Here is my take on the Skyline, mostly box stock other than lowered stance and wheels from a Tamiya race car(hints the center locking nut and no lug nut's). I also made a tow hook out of styrene and painted it gold to match the caliper's. I scribed and washed all the panel lines then shot it in Titanium metalizer with dull coat over the top. The interior is a custom mix of black chrome trim and gunmetal with flat red seat's. Thanks for looking.

Thanks guy's I am glad you like the color also. I love how the Model Master metalizers lay down so I thought why not use them as base color's. I have done three, one with sealer as a overcoat(Porsche), one with gloss(Dodge Ram) and this one with dull coat. I think the flat color makes the Skyline look that much more sinister.

I'm not sure what it is about this one but I like it. I think it is the fact that it does not have all the graphics or wild colors on it. It is very "clean" in a number of ways and for me, that is refreshing. Nice job Steven!

Thank's guy's, John you have completely nailed it in describing the goal when I modify a large or scale sized car...."clean".

Thank's again everyone, it's refreshing to know you guy's like the flat paint. It was hard not to gloss it all up after the bodywork, but I had a vision and went with it. Here are a few with the Porsche just for fun.
