SelineManson Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Hi all. First post here and thought I'd share something I just finished up, which also happens to be my first time making a kit like this so theres a few things I could have done better but overall i'm happy with the result and cant wait to make more! (I already have 3 more Skyline kits on the go lol) I have experience restoring and painting real cars so I sprayed this with automotive paints and lacquers, detailed with Tamiya acrylics by hand. The paint isn't Bayside Blue of course, and is infact a Ford colour I had left over, but I think it's pretty close and I'm happy with how it turned out. I decided to go with the Japanese plates for that full on JDM look ?? The interior was flocked but you can't really see that in the photos. I had never done flocking before though so that was a fun experience. Anyway let me know what you all think and thanks for looking. X

Janne Herajärvi Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Very nice Skyline there.. That blue suits well for it.. Great paint job and nice detailing..
Phirewriter Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Love it! One of my favourite JDM cars and the paint looks fantastic.
Quick GMC Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 never really had an interest in these cars, but over the last few years they have really been growing on me. This looks great, nice work
martinfan5 Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Nice, I love Bayside Blue, but that blue you used is very nice.
