    Interesting, look forward to seeing the engine mocked up. Supercharged ?

    I really liked the blue green colour shift and rust combo, so had to do it again. Used finer grain table salt and less of it on the Datto. But I will go back in and add some more rust with sponging technique.

    Thanks Bob. The Mr Color GX 114 flat clear lays down super smooth. I cant wait to see what the wheels look like, got them painted just need to let them dry a bit before I can do a mock up.

    Yeah can totally understand mate, its so good to have the kits available of Australian cars from our past.

    Fresh out of the 3D printer. New wheels for the Datto 720. LongChamp wheel design from Slowys Models

    Nice one Michelle. Another clever build with the mixing and combining files to come up with your own custom. Very aggressive looking wide body in black. And cool having Dom in the drivers seat.

    Update on the Datto, rusty base coat done with same paint and process I used on the Skyline.

    Thanks John. Cage looks the part, buts its little bit skewed. But thats okay, wont matter once its inside the cab. Thanks Bob, should be something different.

    @StevenGuthmiller how would you approach adhesive residue removal when doing Bmf before paint ?? Reason I ask is, I apply the foil after 1st coat of primer/surfacer, and will use enamel thinner to remove residue as that just evaporates. If I was to use WD-40 could it be absorbed into the primer surfacer, and even if cleaned thoroughly effect paint adhesion ??

    Good to see some colour on the build Stu. Clear coat will bring out that pearl.

    Looks like a fun side project Bob.

    Some progress on the Dato 720. Scratch built the interior tub out of some 1.5mm styrene sheet and the driveline tunnel was sourced from my scrap parts which was cut out of a Holden HQ interior. Also picked out some seats and steering wheel from the parts stash. Scratch built a roll cage. Thought I better double check and ensure correct steering wheel placement and position, cant have the scale purists cringing 🤣 Added some cage work in the bed. Start on the body work next.

    As per usual I get distracted with the thoughts and idea's. After building the rusty/patina Skyline I have wanted to do another build like that. But have been undecided what kit to dig out of the stash. Then I seen a fellow members build of a Aoshima RN30 Hilux which reminded me I had a Datsun 720 I had started, lost interest and put back in the box and buried back in the stash So after some searching found the kit. I rediscovered the kit has no interior tub as I donated that to some one years ago. The stance and wheels were already set up, and after a bit of back and forth with idea's and some modification to the bonnet/hood I decided a super charged drift truck with patina will be the go. Engine parts are SlowysModels LS 3 engine and supercharger from his blower set So yeah wont be anything too fancy or serious. Small amount of body work, scratch build an interior tub and roll cage. After that the fun part of painting.

    Thanks Bob, hoping the LJ will be a good representation of a typical Aussie Burnout car and be on the same level as the HQ I built last year.
