That's going to look MAAADD man !!!

This is some really useful information I've been trying to find out what gauge people are generally useing so I can get my scales straight and this really helps thanks for takeing the time to share all this info

Got some at Walmart in Canada

I would like to just say WOW. I just read threw all the pages on this topic and the amount of knowledge you've learned from beginning to now is really motivating . Your expert craftsmen skills really leave me speechless and I cant wait till you get to melting some metal will be tuneing in and I'm very exicted to see you get back to this ! Cheers, John

Is that the Riviera Danny did ? Or just freakishly similar ? lol

I agree those that can fully plumb a 1/25 th scale engine/car I as well look up to them. I don't go crazy with the plumbing but I think a few little things here and there can go a long way; but to each is there own and I'm sure your still pumping out amazing quaility work ! Cheers, John

Thanks for the advice gator I like the fishing line idea I may have to take a trip to canadian tire and pick some up. I think the mistake I made was I didn't strip the wire I was using I left the rubber insulator on and instead of being 0.2 it was likely .4 or something way to big i may end up makeing a new coil and fixing this, I'm thinking 0.1 or smaller would be better but I'm not sure. What is the "ideal" gauge to use for 1/25th ?

When I was at micheals picking the model up my girlfriend came with me and I was tossed between a few greens and she insisted this was the best looking one , I would have to agree with her. That will look sweet on a classic rod like that ! Can't wait for the wip or when she's all under glass

Micheal it is Possiable to import them , there's a few real type r eks kicking around the east coast of Canada. A buddy of mine owns a Jdm rhd teg , the blue vin tags are still on it and everything she's a beaut

Thank you Carl

I was trying something new , somewheres online I read that the inside of Ethernet cable or phone line was a good source for plug wire.but I guess not xD thanks for the tip Im still working on my understanding of scale and what looks right, I usually use very thin solder. until I find something better I guess I'll just stick with that lol , thank you for the advice and kind words

very clean ! Awesome job !

That's halirours Im working on this same exact kit! I don't have the pe parts but The kit is still pretty detailed; I've been looking all over the web on a site that will ship to me but it seems impossiable to find them separately, I'm from Canada so I'm building mine as if it was an import and modified. I love yours it really turned out awesome ! Great job !

Thank you everyone for the motivating words I'm still learning a lot of the more advanced technics and I'm always challenegeing myself that really helps

I've yet to do any black washing I'll have to do some research on it and give it a try thanks a lot I love to hear other people's opionons helps widen my knowledge, I did it for a local meet so I did put alittle more thought and care into it

Thank you Douglas

I have to say this would have to be proably one of my favorite builds. The build the entire time never seemed to give me to many issues. the kit went together fairly nice other then a few problems with Lineing up the front hood. I sprayed it with testors one coat lacquer (mystic emerald) I can't count the amount of coats of paint I put on this sucker 2 100ml cans of spray later and everything was painted and ready for assembly , the bed was finished with testors natural wood ( the bottle I have is from Id say 20 years ago) but still works great after 30 mins of shakeing it furiously, I made my own disturbotor and added a few fuel lines to the bay , I'm still learning the ins and outs on engine detailing. this was my first adventure using bMF and the stuff seems pretty easy to use just takes a bit of patients hope everyone enjoys , questions and positive critism are very welcome

This is freakin awesome ! Great work

Another tamyia curbside kit. This was a really fun build and I finished this one in probably half the amount of time it took me to do my first R34. for the body I sprayed it with tamyia gunmetal (Ts-38) I took a few other few modelers advice from the site and painted the trim black on this one. I used Bmf around the tail pipe, I also cut the gaps between the backs of the headrest of the front seats out. it has 3 coats of clear , ( 2 mist , 1 heavy) Im really happy with the finsih ,I know it's not show quaility but for sitting on my self it's perfect, I got a hair on the bonnet I manage to get it out of the paint but it also pulled some of the sparkles out of the paint so there's a bit of a "swirl" but you can barely tell and I'm happy with it , any questions or postive criticism are very welcome .hope everyone enjoys

Love it ! Where did you get the kit I've been looking for a Honda/acura for months now

Looking really good glad to see another Nissan fan I'll have to post my other r34 now lol

First set looks like they'd fit the build a bit better, love it so far ! Keep the progress coming

Thanks rambenna and Chris

thank you everyone for all the kind words

Dr.cranky you really make some works of art !
