Honda S-MX

After a whole day I decided to build a Honda S-MX beside the BRZ (i still need to start that...).

It's a fun easy kit I think, but I want to do something different with it.

The original wheels are very boring and totally not my taste. I hate 3 spoke wheels. So decided to take the wheellips from a Fujimi Wire wheelset and the spokes from a Daihatsu Copen modelkit. The tyres are way to wide, I need to make them smaller off course!

I wanted a very unique color for this car. I choosed Neon Pink Metallic from Zero Paints. I had this color in my stash way too long cause I never found a good model for this color. Now it's time!! I'll also use my selfmade stickerbomb decals and some other cool decals I made recently.

Kris the wheels will fit this build perfectly!!

Today I started to make the stretch tyres with the help of Mad's how to.

This is the result. I'm very pleased and will do this again on my future projects.

Oh boy! This is going to be a lot of fun! I love fun little projects like this. I can't wait to see what happens next.

That's gonna be one sick build! Stance looks on point. I like where this is heading...

Looking good kris.

First I primered the body:

Followed by a couple layers of gloss white.

And finally the Neon Pink Metallic. Awesome color!

And I also added the stickerbomb decals on a few bodyparts.

Wow!! That color really pops... Looks incredible!! Fantastic update!!

Been waiting for the colour to be painted, looks INSANE! Love it, suits the car perfectly!

Keep the updates coming :D

Oh yeah, that looks cool.

Nice! Fun builds are always more enjoyable!!!
Always wanted to see what that Neon Pink Metallic looks like on a car, im sure the pics dont do justice to how bright it really is. Cant wait to see more!

Looking good!

I painted the windowtrims and windows on the body.

I also painted the wheels in metallic blue and they need to be clearcoated soon.

Im totally digging this, the stickerbomb decal is TN.

Not much done lately but I added the painted windows and the glasses on the lights. I also added a few more decals.

Now it's time for the chassis and fitt the wheels.

Kris.

Very cool, I've got some left over decal sheet. I'm gonna print some sticker bomb now lol.

While I'm busy with my other hobbies, I did spent some free time on the Honda. I want to finish it meanwhile....

First I started with the interior. I used Pink and German Grey (tamiya) paints for the interior and matt clear to reduce the shine.
I used green interiorflocking on the floor. I think it's totally wrong but that's just what I was aiming for.

A few interior accesoires are putted in to complete the interior.

Fitting the wheels was pretty hard, but I finally managed to get them in position with the right negative camber. The chassis got wheatered and I made a custom exhaust from aluminium tubing. A bit of Boso style.

Meanwhile it's finished, so I'll shoot some final pics of the result soon.
