Model ice

anyone got any ideas for some ice (subs-amp..etc.) to put in the back of my tamiya nissan 350z

(as in how to make them) prefferably without the use of styrophone because i can't really get it veryeasily..and i'm skint

it's actually called stryene, but it's cool.

I'm not sure how to build them, but I do know some 1:18 scale Dub City cars and trucks come with tons of subs and amps, especially the Astro van. Maybe you could swipe some out of one of those. (after you bought it of course.... ;) )

oh, and welcome to AF, if you haven't already got that....

Some ideas for ya:

Buy "distributing box" from your hardware shop and cut off the "Sub-looking like things" where the cable shoul go throught.

Heres one kind off subs taken from one kind distributing box in my
"Hifi van":

IMO The only thing to use is www.hoppinhydros.com because subs are hard to make and its not worth it to go thru hella work just to get alright looking subs. But I agree about the Dub City cars

In Distributing box they look like real subs, you dont have to modify them. Thats why i took subs from distributing box. And it cost like 2euros/3dollars. Its cheap, in distritubing box are like 12 "subs".

i wanna scratch build them though, i'm thinkin some sort material (as in wood..plastic) and i use a compass on it..to scratch in the indentations..

What about a nitrous tank though..any tutorials (i've looked but can't find any)

upside down subs look sweet check out the ones i am casting http://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/502/155034P7060203-med.JPG

how'd you make those (as in what procedure)

umm i cast them in resin?

nah..i mean did you make the original sub..or did it come in a kit.. or what?

i've started to make some upside down subs..i got the brakes from the back and cut em up..i'll post sum pics in a minute

Man, for all the trouble your gonna go through you could just spend $3-5US for a set of awesome Hoppin' Hydros subwoofers.

If it doesn't have to have that much detail, sometimes I like to cut stuff out of magazines and just glue them to a box, then airbrush some shadows around it and stuff. A bunch of my friends thought that it looked pretty real.

you could also paint/modify some small suction cups
