Global Scale Modeller

This is a build I'm doing for a local contest. I didn't take any pics when I started to build it so this is all I have so far. The body needs to be scrub to get the sanding dust off of it and then primer and paint.

Never built cars in my life. Looking forward to seeing this one painted. Are you going to be doing this as a clean build or doing any weathering/wear on her?

Cheers and thanks for sharing

Looking good so far!

Nice to see a car in the mix. A mate of mine had a Skyline for years and he love that car so when im skilled enough I am going to do one and give it as a gift which he'd love.

Can't wait to see the finnished article! What have you got to do next in the build?

Nice work so far, it's not easy doing a perfect car body at all.

Thanks for the comments! I have thought about doing some weathering but unsure about what/how much to do. I want to make it look like its been used but not driven thru a field

I really only have the body to prime and paint then the huge sheet of decals to apply, hopefully they dont disintegrate because they were all cracked and I applied some decal bonder to them to hopefully save them. If they break apart its gonna be a bad day in the cave.

Yeah doing a car body is tough, you try to get everything perfect but something almost always gets in the paint, since this is gonna be black and covered by decals anyway I think I'm going to use black primer and then clear over it then apply the decals.

These are all the decals I have to apply to the car

All them decals that's going to be fun mate sooner you than me

Good luck with those decals mate, the look like trouble

Yeah good luck with the rest of build! Please post some pics of your progress. Thanks!

Looking good.
for the weathering you could just grime up the body by the exhausts, that always adds realism.
I have seen good results with the tamiya weathering master powders.
the D set is best for auto as it has burnt blue, burnt red and oil stains so you can do ya exhaust as well.

This is what I have spent most of Sunday doing. The decals are going on decent but some are cracking when removed from the backing . Slow work and take lots of breaks.LOL

Looking good! That must of taken some Patience to work with all them decals!.

Great job with those decals :thumb2
