Jhedir6 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 This is my entry into the 14th Annual 24 HRS of Daytona Facebook Group build. This was my fifth year participating and my fourth year in a row completing the build within the 24hr window. Kit is Tamiya's GT-R (R34) 2003 spec car done in a fantasy livery. Paint is Gravity Colors Falken Green and Blue. As well as the new Tamiya LP's (white on the interior and wheels, flat black on the rest of the chassis and interior. Clear is ProForm's Automotive 2K clear. Decals are from NuNu's BMW M6 GT3 kit along with kit decals and a few extras from the parts box. Kit went together like a dream. No issues at all. Decals worked well and again no issues with application. Issues...I've had a cold for 3 weeks now, and of course in the middle of the night it hit me back hard and I lost about 6 hrs of build due to a Dristan induced coma. I managed to finish with minutes to spare so there are a few details I would have like to have gotten better, hence the reason for the weathering to hide some of the flaws. Please excuse the weathering, it needs a good "blow off" as I put the weathering right before taking pics as I was pressed to finish on time. The biggest issue was the difference in colour between the NuNu kit decals and the Gravity Blue. Had I been doing this as a normal build I would have use the scallop decal to make a mask and then masked off the green before spraying the blue. Other than that, I'm fairly happy with the results. Comments and criticisms always welcome.
Shambles Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I'm a fan of weathering. I watched a lot of the 24 hr Rolex and the cars look like that when they finish. Nice job!
mustang1989 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 This looks like you spent a long time working with it. Your hard work paid off as the results are nothing short of superb.

Mattilacken Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Great with a super quick build! Looks awesome with the competition weathering!
Funkychiken Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Killer race car! I can't believe that you can paint and decal within 24hrs
