thats in direct light

I'll update this thread regularly, im kinda stuck right now because i cant find the rest of my paintbrushes so im limited as to what i can do right now :(

I like the first kit!

I like the first kit!
Agreed, That front end has some style to it. :cool:

yeah go with the first

This one is going to look sweet, I don’t see too much though I glanced at the two but I like the secant one more.

I like the 1st kit a lot. What is the name of the color you are painting it? And what airbrush do you use to spray those?

-Chris

im leaning towards the first kit a lot. I use a testors airbrush, and the paint is just called purple on the bottle. Also the spokes on my wheels are being painted gold right now actualy.

Hi Josh, if ya anything as good as pixeling as you are at modelling...I know this will be awesome.

I prefer the top kit too, more depth. Go for it!

This is going to be a cool build. I personally like the second body kit, but it looks like the first one would be easier to do. I have seen alot of Origin's stuff in magazines and just about all of their bodykits look nice.
Gotta love the Volk wheels also!

i was up late last night workin on the suspension and painting some of the interior. I also got around to painting the spokes on the rims gold

Theres one of the wheels, im almost done with them, i'll probably lay another coat of gold on and paint the centercap along with the rest of the rim. The lip is staying silver though, i wish i had some chrome :lol:

I like that first bodykit to.

Nice start!

If you are building the body kit I wouldnt paint a single thing until you are absolutely complete with building and sanding. You will scratch, cut, and chop painted parts.

the only thing i painted is in the pictures. Dont worry mike im being very carefull on this.


heres some pics of my rear bumper. I ran out of putty on this so now i need to go out and get me some new stuff. Whats the best you guys know of?

wow, your using bondo?
You should get some .020 styrene, Tamiya basic type putty (for filling in little holes), & Tamiya epoxy putty: quick type (for larger areas).
My suggestion if you cant find these products is to use very little bondo, and more plastic. You'll end up with sharper lines if you use plastic sheets. Other than that good start, Wish you luck with this one.

Yea unfortunately all i have left is bondo from the modifiers days. I never got around to getting some good stuff. Where can i pick up some plastic sheets?

look around in your local hobby shop for plastic sheets. i've made mistakes by using too much putty and not enough plastic, so i recommend you try to build a basic shape or guideline with the plastic and then putty it up to get some curves and whatnot.

will do, i can easily get rid of all the bondo on the bumper, i'll go out to my hobby shop probably tonight to get some. along with putty

form you lhs tell them to order you some .20-.40 inch styrene sheets there like 5 bucks for 5 sheets

Got me the Tamiya epoxy putty and some styrene sheets...except i messed up and got some fairly thick ones, but at least im only on the rear bumper and i'll really only need the smally styrene for the front bumper. Im also thinking about doing an extended hood. Similar to my pixelcar in my sig. I'll get pics up in a second of the rear bumper to far.

Double post time

heres the begginings of my rear bumper, it still needs putty on the sides and lots more sanding to get it to perfection.

Im very happy with how easy the tamiya epoxy putty is to use. I'll deffenitely use it more and more.

Very cool! You're on the right track.

Very cool! You're on the right track.

thanks, unfortunately when i bought the styrene i got one thick piece instead of 4 thin ones, so now i have to go out and buy more styrene :icon16: i'll defenitely need the thin styrene for the front bumper.

Lookin good....
