hey guys. This one was a stock GTR that i thought needed some added spice.
i decided to try my hand at building a roll cage from scratch (thanks to all who offered advice on here) so it's not perfect but for my first attempt at it i'm pretty happy.. even though my 1 yr old daughter thought otherwise and "helped" daddy. after fixing that up it's coming along slowly.
just letting the body gas out after clear coating the decals and carbon hood, then i'll polish it out and hopefully by then i'll have the suspension sorted and it can go together
the little gauges, switches etc. are all scratch built. the switches(yellow) were some metal bits from the local discount electrical store.. no idea what they're for but awesome for modelling! gauges are all sprue offcuts with detail master gauge faces then a drop of clear. playing with a water filled gauge at the moment.. post it if it works out.
anyways, i'll stop babbling now.
this was my template for the cage
and my highly technical measuring device.. a piece of styrene strip and a marker!
you can see the white styrene tube running alont the roofline.. pretty close. i love eyeball engineering
as always, comments are welcome.. good bad whatever.
any advice/constructive criticism is welcome too
