Hey! well. Bit about me, im 14 and have only recently got back into modeling, i use to do it all the time when i was younger, but i rushed them and well... you know the outcome.
I recently bought a AE86 Levin Coupe and started work on it, and as my budget is fairly low, i dont have enough money for the essentials (Airbrush, paints, sand paper, Putty)
Well, im not exacly rushing this and im not doing a fantastic job either. After an hour or two of fidgeting trying to get the front suspension setup right to make the wheels move i finaly got it. (I swear you needed 3 hands for that part)
Anyway, here it is.

I was thinking of doing it panda style, and i was thinking what the best way to go about it would be?
Leave it the white, and do the black in a brush? Or should i spray paint the body white then do it?
(As i said, not exacly enough money for primer and stuff)

Sure does, sadly.
As i said, its just my first model ive done for years that doesnt have 10 tons of glue on 1 piece with paint on the wind shield :lol:
Im just going to do i Panda for now, and later on when i get some money ill go out and get primer, and some red paint (bleeding panda rocks)

Thanks. I just realised i need Orange and Red paint, the taill lights are clear! :banghead:
So im going to have to leave the light area's until the very last!
What would go good with the headlights, leave it white?
