Default New Brickyard car!

HAA, Made ya look! But I did get my new brickyard Tamya model today. The pics make it look black and I couldn't get my old digital to capture the metallic sparkle that you can see in person. The guy who made it for me used the actual Nissan paint code for brickyard and it really looks cool!

He even made a little rear spoiler and splashguards for me to match my Track. Unfortunately no Rays to use in the model kit

2/ same question... but you were a Z fanatic and recognized the car model as a Z ??

Looks great Bonz!! I too ordered the Brickyard and love it. I must say however, the door handles sure find ones eye quickly.

Drive a tight line

Can't believe you're actually getting the brickyard. I thought you said Brickyard was the number one cause of syphillis?

Wow, he did a great job painting that. Not just matching the color, but also how smooth it came out.

Well Done, Great color. I Love Tamiya models, have for years, infact my first tamiya model was a 1989 Nissan 300 ZX Fairladay, and 10 years later I bought the car for real. I know the Tamiya 350 Z model is available in the states for around $25 bucks + paint and glue. Anyone thought of painting the model car in one of those dupont chromalusion colors, that would look awesome.

I actually thought about that as I was lying basically face down in my driveway with my camera right up against the model. Any time I heard a car coming I jumped up and pretended to be playing with the camera controls!

Pat: This was a Tamiya model from Japan. I got it on e-bay for about $22 plus shipping. I think the strictlyz website had them for awhile as well. You can probably pick them up at hobby shops too. The guy is a patient of mine who is a brittle diabetic. I had to amputate his leg last year but he is doing really well now with his prosthesis. He does this both as a hobby and professionally. He takes his models to shows and wins all kinds of awards.

Roux: This car is only about 3 or 4 inches high so at 5'10" you shouldn't have any problems seeing over it.

Finally Robbyn: It isn't syphillis, it's hemorrhoids!!!

One more pic to try and show the color better (MAN look at that shine......must have used ZAINO!)
