Completed: Aoshima Hilux Double Cab Lift Up

[stryfe101]

Hey guys,
Here is the finished product of the aoshima Hilux i've been working on as a skills refresher/builder from an absense of 7 years from the hobby.






I tried to build this as if I was going to enter it in a contest and I learned there are a few more areas I need a bit more practice with..mainly paint jobs, window trims, and body prep. Anyway its built box stock with alot of the chrome removed(nearly the whole suspension is chrome). Paint is Colors By Boyd Ice Blue Pearl and I think it would have looked a little better if shot over a black base instead of gray. The grill and front bumper are metalizer gunmetal, and the roll bar is metalizer aluminum plate(which looked really killer before I clear coated it). Anyway I enjoyed building this one, literally fell together, and I think it turned out ok. Hope you guys like it, any comments and critiques are welcome.

Thanks
Gray Smith
