Honda Civic Si
I went down to my local hobby store today with $49 and got me a Honda Civic Si, one of those cheap can propelled airbrushes that come with 6 acrylic colors, and steel colored enamel paint. The cars a 1/25 so im going to have to lengthen my chassis, which i have no money to do :cry: But i made the body and started to paint it for the time being. The first layer is all steel, which was less shiny than i hoped. And im thinking of putting a blue or red design on it. hmmmm red or blue? or purple? maybe even green. i like green. O, and i bought some "Sealer for Metalizer." It might sound kind of stupid but I have no idea what that is, but it looked important :lol: . some one care to explain?

Yeah, i lengthened the chassis right now and the front wheels cant turn. I'm going to have to sand some of the body :( |
hope it turns out good

didn't they have a civic xmod but yeah i wanted to make a viper on but i don't even know how to make the chasis longer
sorry for the 2x post but a dark dark purple would be cool like a royal violet or a midnight blue with red accents |

edit: ...actually i have to buy the thing to lengthen the chassis so i have to wait for shipping anyways lol |

(Not to threadjack, but) Do have/ still have your Xmods plastic case? If so, you can use it to make a custom spacer cheap. This is how I did it:

its a lot cheaper than the actual spacers looked on ebay n those things are like 8 bucks w/o shipping i think... unless that was two spacers but still!!! |
nice, worked like a charm. I only had to use the hotel card on the bottom. Thanks Chinesekid :D

Looking good !!!
I used my old hotel cards,old credit cards,and some old discount cards when I extended a evo chassie for my Mustang Boss,and I didnt like how flexable it was,so I went to makling a custom 1 outta3 evo chassie extenders.. |
how do you use the plastic to extend the chasis
|
why didnt u use spacers and do it the easy way? its much more better, but you have to have the spacers... looks good so far.
|
i got a revell model kit too, just like a couple a days ago 'cept mine was an integra and i got simalar problems. how wide is your civc body?

Update: I spray painted a dragon wing design onto the body. looks decent. only i had to do it twice because the masking tape that "won't lift paint" lifted the paint :lol: I went to my local hobby store to get some gloss so i can spray it over everything after i finished but they were closed for easter :( . I'm gonna put a little logo (also dragon wings) i made on the hood, but i ran out of blue so its gonna be either purple, black, red, or teal. Not sure which color though...suggestions? here's the logo i whipped up: http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...l/winglogo.jpg and the car http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...cbluewings.jpg |
WOW !!!!!
Looks nice,are those the colors that are going to go with the car or will you use different colors or paints??? |

ps. u guys think i should keep the windows clear, or black? Update: Ive spray painted the logo on. I mixed teal, purple, black, and leftover blue, which there was only 4 or 5 drops. It basically turned out teal :P the tape did a bit of damage to the hood again, but this time it was because i hadn't let the hood dry for long enough. Figured that enamel would dry alot quicker. i probably layered it too much at once. so here's the logo. Its a bit fuzzy all around (which im sure you can't tell because of the already fuzzy pic) but i plan on scraping off the excess teal with an exacto knife. I'm more or less finished with the body paint, i just need the gloss and maybe paint the windows black. o, and i attached the wing on the back. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...aciviclogo.jpg ps. i still have masking tape over the headlights. just so you know :D |
this one is pretty awesome i like the dragon wings and the graphics on the side can't wait to see it finished
