In Progress: Honda Jazz with flame

[janositamas]

Very cool paintjob, you can be proud of it! Keep it going!

I lowered the rear legs by cutting it off and reglue them at higher position with couple mm negative offset so the sparco wheels can slide a bit inside the wheel archs: (sorry for the blur pics)



To make it even more lower I remounted the whole chasis at a higher point and as consequences of that I have to cut all inner door panels:



These were done because I want to keep the spinning wheels and the original parts.
And I have done the rims with Alclad magnesium:




I am not sure whether they look nice for this mockup. Your comments, critics and suggestions are welcome.

Really nice paint job! But i would paint the rims black again, they looked better that way IMO of course

Thanks! I guess I will paint it black again.

Here is some pics after it has been lowered (probably around 3mm):




Next, I might add a two tone interior, bucket seats and big muffler. If you guys feel like to share about how tos on sratchbuild a boom box, please do. I am totally blind about this.
Have a nice week end!!

Uh dude, someone lit your model on fire...


No seriously, that is an amazing paint job. You should try your skills on making a good ol' American hot rod with paint skills like that!

this car blew up so quick in the tuner seen, and nice to see that its makin its way to the modeling seen. Definetly make rims black again, it brings out the flames. Im gonna be watching this kit!

[SpoonMan Dos]

That's one hot paint job! Great subject and choice of wheels.

[energon]

Add one more vote for going back to black on the wheels. This is gonna be sweet! The flames are so well done!

I agree with making the rims black. That paint job is great. What color interior?

[sasmiha]

The interior will be a combo of red and black to match the rims color. Just got a styrene slowdown for the last week or so, but I think I can start again tonite. Will post some progress soon, thanks everyone!!
