in progress: ford escape custom

sorry about the size, i havent figured out how to take smaller pictures yet.




First of all, the front wheels arent actually attached yet, the body is just leaning on that one. I just wanted to see how its gonna look. So far the only major thing ive done is tint the windows, and paint the interior. Ive also given it blue xenon headlights, but you cant see them here.





I am really proud of the dashboard detailing i did. The whole interior started out flat grey, and i detailed everything, including the dash.


My future plans include mounting the wheels, and finading a sound system. I would like to try gullwing doors, but i dont know how, so if anyone has any advice or tutorials, they are welcome.

Any other opinions?

Re: in progress: ford escape custom

check out my progress thread on this forum for my plastic 49 merc. i'm installing some subs and amps that i got from towerhobbies.com.

Is this what your looking for in a system, you just hve to paint and wire, if your looking to detail.
there is just a shot of the subs and amps, have not painted yet.

Re: in progress: ford escape custom

I was able to right click on the x, go to properties, copy the address, and paste it in the address bar in the browser. Way too much trouble though, make sure your img tags are right and the last 2nd one says /img inside the brackets.

anyways, looks nice, I also like the dash. Looks very clean and slightly ghetto fabolous.

Re: in progress: ford escape custom

im trying to get pics off the headlights, i dunno if it worked, it takes a while to load onto the thing, give it like a half hour, then check back. if its not on there ill reload it tommorrow.

and i would lower it, but i cant, the tires wont fit into the wheels wells that far, plus i kinda like it like that.
