Project:- Make a nice looking Scion UPDATES

[TheB1GDude]

OK so this originally started off as a completely stock Scion TC that I did some bodywork to so that the standard body kit would actually look pretty good:

I pretty much got bored of it and never bothered doing anything to the rear end of the car which had been melted with a lighter by some uncaring XMOD owner!

Now skip ahead a few months and cutting a long story short - I am about to move house, I wanted to use up the last of some of my paints so I could bin them rather than move them, problem was I had no idea how much paint was left in each can.....!! :)

So I ended up using the following:

Testors Flat Grey Primer
Testors Orange Gloss enamel paint
Testors Flat Black enamel paint
Testors Clear Coat

Each one of them ran out before I was fully able to paint what I needed to! So this can isn't perfect but considering it was painted with fumes I'm pretty happy!

So without me rambling on anymore I present my updates to "Project:- Make a nice looking Scion" which will now be known as "Project:- #4 Chicken Chow Scion with a side of TC ricer" :)

So the car has a two tone orange and black base coat, orange lipped rims courtesy of Dratch and a Team XI racing chassis with Li-Ions.

As usual I was to quick with peeling the masking tape off so there is a little bit of orange peeling around the doors but I don't have any fine sandpaper to take care of this with so it will have to wait, I also have to get some more clearcoat and finish that off!

But all in all not bad for 2 days work!

Enjoy!

Really cool, I like the completely dysfunctional rear spoiler. The orange on the body and the orange on the wheels don't match on purpose?

Its a ricer man.... nothings meant to match! :)

Exactly, lol. I might experiment with a cardboard bodykit...
