![]() 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
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Update:...ive just realized that even if i get the chassis to the right size the front tires probably arnt going to turn. i think. well i hope they turn. o well i'll just go through with the chassis extention and see what happens. Yeah, i lengthened the chassis right now and the front wheels cant turn. I'm going to have to sand some of the body ![]() Last edited by xzc426; 03-22-2008 at 11:32 PM.. |

![]() (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:
![]() Cheap and easy to make ![]()

![]() That seems like a good idea. The only xmod i have is the barricade one and it didnt come with the carrying case, but i have a bunch of hotel cards (used to collect them) i can use.

![]() 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. ![]() ps. i still have masking tape over the headlights. just so you know ![]() Last edited by xzc426; 03-23-2008 at 08:49 PM.. |
