My 1st Custom Skyline
 
I'm painting a custom skyline now (my first custom paint job). I will post pics as soon as the paint dries/detail painting/picture taken/uploaded onto the computer.

here are the spec's

Body- Skyline R34 (standard version, not the body kit)
Paint Color/type- Rustoleum Aluminum metalic
Headlights- Black
Tailights- Red
Windows-Black (not clear)
Custom parts- Slightly functional (see pic) air scoop; huge wing
(picture will be taken on my LXX chassis, bucause my MS chassis has FS wheels and I havent dremeled out the wheel wells yet

Heres how the air intake is "slightly functional" \/

Pics. have been taken (6 in all) Just have to upload them onto the computer (This is without Clear coat and detail painting). Oh yeah, can someone give me a full tutorial for expanding wheel wells so I can :bdrop: my skyline really low?

Finally, here are the pictures. They are pretty big so I could keep the resolution (I did it in Paint) so they may take a while to load.
Notice hole under air intake

Thats a nice scoop.
That giant ricey-wing is a little bit too much for me, personally.
As for the wheel wells,
I'd just cut 'em out and make new ones out of putty.

MicroSpeed 08-27-2003 04:26 PM

yeah, It turned out bigger than I thought it would, and I dont like the design much either. But thanx for the comments. Oh and about the air scoop, it was made from a piece of styrene KEEP OUT sign, scored where folded, because the stuff I used on the wind was too thick
keep 'em comin'

MicroSpeed 08-27-2003 05:37 PM

btw thanks for the comments

wow, good job, spoiler is a little out of scale, but very good job. i know azimov made some custom wheel wells, and maybe sinned? I know i saw a really good job of them somewhere.....
