'lost Birds' R33 Gtr

[istdercollen]

yeah, I'm american living in Japan getting stared at everywhere I go. we shall see on the covers, I thought about doing the Japanese Imperial Navy flag.. might be too cheesy though.

[BeEnAr]

Imperial flag would look sweet , or you could go a bit different and really test the artist out and do one of the following:

Imperial flag out of Beer bottles:

Freaky Mickey Mouse one:

Or the Ultimate Cheese.... Hello Kitty:

I also found this cool Mix of the American and Japanese flag. It's called the Obama Rising Sun:

Awesome work. I'm impressed.

[istdercollen]

^thanks! Update coming. Been slower than expected progress on the trunk. There is so much surface area on it (slightly more than the R33 door) and it's curved every which way. Looks good though I think.

man, looks very tiring... having to focus and look at the same thing over and over again. must be straining.

dont forget to take some breaks and refresh your self

looking forward to the updates.

PN-R33- Will do!

^It's 'Skyline' in Japanese.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

WOW!

So much effort!

Your keeping the permanent marker industry in business, that's for sure.

[Black Widow]

I have to say i'm quite intrigued by this.

At first i didn't like it, but after seeing a few more pics, it's definitely growing on me.

props to you for going through with it. And thanks for keeping us updated with it. I'm sure the end result will look epic!

i've always wanted to paint a car in chalkboard paint then do flames and stuff up the side in chalk and then clear coat it, LOL

[istdercollen]

^that would be sweet!

[bluejeans]

i hope its not water-based and washes off!

[Ten Four]

Hats off to your GF. Make sure you don't crash it now...
