That is so out there, I love it. What a wild and crazy design, truly original. I really don't think you should give up on vans, this is cool.

Nice job. Something usually goes wrong on just about every model I build, so I wouldn't sweat it too much..

I found a pic of your van..well.. similar anyways.. hah http://yamb.bl3h.org/images/japan/bosozoku/DSC00127.JPG

I like those crazy japanese style vans...they're so weird.

You choose a nice color for it, really suits it.

Build more of them...don't give up.

What, no mural of some cute J-pop star? :grinno:

Looks awesome. It's neat to see a model of one of these things. They are uncommon, and nuts. Thanks for sharing! It doesn't look like you made any grave errors, I think your skills are just fine and you recovered well from whatever mistakes you made. You know what they say - a good modeler isn't good because they don't make mistakes, he's good because he can fix them!

Thank you all soooo much for the comments! I never thought i would recieve this much and it means alot to me. I promise my next project will be better! As for the graphics i wanted to put some on as these vans usually have graphics on them. They are usually stupid and i thought maybe putting pokemon graphics on there but i cant fiind any. And this kit is Aoshima Vanning Hi-Ace Zelda Type 2. Thanks for the comments!!!!!!!!!! :grinyes: :grinyes: :grinyes: :grinyes:

Definately wild looking, and it looks like it came out fine. If you like vans and had fun with this one, do another. Or wait until you feel up to it, and build other stuff meanwhile.

For graphics, try doing a websearch for temporary tattoos (http://www.temptatts4u.com/). I'm thinkin' a big ass dragon whould look pretty slick on the side.

I have a book full of japanese style tattoos and other tattoos so finding a design is no problem. But i cant find them in decals. And theres no way i can paint them because im not good at painting. But thanks for commmenting.

Most temporary tattoos will go on just fine as decals. They are essentially the same as the tire decals included in some motorsports kits.
