Hi guys...

Very new in forum. So this was my first post for SMM.
I start with Nissan Skyline GTR KenMeri for base model.


The model from fujimi.


I start by lowering the front suspension since the stance look to high at the front. Cut the suspension and make the tube slave to lock it back to the place.








Dry fit test... Ok... Nice ^_^

That's all for now.. More will coming...

Wah... looking good bro... you're using that rim for the car or it is just a mock-up?

Yes... using that rim for this girl... Kasi bikin macam muscle car skit... hehehe :D

Cool... can't wait to see this thing completed. Show the engine lah weiii!!!!... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nanti esok malam kasi up... hehehe

Some update....


Front lip scoop or diffuser ?.


Front suspension done 2nd time lowed... Ok... Done..


Hood operable since it have engine under it.


Engine part prime with silver prime..


Done paint job for engine and install cable plug.


Triple Webber and cable attach to distributor done.


Tide up cable...

Komen & tunjuk ajar para sifu dialu-alukan... :lol:

encik buah pinggang,sungguh indah enjin mu itu..kaler body bright orange dgn stripe hitam musti garangz ni..
err,klau bonet standard xbukak,kasi scribe la,supaya leh tayang enjin..

encik mumtaz mengganas... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjin punya bonet boleh bukak... Since kit ni ada enjin so kasi tayang skit... hehehe... kaler body dia hijau gak... heheheh :lol:

Ehh... kantoi... mana ada mengganas... biasa jer... hehehe :P

Hahahaha.. Mumtaz dah kantoi... Cubaan untuk men"stealth"kan diri anda tidak berjaya.

Bro, the "trumpet" face is curved inside or flat? If it is flat, better drill some holes bro...

Takleh nak buat apa... dikenali gak... hahahha

Trompet tu dia curve kedalam... so nampak real skit la... Tapi trompet tu separate part dari carburator.. bleh drill skit kasi dalam lagi kot kalau nak... :)

btul tuh,kasi lubang itu trumpet,baru ade bunyi..errr,lg satu kipas radiator tu klau kasi nipiskn lg ketebalan blade nya pon cun jgak...

Ingat nak buat gak camtu tapi masih dalam proses pembelajaran... mintak yg akan datang nanti bleh buat camtu... ^_^

Ok.. sorry all for delay since I have side project have to be done.. <_<

Ok the update. Since the kit come with the engine, so the hood need to be open.


Last 240zl project the hood have been done with the hinge so this time must be slightly easy.



The hood have been cut of already but some mistake have done but never mind.. proceed to do it.


Plaplate, styrene rod, styrene or plastic tube that can incert the rod in it.


I cut it & shape it like this.


Will look like this when it done.


The tube stick in it to make as slot hinge.


The hood set it proper before attach the hinge.


Slot the rod & glue it to the hood.


The task have done... :lol:

Thank you all and please drop the comment... :D

Sungguh bernas idea mu itu tentang pembikinan ..bonet itu....ibu jari ku di angkat ke atas.. ;) ;)

Good job on the hinges bro... boleh tiru ni... :D

As for the engine bay detail, add some more lah... here's an example of the engine bay (although it is from the Kyosho toy, you can make a reference from this). Here is another website showing more detailed view of the engine that you can use as reference. :D

hinge & hood fitting looks great! btw, what is that black plastic material from? looks like some hard plastic ^_^

Thanks bro.. :) ... that black hard plastic also styrene plaplate... purchase at multifilla. Used it since the hood I want to paint in black & do CF decal... ^_^

Pengalaman buat bonet utk dua bijik 240Z... Nasib jadi elok ikut measurement. :P

Just small update. The exhaust have change a bit since the appearance look almost like muscle car


Normal will be like this


However for this, i cut a it and redirect at a side of the car.


Second layer primer done. Next step will be 1 white layer, then will prime 1 silver layer before done with Metallic Green.


The hood will be in black since I will apply CF decal on it..

Ok. That all. Thanks for viewing. Please drop any comment... ^_^

Have been a week I not update the progress... Here some of the work done before gone for holiday...


This should be the reference as my inspire..


To make the green color more appear, I spray 1 wet layer of white.


This green used Mr. Hobby clear green + bright green + pearl powder. But appear not to very striking.


So to make it more appear, I mix some Tamiya candy green lime with previous color. Look more promising :P


the interior also done with some green trim. Try to achieve ABS Plastic effect for dashboard and some plastic part. The seat & door trim try to achieve leather look.. Need some a bit touch up and it will done... ^_^

Ok... that is for now... Thanks for viewing.
Appreciate all the comment from all Sifu's.... :lol:

Mumtaz,

If U daring to try, spray silver then clear green then pearl powder, this will achieve the kind of green in the picture :P

Thanks bro... Will try to another future built... :)

I will do that for my coming build.. :P

wahhh broder vince, new technique. I have to try this.

Great progress broder ^_^

Thanks bro... ;)

its the first time i'm seing the kenmeri in this color. Will you be adding the black stripes as well?

Don't know yet bro... but the flare & lips spoiler will be in flat black.. that for sure... :D

Bro, same applies to red color too. I tried on my Ferrari F430 before and it does look much better but be careful 'coz the silver surface is not rough enough for adhesion of your color of choice and eventually will come off if you apply masking tape when painting window trim..



so the risk is there..

Thanks bro... I will look on it & try to be careful with it. :D

some update on the WIP



The tub was done..


The hood have used CF decal small size from Hobby Design. Ok.. look nice... :)


The skyline emblem paint used Gaia note bright silver.. used gundam gray panel line pen to highlight a bit more the silver.


2nd layer clear coat... test to see on the fitting.. look ok over all..


Paint signal in amber color and have done the engine bay detailing. Sorry for blur picture.. :(


Highlight the detail... Engine bay task complete... ^_^

That's all for now... Enjoy :D
Appreciate all the comment from all sifu.

didn't actually think that in this color it would look fierce. You've nailed it ;) I would recommend you to add on bonnet pins to make it look more fierce, just my thoughts ^_^

click me

are you going to patch up black color for the inner part of the front hood? if you leave it to display with the hoods oppened, its going to potong stim a bit hehe :P

Thaks for sharing

Yes bro... Thinking & sellect the material right now since the inner silver paper of cigarette quite hard to find, so need to see what material can stimulate heat cover... Even look it very ugly if I let it like that with out anything to cover it... :lol:

Welcome bro... :)

Small update on the WIP..


Piping done weathering... Thing maybe over do it. But since it direct shootout, think should be ok lah... (I think..!!!!) <_<



Black trim done... A little bit touch up and it will done..

That's all for now... Enjoy :rolleyes:
