Sorry to bump this but I'm getting round to painting mine this weekend and if it looks half this good I will be impressed!!

I have assembled all the paints and stuff I need in terms of build number 2 I HOPE.... On this model I have noticed a lot more mould lines - what sandpaper would be best to remove this ready for primer? Ignoring the obvious mess on the below photo but I was testing the clear red on build number one and noticed it clearly looks painted, anyway of solving this?

Can someone tell me out of the MANY skylines that are out there which is the best one? Ive looked at loads and can't find which would be best...

Spot on!

Thanks. I now have three forums to spend time on

I know this might sound a really dumb thing to post on a very good and detailed forum but any other links, forums or websites that you guys know of that are UK based rather than like this one USA based?

My second model has arrived so this will be commenced very shortly. My "messed up" one wil be used for trial and error Come back shortly!

If you imagine the windows themselves and then around the window is a black "plastic/rubber" seal

That decal work on the grill is seriously amazing. so much detail in such a small amount of space. 10/10

How is best to paint them as I said before I tried permenant marker and it looked awful and messy. ANyone got any tips?

Yeah I thought that but I dont have any spare plastic bodies so would mean buying one to test on basically.

Hey Shaun, Would that remove the permanent pen then? the paint isn't too bad but the marker looks awful

Ive always wanted a model car of MY actual car so when I bought my type-r I found this model so the challenge was set. My only issue is that Ive come from the die cast scene not the plastic one so I've never done one before.... This is MY car Test fitting the wheels Bumper fits fairly well Paint went on fairly well but never done this before but hasn't had a clear coat go on just the base http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Lingham/IMG_1583.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Lingham/IMG_1584.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Lingham/IMG_1582.jpg Then I had issues with the doors - I tried permanent marker and it just looks awful so I've had to order a replacement model http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Lingham/IMG_1626.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/Lingham/IMG_1627.jpg

That is an american website - im in the UK so it wont work

ANyone have a good website to use as I can quite easily go onto a number plate website and create one but then its a case of printing it in the right scale or is it a case of trial and error?
