Putty Work: Scion tC Edition

[taiwanesekid05]

I'm just testing out some putty here, getting used to it. So, I somewhat lowered the front lip of the pretty high Scion tC.





At about 3.5 mm off the ground, it's pretty **** low. A bit too low.



There's nothing much else going into this. Just a few more bits of putty to fix a few minor things, some primer, and it's going in for a beating.

I like that man it looks good.

[DrIfToRDIe]

Man,perfect work for a beginner bro!It looks UB3R sm00th.But hey can you get a side picture for me?The lip looks a tad to big.

[Tmaxxn3]

yeah petty good just dont get carried away driving it and crack it off man.

Beginner... Hah, it looks great. I think you should continue and do some work on the side skirts and rear bumper.

I agree with xmodkid

[fieldfairy2]

very nice. i would suggest using a broken dremmel cut off wheel or a toothpick to get the putty out of the grill. Keep it up. I like.

edit: is that all putty, or is there some styrene or other material?

That came out great and looks really smooth.

I would, but this is a beater body... So I didn't want to spend my time makin some side skirts and a rear bumper for this body. I have another Scion for that...

The bottom part is Styrene. The rest is all putty.

[imnotmikal]

Man, that is smooth.
I love it.
Don't kill it!

Wow you have good skills with putty.

No tengo dinero.

I'll probably do a styrene project once I've got a few extra dollars (like 15 or so...)

No tengo dinero: I have no money I can translate!! sorry i had to do that.

i was thinking of doing a styrene project.. . Are you going to enlarge the grill or anything? Paint?

[taiwanesekid05]

No... The only thing I'm doing is a layer of primer paint. Nothing real special. Only because it's going onto my beater body (It's origianlly part of my beater body...)

[taiwanesekid05]

Nearly done!




Got it smoothed down.

I accidentally dropped the body, so the whole thing fell off. I super-glued it back on so it'll be ready for primer soon.

[xmodkidd33]

****, that thing is smooth! What grits did you use?

[fieldfairy2]

Very nice work. Once the putty is shiny you know it is ready for paint, unless there is imperfections that you can easily see. Can't wait for the primer. One even color for the whole car lets you really see the putty work.

[stangdude94]

WOW nice putty work!!

what kind of putty is it??

[theruns]

dam! r u planning on changing the rest of the body kit?
