Rally Raid Pajero

[Dingo1]

After many months of just sitting around I have finaly finished this model although it doesn't look all that good it's not meant to be as it is a rally raid vehicle and will eventually be dirtied up to look like it's been through the ringer.

I begin to understand why some feel uncomfortable in posting anything of their work over here.

It took me years of collecting the needed modeling stuff to make life easier, but don't expect every one has that money or wants to spent the amount of money I did in the last 7 years (you would faint if I would sum it up and that in a situation as a student with only a part time job )


Or is it about the color? ... I would have picked one differently, but hey, maybe this is Dingo's favourite blue!

Maybe you should have a look at the mirrors and bumber upholdings and give them a more realistical color.
And a good tip would be to be carefull with the glue when you are workin with clearplastic windows etc. Maybe use a special milky glue used for clear parts.

hehe, reminds me of my earlier models but they looked really bad when I just used revell pot paints and the plastic tube glue

As you already know it is not the best model, but I do admire your guts to show it anyway. And it's nice to see you already pay attention to some details, like rear lights and the laptop.

For a tip, you might want to try to use a bit more colors, like black for door handles, window trim and mirrors. Right now it shows about the same amount of colors I had on my first car... Plastic black n chrome and 1 color for the body (my case red).

And don't let bad comments refrain you from posting.

Looks like it was a fun build! Obviously it's been painted pretty much all over in blue, but because you say you're planning to weather it, this looks more like a 95% finished build to me....I'm just eagerly waiting to see what it finally will look like once you add all the dirt etc. One criticism I have is to please not use flash when photographing your model. Use big, even lighting instead, whether it be in your kitchen, bathroom, outside on a sunny day or similar. I think given the right weathering, in the right places and somewhere outside, it could look quite realistic! I hope you update us

Practice makes perfect, so keep trying!

Not everyone is a master in building models. If you want to criticise someones work, maybe you can tell something that will help another.


About the model. I would make some color variations in it. Maybe you can paint the back rear windows in another color, pin wash the panellines, paint the door handles en use some pastels to give the car a dirty look.

A good tip for putting clear parts in a model is to glue them using woodglue, varnish or crystal clear.

So keep up the good work and don't get demotivated by some others. With the right equipment and knowledge you'll get there eventually.

Probably at me other vision of this model than at you.
I understand that the forum is opened for all.
Judging by myself, I wouldn't began to show such not accurate job with so frank problems.
I am sorry, if I whom that have offended or reserve.
Yours faithfully...

Thanks guys for all your comments after I had placed it on here I realised that I hadn't done the window rubbers or the mirros and such things that you all mentioned it was an oversight, as for the yucky windows that was due to the fact that I had left the magic tape on far too long and it was a fair pain in the rear end to remove so hence I plan to hit it hard with weathering, I sippose in one respect you could say that I wanted to finish this vehicle off and I was in to much of a hurry to do so and to get it out of the way. Maybe I should do another one and take my time as I can do better I'm not a beginner.

i know some people can't take critics, thats why i didnt post anything when i first saw this thread (I'm the one who give this thread 1 star), but i also felt that sometimes we need to said what we need to said, honestly...i think this pajero is badly built, but my first built many many years ago was not much better than this

if no one said anything about it, Dingo might think he don't need to improve on his next built

[CifeNet]

Thanks for sharing. I am glad to see this place is open to all of us, not just the masters of universe. Peace out~

[kaho]

What brand of kit is this?
Don't worry about bad builds, everyone had gone through that stage. Subpar builds are good material to tell yourself what needs improvement...

I agree with you Entau, but I think it is better to give critics in a positive way, by giving some hints and tips then by just saying that it sucks.
