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 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 . some one care to explain?
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.

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 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: and the car |

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.. |
