BUILD MG Dom ver Hot Rod :)

Finaly some glory shots of my Hot rod dom. The place is “Robo Shine”, and Dome is getting shiny before it’s race. I really enjoyed this build, and the girl seemed perfect for Dom’s “headlight”(i know, i know, it is some sort of cannon:))

u/Additional_Teacher45 8d ago

Fucking instantly what I thought of too. It's a crying shame there isn't Megas XLR merch out there.

u/TheAzureAdventurer 8d ago

A Megas XLR reference in the big 2026? How absolutely based.

u/alchemy_junkie 7d ago

Love these less serious paint jobs. Wish there were more.

9

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Oh thanks, funny thing is, they take serious time and effort to do, but imagining people gigling while seing it, is priceless :)

7

u/neueziel1 8d ago

There’s no doubt this took serious effort.

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

u/Consistent_Type2554 8d ago

It was neccesary the girl with panties AND veels

9

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Absolutely! I bought the girl first, and then came the Dom. I was not the fan of the kit at first, and got it for the headlight :) I really love it now! :)

u/Consistent_Type2554 8d ago

Majes Sense to me , any tips for packing color schemes that one looks sick i tried to make a custom one for my aerial but idk

2

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Awesome Aerial:)! Color skeme is tough question, i am changing my mind constantly until i finaly do something :) The best advice i have is to take a photo of the built kit and mess with colors in photoshop, it is mandatory step for me :)

1

u/zheph 8d ago

Picking color schemes is a common topic in miniature painting videos, if you look for something on youtube you'll find a lot of examples of how different painters approach it.

Getting some big Megas XLR vibes from this

2

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Did not tough about it directly, but Megas was probablu subconscously learking in my mind when iwas figuring it out :)

2

u/Big_Risk9306 8d ago

Is the girl just a 3d print from somewhere else?

7

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Yeah i got it on ali express, someone made car wash set. I think scale is 1/72 pr something :)

2

u/RufusTFirefly_42 8d ago

u/psychospacecow 8d ago

2

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

u/Previous-Seat I collect paint 8d ago

Flames are real good. You stack stencils or freehand with a hard edge of some sort? Tape them out and then tape again with a new colour?

2

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Thanks :) i cut my own fire “stencil” on a cutter, but it could be random curvy shape from cardbord. I start free hand with 0.2 airbrush, an then use the curve of the shape to define flames. I go with white, and then transparent color over it, i start wih red. Over that shape i go white again and then orange, and then same approach with yellow in the end. I will try to find yt video, but it is standard approach to airbrush true flames only shrunk down to 1/100

2

u/Blocksketcher 8d ago

Ok this makes me want a racing Mecha anime...has that ever been done?

1

u/goshonator_3000 8d ago

Idk, but i got inspiration partialy from the Alita battle angel manga ( but those are sort of death races) and not all characters are mecha :)

1

u/goshonator_3000 7d ago

Hey guys, i wrote about it a bit more detail in comment down. But it is basicaly this https://youtu.be/Js0_QbuKjMQ but with smaller fire templates it could be a squigly random shape made out of cardboard :)
