How many Scale model Skylines do you own?


Recommended Posts

I've got one skyline and a 2 door datusn 510 in the works right now. The skyline is a fujimi HR31 GTS-R. It has no rear wing, is lowered about 6 scale inches, has aftermarket 19" AVS model 5 rims in bronze, and is painted in a reallly dark (like almost black when out of the sun) blue with a heavy metalflake which looks mad when the light hits it. I also have spare mesh 15" rear wheels which I swap on occasionally, and I made up a big drifted out cannon muffler on the back. Interior is red race seats from a S4 RX7 kit, with silver/grey trim, black interior (e.g like the J's racing s15 from canberra). should finish up well.

The revell datsun 510 will be in the same blue (but probably a bit lighter due to body color), with black RS-watanabe 8 spokes from fujimi kit on the front, and black/silver mesh dish rims on the back. The interior will have one red race seat, and be stripped. I am also converting it from left to right hand drive and making an exhaust system for it.

Hopefully I'l finish them and post pics of my "seventh garage" mini drift team one day :)

I buy my kits from http://www.hlj.com

cheers,

wheres the best place to buy the plastic bodies ones that require full assembly, e.g. fujimi and tamiya kit styles??

most of mine were given to me, but i always get them from games/model stores and they cost over 40 bucks each. is there a way to order them direct from japan? i'd love it if i could get them for around 15-20 bucks each.

coco69, there's a good model shop in Melbourne just near Myer / David Jones, in one of those streets that cut through them. If that makes sense? It's near the corner of that big road that goes to the bridge next to the train station. If that helps? lol

I don't get there very often.....

red900ss: Those directions aren't bad considering you're from Sydney ;)

It's called 'Hobby Place' and is on Lonsdale St near Swanston (a couple of doors up from Melb Central)

Another one (even better) called Traffic Collectibles in Malvern Rd, Prahran - just up from Williams Rd (opposite Safeway)

Sorta OT, sorta not, anyone know what a good grade of sandpaper is to sand back a plastic model? or a way of chemically stripping one (that won't melt it) maybe oven cleaner?? I left a kit shell on my balcony, turned my back for a minute, and a freak wind blew up, flipped it over and now the paint is full of shit. GRRRR. I need to strip and start again or sand back the affected areas. Its a fujimi kit.

cheers,

floody
