not the usual from u, but good nonetheless.

Thats so sweet, building it for your cousin.
Keep up the good work.

make sure you cut the front grill from the bumper, and paste it inside. I have the same problem with the Fabulous Estima kit.

i had to cut the grill and the bumper off to fit the veilside kit on. the estima is called the previa in the US.

do you guys claybar your models?

do you guys claybar your models?


what do you mean "claybar"? :?:?

A claybar shouldn't be necessary as there isn't any contamanents in the paint...ie bird droppings, raildust, environmental fallout, etc.

Mike.

Looks good. You don't see them much here.

what do you mean "claybar"? :?:?
could someone please tell me what "claybar" is...:biggrin:?

"Claybar" is used in 1:1 car detailing/cleaning. It's used to remove contaminants from paint, as mentioned above.

Here is a link the the Type i used when i worked in a detail shop.

definately would not have much of a use in modeling.

So, clay bar-ing is not necessary? Okay coool. Thanks guys.

Not unless it's been driven a couple thousand miles...

On a side note, I just claybar'd my real car. Anyone wondering about Meguiars NXT wax for their 1:1....it's awesome stuff.

Yes! The NXT is nice. Seems after I waxed my car with it...more people where looking at it...hahaha. I'm going to try it on the model when i'm done with the clear coat

heres a little teaser i guess..i had more pictures, but they came out blurry this is the only non blurry pictures.

All I need to do is apply decals and rear Lights.
What do the rear lights look like on this caR? :-p I dont know what they look like. can you guys help me out?

I think you could try to use compound to rub the black off from the pink?

what i did was i sprayed some pink on a cotton swab (q-tip) to cover it up then the black started smearing!! I was like =-o...AHHHHHHH...then i used the other side and took off the black paint...it was weird.. i still dont know what happened but it did...I still have some spots...but not as noticable. I need to go pick up some compound. This will be the first time i use it.

Thanks joecwlaw for the reply

np dude. hope you can fix it with the compound :)

You can use some tamiya smoke paint and paint the tails. Good work so far! :smile:

Awesome build!!, i have never even heard of this car before lol, for a van it looks pretty darn cool!!!
