Talking Progress: Pimped Jeep Cherokee

Well, This is the Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee kit. Out of the box the kit is packed with detail to build a stuning model. But I "HAD" to put my special touch to it, First i added 5 15's in the back with styrene as a base,Made by Hoppin' Hydros. Then i added the MONSTER 20's from Hoppin' Hydros , Which in 1:24 scale they are about 24' 26' inch Diameter.. The paint is Boyd's Chezzoom Teal Pearl with 3 coats of Dupli-Color clear caot and then waxed. I still have alot to do with this kit, Engine, Exterior, Interior, Suspension and Fix the back lift gate because I got my finger prints on it, Ill sand it down and shoot another coat of paint and clear on it sometime, I flocked the sub box and carpet with a mix od Detail Master Grey and Black flocking. This model come with full working suspension also, which I thought was pretty cool. Progress Might be fast, Might be slow, So If you have any questions or Comments please feel free to ask :-)

Thank's. Josh

Nope, Not much you can do with a jeep engine , Here are some pics of the amps that i scratchbuilt and probably were they will be placed, Or i might make a amp rack to put them on, Not to worried about that yet..


They still need sanded and filled in on the sides, and the terminals built for the wireing.

And here is were they are right now..




Right now im waiting for tomarrow so i can spray the front and back bumper black, Then i will start scratchbuilding a TV in the headliner console. And probably a TV in the dash also..

Any ideas you have please tell me!!

Josh

Hm, although I don't particulary care for this type of modifications, I do like the model, and what you're trying to achieve, but take your time, and try to put on or scratchbuild some bigger brakes, otherwise it will look very awkward.

And also, are those rubber bands around the rims supposed to be tyres?
Maybe you could use some other tyres, and just stretch them to the desired length, I m pretty sure the result will be 10 times better, then this brakeless , running on rubber bands, underpowered car.

But hey, on the otherhand, it's only a model right?
