Fabulous Idea!

I will probably do one of my following projects that way too, to make a tribute to the long gone mini...

anyway, this is a pic I found browsing the tamiya Japan site (hope it' s ok to post it here?)

Cameleon is a great colour but it never realy looks right in photos.

I have used chameleon a few times with my RC cars and found it very hard to photograph. (never tries with my new camera tho)

Lime green i think will look great!



The lime green almost changes colour! In even light its very green and in brighter light it almost changes to a yellow/green. I love the look!

how about a navy blue fading to a blacklight purple fading to a black? that would look awesome in blacklight. Put a white cloth interior-like socks, and the interior will glow too. It rocks my friend did it. It look great in light too, but o man was it hot in the blacklight

What about a two-tone paint scheme?

Maybe lime green with those big "patches" of flat black, like on the '71 Barracuda...

Or maybe a red upper body with black rocker panels, front valence, and rear bumper.

You know, after read other people saying they liked my chemilion color idea, I got to thinking. Maybe I'll try that at somepoint on a model. So, how exactly do I go about doing it on a model. I mean, where the heck do I get the paint to do it for one....And the lime green color in the pic above does look pretty slick. I am bias though, I still like chemilion...maybe, a chemilion of the pearl lime green to a pearl gold. I think that would look tight.
