    Testing Waters - new kits to trade

    in Trading Post

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    Have some NEW model kits in my collection that I am putting up on trade.  Will build them eventually, just thought I would see if there are any interesting trade opportunities first.

    Have nothing specific in mind, though I do like to build American muscle, hot rods, Japanese cars, and some German (Mercedes & BMW).

    Send me a PM if you're interested.  Complete, unbuilt kits only please.

    Very sharp build, nicely done. You have nowhere to hide with the black paint!

    I built the more basic Fujimi version earlier in the year, still got the Tamiya to do someday. Looks like it justifies a bit of attention to detail.

    Thank you - I have a couple of the Fujimi variants in my collection as well.  Plan on building something a little more wild with them in the future.

    Awesome build!!!


    The black paint job looks great but my favourite is how you’ve detailed and the paint choice for the engine bay.

    Thanks for the high praise! All the colors in the engine bay were chosen to match the reference pictures I found online.  The only thing I deviated from the instructions is the use of dull aluminum, bronze and pale burnt metal for some visual texture.  The Red air cleaner certainly pops against the black though.

    Nice looking Nissan Steve.  That black looks good.

    Thank you - first attempt at using craft paints through the airbrush.  I'm happy with the results and by far a much cheaper alternative.

    I love the look of this "beast", of yours.

    The look to me is just great, and all your nice detailing really make your model "POP".

    I love the color and engine detail especially.

    Thank you - I had some struggles with some of the details, so I'm glad you appreciate them

    Beautiful looking paint and great detailing on the engine. I like the look with the wheels and tires sticking out just a little. 

    That's exactly the look I was going for - glad  you appreciate it

    Beautiful model and a very clean build! Thanks for posting!

    Thanks - clean and shinny builds are a challenge for me.  Your compliment means alot.

    Calling this one done: Tamiya's Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Hardtop inspired by the car Paul Walker drove in Fast Five.  Though it had limited screen time, I feel like it is the best looking Japanese car to make it on screen in the series.

    It has a wired engine, wood grain interior trim, BMF exterior trim, flocked interior, and addition of Fujimi Watanabe wheels.  I could have started with the Tamiya Street Custom kit, but I liked the deep offset of the Fujimi wheels and I had both on hand.

    The wheels were painted with Alclad II Jet Exhaust for the bronze look, everything else was done in acrylic paint.  The body is craft paint from the dollar store, thinned and shot through an airbrush with AK Interactive Ultra Gloss.

    My latest completion form the Hasegawa kit.  Box says the scale is 1/24, but it feels more like 1/26.

    I instantly envisioned a shop truck when I saw the kit and every shop truck needs patina. Other than the Datsun decals, everything is kit stock.  Paint is combination of various Vallejo and dollar store craft paint.  Also my first attempt at using weathering pigments.

    Realized afterwards I installed the chin spoiler backwards, but I like it better the way it ended up.
