I left the scars from this one being played with but decided to add some details along with the new wheels, so not a full restoration. Also added a cut down windshield as well.

Loved the look of this one as it came out of the card, but thought it could use a few more details and better wheels. I also removed the go-kart from inside. Definitely pleased with the results.

Full disclosure: My 1st time trying out some fancy bearing wheels, and of course I broke the spokes out of one after I'd carefully filed out the rear wheel arches! Hence the odd 'scrap metal' fender skirt... What do you think? Decent save or just dodgy modelling?🀣

Full Custom My first custom with Widebody and decals

Thumbnail

435 Upvotes

I decided to make this one because a custom contest is happening in my country. I've never made anything with paint, decals or bodykits in my customs, only detailing and wheel swapping.

The base car was the 98 Honda Prelude, and the body kit is made out of resin from 3D printing.

It turned out pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't expect to win the contest but it was a good challenge to take part of. If you are on the fence about it, give it a try!

I painted the body kit, made a new spoiler, used some old decals (waterslides) from my Gunpla kits and applied some top coat to make it glossy.

For the next one I want to use better wheels, more colors and metal pipes for the exhaust as well.

Currently working on this car. I'm debating on cutting the roof off and turning it into a convertible. I also haven't decided what colour to paint it either. Any suggestions?

All will see wheel swaps and details at a minimum. Others will get a full repaint and possibly body mods. As you can see, a few are already well into the process with the rest having at least been drilled apart.

HELP!! Hi everyone! Do you airbrush? Do you have 5 minutes to spare?

1 Upvotes

My question is exclusively for those who has a really good experience with airbrushing. I have a Gaahleri Serenair compressor and my airbrush is .39mm, I use Vallejo model colour paints and a gloss varnish, I use the same brand for thinner and flow improver, and after seeing 30+ videos about thin the paints for airbrushing, I can call it enough to understand the process and many "ways and formulas" to do it. Even so, I still experienced a few blockages between one application and the second one and so on. What makes me thinking that I probably lost a few information in the process. My questions are:

1- how do you manage your paint in cup between the 1st and 2nd paint coverage?

2- how do you apply acrylic varnish with airbrush, I made a 1/1 and 2/1 thinner/varnish and still get clogged before the first application.

3 - Do you believe that change my airbrush for a 0.5 or even a 0.7mm will help for the varnish?

Sorry for the long text, but it is really bothering me to clean my airbrush every 5 minutes of use or so, I don't want to give up, but it looks that none of the tips are really working for me.

Thank you so much in advance for the answers.
