Nissan Skyline - The Snow White

[Edward Chew]

Ok. This is the Tamiya Nissan Skyline GTR V-spec II which i have been desperately looking for at many places.
This car "finish" on day 2. Day 1 was ok, i enjoy doing it, peacefully... Day 2, Oh. I feel cramp, exhausted.
I have to stop here cause i don't have the paint now and not going to paint it in the near future, or..... until i finally own one of this. hehe. And painted it with the same colour as the real one.
As you can see, there are no stickers on the car, because there is no sticker in the box. ( hmm, might be stolen ) but you might be spotted a tape on the edge of the hood. Yup. I use double sided tape to build the car because i expect to disassemble it in the near future, so it will be easier then.
The 3rd day, is the photography session. It was a frustrated one. The parts and tires keep on falling off. Very sad. And there was something wrong with the camera, wrong focus this and that. Until i don't have the mood to do the editing properly. hehe.
So, here it is...

Does this look better????

This looks even better.

You want to do this? Want me do for you? No problem... Very easy. I do it for free.

That's the fatty senior. A RC actually.

And the 3rd one is the beast. Got one more senior was too big to be here. haha

bro Edward.. want to ask u.. all this own build model u guys have to do the paint job ur self??? then how u guys gonna spray on it?? or just like do colouring on it only?? where to buy the paint le??

 

[Edward Chew]

Ha??? I thought you are a very serious car builder. haha. So, all cars you bought before already painted ah?
Some models already painted actually.
Wanna spray, buy the spray from toycity lo, if want the good quality. Cost RM29.90. 100ml if not mistaken. If not, the RM10 spray from hardware shop might do. hehe. But must be very careful.
You can ask Imoloq, he's pro. hehe

But somehow i like it to be white colour too because it looks like a GHOST beside the coloured cars. haha
I saw 1 of this display at toycity, painted with bayside blue but doesn't look that nice, but the real car with bayside blue looks nice. haha

nice edward... why not step into airbrush world....

 

[Edward Chew]

Ha... Airbrush ah. Dam expensive la. The Pump is RM700 right? Then the sprayer RM300??? Last time i was in a competition, i don't even wanna try the airbrush la, scare nanti the tiny hole stuck with colour nanti kena scold. haha. So, i get the paint from hardware shop. The result can be as good. hahahaha. Skill.

These handy 23ml bottles of paints for hobby use are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are completely safe. Can be used on most common model plastics such as styrol resin and styrofoam. Paint can be washed away with plain water if done prior to curing. Available in glossy, flat, translucent colors, plus an exclusive thinner and a flat base.

hi
those hardware shop
RM 5 to RM 10 (depend on the type )
can be use. i am using those spray cans and till now i never have chemical reactions that happen and melt the plastic . however be careful , they are thick and remember to control the nozzle and wetsand and polish and you can get the effect like hobby can spray.
and the paint is easy to strip compare to tamiya one..

 

[Edward Chew]

My cousin's one melt... on the side. haha. He thought why that part looks weird one, he touch it, pok..... when through. haha.
Ya. Using those spray really need to be careful, if not, the spray will be too much, thick and easily feel off once tear it with tape. So, make it thin layer by thin layer.
