    Skyline R34

    I managed to get a bit more done today, including putting on the colour. I the end I decided on the colour change / flip since I've never done one (in model size anyway 😉) The actual colour is SMS Galaxy, a bugger to photograph but is essentially a blue/purple shift, with other bits along the...

    The Smythemeister's Bf109 G-10

    ... Yet, no matter how small an area I'm working in, that tool I had in my hand a second ago has vanished!

    Skyline R34

    Going with the usual convention I'm getting the bodywork done first. There were a few mould seams to remove , then some of the panel gaps weren't perfect or well defined so I went around with a combination of a razor saw and fine chisels to clean them up. Then it was on with the primer...

    Paint for wheels

    That looks a lot like Hyundai performance blue, the one they put on the sporty N models

    Skyline R34

    Yeah, it looks typical Tamiya, fairly straightforward. Hardly any parts either, not like a Belkits 😂 Thanks for the suspension tip, I'll keep an eye out 👍

    Mixing materials on a diorama base, be careful!

    Often called mud drying because of how it looks. Basically the surface has dried before the underlying layers. This makes the surface inflexible, and as the substrate dries, shrinks, and generally moves around it can cause that cracking. It's a phenomenon that can be used to good effect, as...

    Skyline R34

    I only have a small place so can get away with solvent paints, whereas the bigger shops have to use water based to keep VOC solvent emissions under a certain level. But the stuff I use is fine, if you're careful. To be honest, all the car focused model paints out there, like Zero, Splash...

    Skyline R34

    Time for a busman's holiday, with Tamiyas Nissan Skyline R34 I'm already in a quandary about the colour. I've had some colour shift paint for a while, waiting for a suitable victim, but the Bayside Blue of the box art is so iconic that it's hard to ignore. It's one car that I'd love to drive...

    Thank you both. I find base work a bit messy, I end up with stuff scattered everywhere, but fun 😁

    Andy's 1/35 Tamiya Gama Goat

    The gardening is finished. I don't pretend to be great at this kind of thing but I have a lot of fun which is what it's all about. Thanks for following along and your great comments on the way, and thanks to Geoffers for coming up with this GB
