    🤔 Wonder what style I will do for this build. Guess we will find out once the wheels are finished 3D printing 🤣

    Yep agree, mentioned something similar back on page 2. Could also pay per view for specific content/article from the magazine.

    I seen another modeler of the forum working on a kit from this Aoshima series. And it inspired me to dig out a long ago stalled build. The idea for the style of this build is a Datsun ute pulled from a wrecking yard and converted to a drift car with a supercharged power plant. Paint work same technique I used on a previous Skyline build The supercharger was 3D printed, the file sourced from Slowys Models Scratch built interior tub and roll cage, I 3D printed fuel cell and radiator. Filled in the tail gate. Styrene tube for the exhaust. I 3D printed the wheels and tyres are Aoshima 14' stretch wall cambered. Crazy Modeler photo etched mesh used for the grills.

    Thats the thing about fitting after market wheels, you are kinda restricted to what will fit. Thats why most people will kit swap wheels. After market wheels will sometimes require modifications. Either of these Pegasus wheels should fit the Imperial without too much modification. But no stock with Lazy Modeller. Have to shop around.

    Another place to source wheels is Lazy Modeller they have some of the Pegasus range.

    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.
  21. Cool Hand
    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.
