Finished Funky Van (Honda S-MX Lowdown)
This little fun van will take you to funkytown in no time!
Now boasting a nice metallic blue paintwork, some smooth deep dished rims, a decent stereo system and nice and clean interior with some aluminium and chrome accents, it's THE vannest of all minivans .  I think it's not only me who has these tons of semi-finished kits laying around in boxes, in pieces around the room... Well, I started this kit about one big year ago, but never had the courage to finish it, not because it's so hard, but because I just didn't feel like finishing it . I thought it would look ordinary, quite in the shadow of my other racecars. But, au contraire, it turned out to be a great , nice, and most of all funky little model!   With some modelifications, like the homemade rims, I tried different techniques (thanks to Laurent for those  )The rims are supposed to be deep dishy rims, with those (I don't know what you call them, but those pins that hold the quick-release bolts on. They were quite popular in our part of the world some time ago in the tuning scene, and I thought what the hell, it's a try-out model... I think it turned out pretty well, only thing is that they have been painted gunmetal from the paint brush... So the car is the Honda S-mx lowdown from Tamiya, painted Telefonica Blue over matt black to give it that deep blu-ish shine , and compounded (first time !  )some other mods were the exhaist system, and some detail painting in and under it . Pretty much box stock. Oh, and I forgot to add the licence plates...  Tell me what you think! Olivier          Expect some nice finished projects from me soon ! Olivier

The centre of the rims are originally from the Tamiya Alfa GTV , and I used GTI 1800 's technique with the styrene to make it wider.
Then I filled the nutholed with putty, and put on a screw and a fastener like in the BTCC. Thanks for comments! Olivier

Very cool model!!
 It's got a lot of character. Would be cool if you added some interior junk to make it look 'lived in.'
