Well, I'm stranded at home because of the rail strike @ Southern Railways, so I have decided to use my time constructively - not only doing DIY! ^_^
I'm calling my Skyline finished, unfortunately I ran into a bit of bother with the decals - a silly mistake, but I don't think that they actually detract too much from the finished kit. I used a few after market bits just to give it a little more ooomph! The PE hood pins were something - lost two just trying to handle them!! >
The safety harness was another head scratcher but I managed to implement it along with the driver.
I figured how to put the bounce into the build and give the car a dramatic pose in a static position. The base I think is probably the best part of the build and one needs a nice setting for the kit, otherwise at times they just look a little lost. o.O
Its been at least 25yrs since I last built a car, it's been a challenge to some degree. I still need to figure out this gloss coat malachy but I'm still quite chuffed with the end product, so I hope you like it?
