Almost done..Tamiya Nismo Z in a purdy blue

[Gray Smith]

Heres my hopefully first build of 2009 and first in a while. Its mostly box stock except for some MFH carpet inside and some Crazy Modeler p/e parts all about. I'm switching the wheels too, i'm going with the color matched advans, but I decided to put the newly released aoshima Volk RE30's up there to see what they look like. paint is spazstix super black, HOK sg100 with lots of blue pearl, and hok clear. I've also tried out future for the first time on the back half of the car and it looks good, got rid of some of the texture left from polishing(paint is thin so I didn't polish too hard)

Hope you like it, and it will be done as soon as I can paint the frosted window areas...lol

sorry for the picture quality, i'm working on getting a new camera...

after this one is done, I'm working on this...

Comments and critiques are always welcome...

nice blue! i like the Advan's in the first pic, those are some cool wheels but not everyone likes them.

Dave

Thanks Dave, your right, not everyone likes the 3-spokers, but they have always been my dream wheel, back when I had my 240 i was saving up for a pair of those..

They are whats going on the car, when I got the re30's I though they looked better, but when the body is placed on the chassis, the ride height makes the advans perfect.

btw the I haven't totally forgotten about the Ferrari, just need to right it down to check it out for you.

Looks real good ...I personally like the 14 spoke wheels. I hear ya with the window frosting.. it sure isn't a sweet job in my book! I have a Skyline (converted to a US G35) about ready to stick together..but for all that window frosting.. ugh.. ))

Great color choice on the Z, Gray!!

I've got to get back to building some of the newer sports cars again. I've been building custom hotrods a long time now...

Thanks for sharing,

Well, i'm glad to see you back Gray, with some of the stuff you had going on. and with your title, your darn right!!!

I will be honest with you, I really do not like 3 spokes BUT these I do, just something about them, on the HKS S15 too. I both of the choices. They go so well with the car, stance, and color. But I will say that S13 is still sweet, because the one you had was so cool.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I appreciate it. I got home tonight and was determined to try and finish this one. All it needs now is the muffler to be painted and installed and I can call it done...the next post will be in the under glass section.

Nick, thanks buddy..I think I got what your message said and yeah...alot has been going on.

Raul, nothing wrong with a few rods, the Raptor and its Hauler are awesome stuff, I've got a 32 Sedan i'm also working on...unfortunately i've lot alot of the interest on that 32 roadster I have in progress...I'm re-thinking the whole car now..lol

Hope you like it, and as always comments and critiques are always welcome.

We've all been there...I've got as many models that are 3/4 done as I have finished builds. Set it aside until you're in the mood, otherwise you'll probably make a mistake and be completely unhappy with the whole thing.

Later,

those advan's fit the bill pretty darn well. good build, nice and clean.

Modeler's ADD, good luck with that, I know I have it. That blue is so freaking cool. The black with tons of blue flakes oh yeah!

I knew you would get it, I just wanted to word it right.
