Astro Van..

I know you guys have seen this.. I Colored the taillights to only have a strip of clear where the "bulbs" are. I just took some better pictures in my room when the sun was shining in the window.. I would get nice shots if I had a ride to the lakes right now..
( anyone want me to take a picture of diecast with Minneapolis City skyline in the background with a lake? )
Thanks for the look!

Re: Astro Van..

come on people.. its not that bad is it.. when I first posted this van there were more positive comments.. any suggestions on how to make it better would be nice.. now the only way I think it would be nice is if I made it look like it was in a accident.. but my girl baught it for me and she would be PISSED!
Mainly a light show like I said.. headlights, tail lights, underglow, wheel wells, front seats, rear seats, engine compartment, amps/ subs in the rear.. and im going to try to figure out how to get the tv's to glow around them or something like that

Re: Astro Van..

That van is definitely huge and heavy. (I got one in black)
Go ahead and do a light show on it. Probably put some lights on the wheels too.
Did you get the van with the mirrors torn off or did you do that?

Re: Astro Van..

Don't. The ghost flames are hard to make up. (which also sets it off)

Don't worry about those that don't like it. It's your project...

Re: Astro Van..

yeah I was also thinking about the ghoats flames... I think the red looks good.. mabye a little to much with the red headlights.. but it looks alot better in person.. for some reason the pictures make it look really really boxy.. not like in person.. anyone with a astro will know what im talking about

Re: Astro Van..

I didn't see the first thread. Looks fine to me but I'm not a DUBB kind of guy. What scale is it? Who manufactured it? Suppose its still being produced? I'd like to do a model of my B-17 AstroVan if I could find a die-cast similar.
