WIP: Is it possible to convert this 15+ years (at least) old junk into something that looks a bit like a model?
I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to toys probably that's why I still have this cheap friction powered suv that looks somewhat like a Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero. Do you guys think its possible give this junk a makeover and turn it into something that looks a bit decent?
No interior hence tint windows man its cheappp. You can actually see part of the friction motor thru that hole What do you guys think? Go for it or just forget it? Last edited by MPWR; 01-06-2014 at 06:11 PM. |

oh so this was the one you were referring to in your supra thread...
is this 1/24? if it is, then go for modding this (well ok, i can get lazy and this scale would give me a lot of option parts lol).

Nobody posting in this thread probably means it isn't possible to make it look like a real model kit lol. I'm begining to think that too since the quality of the plastic and the accuracy of the panel lines are so bad.

I'm interested to see what you are able to make out of this. It was awful rough to start with.

the top shot with the roof does make me agree with you that they just copied it off an existing mold (the 4 raised parts on the roof should extend more if it didn't have a sunroof).
you're definitely off to a great start

The problem is there is no headlight housing in the mold, just two big holes and the headlights are not of the right shape and they are red . I mean what were they thinking man lol? Now I have to make the clear parts myself. So hows your Pajero coming along? |

Now since I already started to work on it, I'll make sure that I properly get the job done. I have some interesting ideas for this one Raian |

I'll get this one done fast. Ran out of masking tape so used electrical tape in its place.

are you planning to use clear styrene sheets, or the plastic just like in packaging for stuff like computer mice? latest post on my thread's the most recent update. hopefully i'll start wetsanding the paintjob tomorrow to check for imperfections, then either start shooting another layer of silver, or start masking off the bottom half and spray the upper half with metallic green.

I wonder what they were smoking lol . For the head lights I actually need something thicker than the clear plastic used for packaging. Right now I can see a hand sanitizer bottle made of clear plastic beside my laptop. Probably that's what I'm going to use for making the headlights. I'll take pictures of it right now lol. The things I use and ways I follow to make parts & stuff is just weird but somehow they work. |

Masking stuff properly is kinda hard. I wonder how Chip Foose makes it look so easy, I'm a big fan of the TV program Overhaulin' btw. |
