A couple of my completed builds

[madhatter]

hey everyone This is my first post here aside from my introduction, so I should make it a decent one I suppose
I won't show my entire build history because *yawn* how boring, but here's a few of my later builds that have come out alright. Nowhere near perfect but satisfactory when compared to some of the asters around here!
So, lets start with a classic JDM machine - the mighty Skyline R34. This is the Tamiya Nismo version

You will notice a recurring item in a lot of my pictures. That is dust. No matter how hard I try to keep them dust free, it always manages to find a way to photo bomb my pics.

Next, the Aoshima R35 LB Walk (another blue car I know)

We'll change up the car and color now to the Tamiya Supra GT MK4

Since those photo I added a rear wing but I haven't taken any update shots of it - mostly because I keep forgetting to

Next, yet another Tamiya kit, this time the GMA T-50 in a colour not used by me before then

and last but not least - certainly because it's one of my favourite paint jobs - the Tamiya Ford GT

I think 3 pics of each should be enough to convey the subjects
I am open to constructive critique as I won't learn anything without it.
Thanks everyone for indulging me
See you again shortly

Came out "alright"?

I can only dream of getting that sort of finish on a car kit.

[Tojo72]

Really some excellent paint finishes

[lyle]

So, this guy from Australia joins and post pictures of real cars?

Wow, madhatter, those are spectacular builds! Beautiful.

and, yes, I’m a bit off center at times.

[handiabled]

Love the Supra! What are you using for paint and clear coat on these? The finish on all of them is outstanding

[madhatter]

Lol, thanks everyone!
The paint varies from Tamiya, Gunze through to Zero but the clear coats are usually SMS 2k

[dupes]

Whoah. Hot builds! Really like that R35.

YES. All of these are so nice. I need to know what kit that Supra is, or where you sourced that wide body kit. 

[70 STING]

Excellent!  And welcome aboard.

[keavdog]

Great stuff!

[madhatter]

"need to know what kit that Supra is, or where you sourced that wide body kit"

It's the Tamiya Supra GT kit. It comes like that as standard out of the box. Tamiya want you to paint it white with castrol logos all over it. I say nah, paint it however you like. In my case, it was pink primer overcoated with Alclad Candy red. In the sun it looks so deep and lush.

Now that's an entrance. Beautiful group

[cbaltrin]

Very nice builds madhatter !

[madhatter]

Thanks guys. Ive just realised I forgot to add pics of my SF90. I shall amend that later

[Leon]

Those are some great looking builds and nicely done!

[sharp]

Great looking builds! Love the colors!

[kyledehart5]

Holy cow. Those are some stunning builds!! Absolutely awesome work. Beautiful color choices too

[Steve Zuleski]

Beautiful work, Simon.

[fox]

Outstanding work!     

Question. By any chance do you do 1/1 cars too??? My Prius could really use a new coat. 

Stay safe.

[madhatter]

LOL - maybe I should, but alas no.
Thanks for the kind posts guys
