Spanjaard Auteur@CasModeler, do you want grainy finish? I am trying not to get grainy 🙂

Spanjaard AuteurI gave it a quick polish (3M Extra fine plus). It was looking a bit better, but i was still not really happy with it... but when I put it under the tap to clean the polishing product i had a glimpse of what i am after! it was when it was covered with water, i could see a totally different thing. Much closer to what I want to get with this model 🙂. i still need to give some paint touches, polish again probably, and then, clear. fingers crossed 🙂

Spanjaard AuteurI will leave it curing during the weekend before I start sanding and polishing

Spanjaard AuteurNew layer of 2k clear and now in a closed box for a few days. Time to return to the rest of the parts.

Spanjaard AuteurThanks Dominik and Villiers, far from flawless, but at least getting something I am starting to like 🙂

Spanjaard Auteurthanks Saeed! it is getting slower and slower, i have decided to add details in the interior... maybe I am procrastinating because i do not like the sanding and polishing of the body 😛 i am also stripping the paint of the lower part, i really did not like it. more pictures to come soon....

CasModelerDid you use Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner? It helps a lot to achieve smooth surface because of retarder. Every stage of body preparing needs sand to 8000 grit paper. Air pressure should be 15 PSI paint to thinner ratio 1:1,5-2,0. It works good for me at the moment.
15 July 2023, 07:24
Spanjaard AuteurThanks, I used tinner but I guess not enough, it was pretty warm those days. Sanding and polishing up to 12000 in progress now.

CasModeler60% thinner to paint is minimum...and thinner with retarder from mr hobby. 2 of 3 coats must be heavy wet. Its extremely important.

Spanjaard AuteurCase modeller, heavy were costs with zero paints may result in models melting.

DennisTry 2k Primer. Prevents the Zeros/Number 5s/Street Blisters from eating up plastics.
19 July 2023, 12:56
Spanjaard AuteurThat is the one I am using. But I did not apply it correctly, or the paint was not done correctly (orboth)...., and after getting much better results in the second attempt on the lower part, I am stripping 2k, paint and primer. I was also tired of sanding and polishing, without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel....

Spanjaard AuteurAs Chris Taylor said.....I think, looking back, that we did not fought the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us....
In other words, it is a good kit, and I have made a ton of mistakes, making it more difficult to myself at every turn.... but I am going to finish it even if it means buying a new body.....

Scott SI am hoping the Skyline can be saved. When a paint job goes bad it's so hard to get it back to a good state. Some of these newer scale model auto paints are just too volatile for plastic, imo. Hopefully it can be recovered here, good luck.

Spanjaard AuteurThsnks, Dcott S, with the IPA bath, clear 2k, paint and primer are gine. Surgery on the broken column seems to be ok. Do it opened successfully, so it seems the patient may survive to endure new layer of paint. But I still need to work on the internal details, and pen the second part of the door

Spanjaard Auteurof course Martin. thanks Bobby for dropping by, even if this is an skyline and not an skyrice 😄 😄

Bobby ThumbsSkyrice is an Australian slang/term to describe the JDM culture in Australia. Most modded Skylines are usually driven by JDM boy racers and usually asian - therefore Skyrice - to be clear I am asian and I do not get offended by this name. Some may get offended but to me its just a name. I had a skyline back in the day and my friends called it a "Skyrice" - just australians being australian

Spanjaard AuteurThanks for the interesting info!! I really had no idea, and thought it was a type also I did not got anything when googled skyrice Google certainly doesn't know it all 🙂

BozzerNice attitude there, Bobby. When I was over in Oz, I took some flak off the locals, for what my government was doing, here in the UK. I told them, I didn't make the decisions, the politicians did? They still busted my nuts about it though. Like you said, just Aussies being Aussie. To me, it seems like we all get along together, it's just the government types, who stir up the pot? And of course, they get richer doing it! Bet none of them, make models though? 😉
