It'll be perfect for Halloween! That looks really good. Green/black on a Vette looks good.

Looks great. I really like the color.

Nice work. I love these old racers.

yeah, but I like bright colors and the decals will help cover the flaws not shown in the pictures! LMAO!

Thanks for the tips. This is a box-stock build, so nothing other than what came with the kit is on it. No CF decals. You've obviously build a couple of these by the sounds of it.

The bike's done. Now it's on to decals....

Here's a quick update. The chassis is complete, lines run, and the body ferrings are next. Man this kit's an absolute gem.

PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK! That thing's got cool factor galore!!! Obviously I'm a Skyline fan.

Yup. I took about a 1 month leave and it was quite refreshing. My last two projects have really caused me to "get back to the basics". Glad to see something's caused an itch to scratch. That Merc looks sweet as does the AMX.

yeah, but is your host going to sand all the sprue points and mold-lines away?

Play bass guitar, cook, collect diecasts, and get crazy with my wife & two kids.

Hey Willy - The wheels are a snap. The hard part is removing the seam lines (minimal) but if you have a flexi-file, it'll be a snap (I didn't at the time). Painting the wheels is easy. I used an airbrush, and standard Tamiya orange (x-6 I believe)over white primer as it turned out very close to the right color, and the flourescent yellow, I'm using Tamiya Lemon Yellow (stock paint at your LHS) and it turns out as bright. Anyway, back to the wheels. I clamped the ridge on the outside where the wheels mount as you won't see them anyway. From there, I just misted orange around it from all angles and got even coverage. Do the same if you have a rattle can. Another small challenge is putting the decals on the wheels. Any more questions, give me a shout!

I decided it was time for something with two wheels. I fell in love with the paint scheme on this (yeah I've got wierd taste) and ordered the kit from my LHS. Here's where I'm at now. If you haven't built a Tamiya motorcycle kit, this one anyway, is an absolute gem.

Love it Dave! Great build!

Just picked up 69 Dodge Super Bee 68 Dodge Challenger 08 Mustang GT350h

That F1 team and GT40 are worth it alone IMHO. Cool and good for you!

Awesome! Another fan of the Skyline. I've got a lot of catching up to you if I can!

I missed it, but I agree FREAKIN' FINALLY!!! Open wheel and most other track racers run in the rain!!!

You didn't see all of the vintage kits being burned in the fire surrounding the band???

I'm a HUGE fan of the old 60's & early 70's kit art. It doesn't get any better for me.

Cool video and looks like some new masks. Not a huge Slipknot fan, but a few songs I do like. It's nice to know the guy can actually carry a tune withouth growling all the time.

I desperately want this kit being a Skyline fan, but $50 is a big price tag for a glorified curb side kit.

Odd, I've never had a problem with parcel post. Yes, you wait a couple weeks, but you'll get it. $17.00 from overseas is pretty cheap. Last two times I've shipped anything across the pond cost me $20+

I agree 100% Harry. I sketched the box etc. for the truck as well and you SHOULD be able to see the front of the truck. Here's the original photo I'm dealing with in the magazine, and you'll see where all of the "impossible" comes from. It's like the shot was taken through a fish eye lense of some sort. ??? I know my skills are not nearly up to yours, and I know the drawing/shot's off as well before I posted it, but I don't draw every day and this is literally my first "still life" drawing in over 15 years. Thanks for the input.
