R u keeping it stock or customizing it?I would slam it and put on some rims(just my 0.02 cents.)It still looks great.P.S. who makes that kit???

Umm... i thought of slamming it too... but too much mod is needed.

I always wanted to make my models look customed... but most of the time, it takes too much effort, so what I normally do is play arnd with the colors but still build stock frm box.. heheh.

Tamiya makes this kit, and it's a pretty good one with workin suspension!!

Small question: I've always seen wood trim on the interior of your models. Is that a custom job or is it decals that come with the kit?

nice job zetaet! good choice of color and I like the interior, it's really clean. did you use an airbrush or brushpaint?

daggerlee · 07-27-2002, 10:58 PM

Working suspension! Wonder if all there SUVs come with that..

Like the gunmetal!

wow looks great!

bri g · 07-28-2002, 01:52 AM

daggerlee, I don't think all tamiya SUVs come with working suspension. I'm sure that the Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi pajero comes with working suspension though

I think it is scale motorsport decals. right ?

Thks for the time and comments..

I brush painted everything except the exterior. At times when possible, I use the Tamiya paint markers.

Umm... i m not sure if all SUV come with workin suspension... but I heard from my pals that Pajero comes with it too..

The woodgrain are decals included in the kit. I do find it abit "fakë looking"...

Any1 has any idea to make realistic woodgrains??

Maybe you can get some really soft balsa wood and then cut out the needed shape, then stain it with that wood stuff?

zetaet · 07-29-2002, 05:52 AM

Umm... that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I will try that the next time. But really have to make it real thin.. will give it some thoughts. Thanks.
