Cool Hand Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Another JDM build im currently working on that is inspired by a well known TV series car. Nothing serious and not concerned about scale accuracy, just a fun build that all about the visual. Again a modified 77 Nissan Skyline C210.

Cool Hand Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Update on a couple builds. Applied some paint to the 210 Skyline components. Finally applied the clear on the LBWK Lambo Huracan. Definitely will need a wet sand and polish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old faithful Tamiya TS-14 never lets me down. Slight bit of micro orange peel, but Tamiya compounds will easily sort that out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have many 210 and 211 Skylines in the kit stash, my favorite year/make/style. The colour and wheels are a definite hints.

Cool Hand Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Removed the bodies from the paint stands and done a mock up, definitely need a change of wheels and stance adjustment on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragstk Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Luke, Im so impressed with your ability to paint black so well. Do you rattle can the Tamiya paint or do you decant it and then air brush? Care to do a tutorial on your technique? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
