Modded 1:24 Maisto Ford Explorer

OK this is my first ever mod that looks nice. All i did was add some rims to this Maisto 1:24 Ford Explorer.

I want some ideas, what can i do to it? That is beginner and user friendly :grinyes:

Beware that the pictures are not that good. The car looks better IRL

Thanks for looking at my stuffs!

Im bumping thios thread up.

I started taking it apart and thinking of possibilities

You can always do the interior (a little two tone). Something simple. :)

its an alright model .. what year is it?

Hobbes, this weekend im going to go to the target and buy a 1:24 Dub Edition and take the TVs and stuff out of it. Then i will do the two tone and stuff.

QUick nick, its a 91. We used to have a blue Ford Explorer. We sold it though =(

i never knew they made an explorer that year. just have the maisto one that is newer. did u take those rims off the porsche maisto model kit thing?

paint & lower it...

:)

beginners don't paint. it's too hard to lower maistos. this is a maisto right?

but... its about time that @gs , should start...the early the better...

:)

like i've only painted a diecast once
it turned out okay.

yeah.. i know gs.. can do this...

:)

LOL the car is a '91, the model was made newer. I found it behind a bhunch of boxes. it had been their for awhile.

Painting...... i dont know what paint to do..


and yes, its a Maisto

I LIKE IT NICE AND CLEAN :smokin:

and this is my 1/24 maisto ford explorer

those rims are nice...just lower, re-paint and its done imo...

I'v been looking at it, and you cant really lower it. If Dubs, or somone would like to take pics and show me, this car does nto look lowerable

paintint. im not so good

You don't have to do the whole interior. Just the seats. That's very simple. :)

What color should i do it in? What do i use to color it?

you should do somthing like what scarface has done thats pretty cool, i aint too keen on the colour of yours, in my eys i think a nice blue would be cool :) if you think you can do that wich you should be able to !!

Well How Is The Detail On The Inside .. Take A Few Pics For Us .. We Could Have A Better Idea With Piccs!

well lets think. it's a maisto. 1/24 detail is even worst. u do the math.

Lol Yea Thats True ... I Must Say The Rims Did Help Tho!

ok, what im gonna do is sand all the paint off, then i will take some pics. Then this weekend while im out shopping (gotta get some cothes and lights and stuff) i will get some paint and do the outside +D

For now, let me sand it. Then i will have to take some pcis of the new setup in my room. Looks hella better

ok, what im gonna do is paint the car a candy blue. Paint the interior a gun metal gray, pop the rims on and be done.

For now i have some pics.

The Interior:

The interior is horrible. The dashboard is pretty much a chunk of plastic with a sticker on it.

The back seat is kinda cool. The seat folds down =D

i remember that the newer explorer's seats fold down also. i played w/ that for a while when i was younger. ;) you don't need to sand if the paint was originolly fairly smooth. and if your gonna paint you should repaint the grille and bumpers to match the car. just a suggestion. good luck w/ the paint! i don't think you should paint the interior gunmetal grey. you should leave it as is but maybe paint inserts and detailing or something like that.

Cool. i will try that. Now that i think about it. I think that would look much better
