Spottedlaurel Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Another couple from my ongoing batch of builds to replace those that got damaged a few years ago. 1981-83 Nissan Skyline Turbo EX Q289 LEW (c.2000) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr This was the loose inspiration for the Skyline, it was owned by a friend and I saw plenty of it when a group of us convoyed up to a show in Norway. 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline R30 4dr kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr This one got particularly badly affected. I used the same Tamiya TS-18 spray paint as before, but changed the wheels to a Shadow Spoke accessory set by Fujimi. 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline R30 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline R30 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Skyline R30 kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Finished the Silvia on Sunday: Again I was a bit unimaginative and kept it the same TS-75 Champagne Gold as my original build, and also used the ex-BMW M635 wheels and tyres. I realy like the look of this generation of Silvia and this is pretty much how I'd have one at 1:1. 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Silvia K's kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Silvia K's kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Silvia K's kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Nissan Silvia K's kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr They're from opposite ends of the '80s but they look well together: 1:24 Tamiya Skyline and Silvia kits by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Skyline and Silvia kits by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Thanks for looking.
Pete75 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Great job X2! The Silvia looks mean on those wheels. (Like the unmistakably English backdrop!)
doorsovdoon Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Looking good. Very nice Silvia, I really like the colour on that.
e30lover Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Great looking pair! Love the thick sidewalls on the skyline. RS style BMW wheels look nice on the silvia as well.
kruleworld Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Top Notch builds. also put the old ones in a junkyard diorama... My Interceptor model got melted, so i made it into Max's car after his crash mm2warrior4 by aus_mus, on Flickr Edited December 23, 2020 by kruleworld
grodudulle77 Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Nice work with the both !! ?? Edited December 23, 2020 by grodudulle77
espo Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I like how you recreated all the models that were sun damaged. They do make perfect wrecks to be displayed with their replacements.
Spottedlaurel Posted December 24, 2020 Author Posted December 24, 2020 Thanks everyone. The damaged shells will eventually get used again in one way or another. The Silvia will donate its front end to a Nissan 180SX to create a SilEighty. On 12/23/2020 at 6:21 AM, kruleworld said: Top Notch builds. also put the old ones in a junkyard diorama...
