jrherald420 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Toss those tires in a drill and hit them with some sandpaper to give them the used look.
BMX Addicts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks Jason, I tried that before and I honestly dont like the used tire look (At least not on this type of car)... As a matter of fact, I even use glossy clear after I apply the decals (Which is the very last thing I'll be doing since ruining the set on the Blue Supra). I ordered a set of Tire Stickers from Estrada, you know the square ones seen on the tires when they are new?
BMX Addicts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) I wish they would sell the chalk writing decals too... That would be super cool no? The ones from strada are 1/20 and they are GoodYears, but that will have to do (I'm only using the rectangular production code decals). Edited May 15, 2013 by BMX Addicts
jrherald420 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Take a white or yellow grease pencil or a colored pencil and sharpen it to a nice point and do it yourself.
BMX Addicts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Hmmmmm... never even occurred to me... Will look into the Grease pencil.
BMX Addicts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) A bit off topic, but just really happy to know GT6 will be available for PS3 Now, confess... how many of you clicked the video arrow The concept video can be seen here Edited May 15, 2013 by BMX Addicts
BMX Addicts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks Kyle... Now we know what we want for Christmas... PS4 IOI
BMX Addicts Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 A night behind bars... Have to say that looking at these next to the Blue Supra made me realize what a difference a hand full of models makes... Kind of proud right now
martinfan5 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 THe chassis looks great, I need to learn from you I am so exciting about GT6 is for PS3, I was planning on getting a PS4, but now, there is no hurry
BMX Addicts Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks Jonathan... I realized today while installing the dashboard my shifter consoles were installed backwards (Boink!!!)... Now I have to do some crazy modification to make it look right (The glue I'm using is not going to let me take them out)... If anything PLEASE DO NOT LEARN THAT FROM ME!!!! Is a shame they let us know the game will come out so early!!!... Now is gong to be a crazy wait for December to come by.
BMX Addicts Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Installed the dashboards... Improvised a shifter... And also a safety net... I want to go get some electrical cable in Red to do bar pads in the front poles. My new friend Tetsuo is going to help me with the decals (Wheeeeeee!!!!). Edited May 17, 2013 by BMX Addicts
Davewilly Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Looking pretty cool! GT and Call of Duty are like the only 2 games I play on my PS3 and the Toms Supra is my favorite car. I also have this kit but have yet to build it.
BMX Addicts Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks Dave... I hope to see some more of these out there once they are finished (there are literally only 5 models finished in the whole worldwide web), as of now the one and only real challenge have been the decals so is something that anyone would enjoy building.
BMX Addicts Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 Oscar According to eBay the next one is still in transit from the UK... But I'm impatiently waiting to see the GT Community Build thread to populate. Tomo got his car a couple days back...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Indeed I did, I've always loved the JGTC race cars. Seeing your build has put me back into a Castrol kick, I'm so tempted to do another Corolla for the build but I reeeeally don't think I'm in the mood for putting up with those decals These two are looking great, can't wait to see you go for the Pescarolo.
BMX Addicts Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Tomo... The Castrol is something you should give a shot at, other than the decals is pretty easy (This thread is the proof). I'm actually a little nervous about the Pescarolo decals (Those suckers are loooong!!!), but yes, pretty cool stuff.
BMX Addicts Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Significant progress with the bodies... I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my friend Tetsuo Uyeda for his help with these, bud if you are reading these words, THANK YOU!, I could not have done them without you.
o-man Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Decals look wonderful! How much hair have you got left after putting them on?
