ER34 Blitz

you still need the B-pillar where the first door ends and the second door begins.

@ XMDrifter
- thanks for reminding me. xD. i forgot i had them lying around.
im not done with it though, but here's the start of it. still gotta get the trim around it.

[Rovonic]

It`s coming along very nicely.

[XMDrifter]

no problem, flip.

the b-pillars look nice. the passenger side one needs to be half a millimeter shorter. and the b-pillar edges need some light sanding to round it off a tiny bit. how about gettin' some clear packaging plastic (like, the plastic that the bodykits come in) and cuttin' some windowglass? have like, the 2 front ones rolled down, and the back windows all the way up. it'll look cool.

[Kot]

for the window glass, im still deciding whether or not ill do it.
i need to get a two-cell tray rather than using one cell alone.
then i'd need to see if it'll fit in the sense that it wont peek out of the
windows. as you can see, i cant cover the rear windows cuz of my 5th cell
upgrade. but for now, ill keep that optional until i find a spare two-cell tray.


here, i just smoothed out the window lines at the bottom (the top can be puttied)
very very slow work, as im working on an actual blitz skyline model (2005 Aoshima)

looking great!

[XMDrifter]

put the 5th cell length-wise. then it wont stick out the windows.

[Kot]

^ i would if i had some spare wires in handy. i know it works tho :P
i lost my stash of wires (N).

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

you could use a paper clip until you find your wire stash, or a twist tie and if you're really ghetto, like i was when i was young, use tape and aluminum foil!

Slow & tedious work pi**es me off. D:
Im low on epoxy putty, so i got my hands on Tamiya white putty.
IMO, not the best to use as it feels like its more time consuming. i recommend
Tamiya epoxy putty as its much easier to work with as it cures, and yeah...less tedious.

small update: since rear bumpers of the sedan and coupe have different body lines,
i filled up the gap, sanded, and made the proper body lines.


dont mind that supra. :3 JGTC ftw.
AND YES, that is XMS on the comp. screen LMAO.

C&C welcome!

[winner]

looks amazing! i love everything about this project!

[Kot]

update: rear bumper's taking shape!


(the paint makes the line look distorted.)

(reference pic from uras)

[Kot]

double post. kill me. :P

here's the rear bumper. just needa make a rear diffuser now


Also, I've become sick of a non-existent and extremely flat and plain sideskirt,
so i finally manned up and got started on new ones.

[texan_idiot25]

Looks awesome so far. The doors have come out AWESOME. G;ad tp see some more shaply sideskirts too.

[Hemikid]

I greatly admire your skill, I have never seen anyone attempt a blitz skyline that's actually a four door! Looks like a lot of work is going into this build. The new side skirts look way better than the old ones, honestly I am very glad you changed them.

[Kot]

Another quick update.

my doors needed more...touching up. so i went ahead and did it.
and sideskirts are 90% done! putty and paint soon.


also, if i havent said this before, thanks for the feedback & comments!
much appreciated

[Kot]

Last update for a while maybe. School starts next week.

[Hemikid]

Man that looks good the body looks so smooth and I love the rear bumper you made!

[Kot]

UPDATE!
sorry if its been a long time (not that it may have had any significant negative impact on their lives), but final year in hs. gotta start well haha.

anyways, i havent done much with the skyline.
GOOD IDEA / BAD IDEA? i cut out the headlamps. imo, its cleaner.

(i want an r33. would make the family look great. )

i also decided, once again, to go spoilerless, and continue with the little details on the rear half. (license plate border kinda thing...and rear fender side creases..)


i have yet to make the rear diffuser. D:

C&C welcome!

[123Vette]

whatre you gunna do for headlights...? then we can judge if it wasa good idea or bad idea...
