayin XD

Leadfoot[YT] · October 1, 2011

Impressive, considering the starting point. My only recommendation would be wider (and less chrome-y) wheels and to find out what type of paint factory-made model cars use. :) can't wait to see more - if you choose to, of course.

Yeah those were the only rims I had that can closely fit. The set I showed before didn't work out well.

Paladin Skylark · October 1, 2011

I think that turned out well! :D Nice work!

killalldude · October 1, 2011

Looks awesome! By any chance are those Chrysler 300C rims?

No, they are just rims from a different tuner car.

Decided to redo another one this time this:

On the process of trying to take the glass off I cracked the front windshield. :( I'll have to make one.

E: I'm in the process of scraping (Yes scraping) the old paint completely off.

killalldude · November 3, 2011

I think the Skyline looks good as is. I'm curious to see what you do with it though!

Um.... Looks like crap? Lol. I mean come on, yellow door handles?! I questioned myself as to why I did that in the first place. That and the paint is all wavy.

killalldude · November 3, 2011

^Lol I didn't notice the door handles. In the pic the paint doesn't look bad though. The pinstripe looks nice and it has tasteful stickers unlike my Import Racer Skyline R34 :p

Ken · November 20, 2011

So yeah, went to the hobby store JUST to get some glue, I ended up buying an R32 with it as well.

Now I got two skylines to work with.

Here is my R34 as of now:

ScoobSTi · November 20, 2011

I agree with Killall, the Sky looked great in the first place, but whatever. It's your model! :p

Can't wait to see both of them! :D

Ken · November 21, 2011

I made one, soon I'll make more. (The lift I meant)

Looks so great!

Prophecy · November 21, 2011

Damn... making me wanna start building models, again. (I mean you've made me want to before. I've never built a model before)

Just about got the R32 completed. As you can see the R34 is still work in progress.

I added some copper wire to look like ignition wires.

I want to get into this it looks fun but the painting part seems like it would be difficult

What I do is spray paint all the parts to their respective color, then put it together. Then to speed up the process I use super glue on most parts to put the parts together, except on the clear/glass parts. Super glue can sometimes leave white marks on the parts due to the fumes, use little of it.

TDUFREAK500 · November 26, 2011

I started one with my dad a couple of years ago but we started off too difficult since I insisted that we get a monster truck :L, so it never got finished since we couldn't get some of the parts on.
