WIP Hotwheels Custom Honda Civic 2001 TEIN version

After the long holidays, it's time now back to usual custom.

A friend of mine asked me whether i can built custom Hotwheels 2001 Honda Civic SI in the TEIN version as he had seen my latest custom 06 Civic SI TEIN version. I'm not sure, because the overall casting might not results look really as good as the 2006 version. Anyway, here's the WIP to see whether these version will be much better.

the original paint has been removed

the rear standard wing has been cut off.
a new scratch built rear GT spoiler on the rear , not bad looking.
view from the rear side
now for the lower front skirting, measurement and cutting in process
this how it's look beneath the casting.
thanks for looking, will upload the complete custom soon.

Complete Custom Gran Turismo Nissan Skyline R34

These are the favourites custom casting that every one is doing now. Here's mine to roll out from my garage.These take a long time to post as due to few factors below.

First,the decals design took me almost 3 weeks to refine to the final stage.

Second, these are the first batch of custom Gran Turismo R34. It takes longer time than expected to complete due to many layers of color masking and heavy decals works all round the casting, and really can't rush to complete it because it will disrupt the consistency of the quality works.

Third,another upgrade to the current Gran Turismo are added roof light bar and metal antenna and matt black wheels with rubber tyres, the rest are standard with black Speed Machine's co-mo wheels.

here's the pictures, presenting Custom 1/64 scales Hotwheels Nissan Skyline R34 gran Turismo.

With standard variant..

All the custom are safely placed inside folderbox, ready for delivery.

Here's the comparison to my Autoartmodels Gran Turismo R34 1/18 scales.
