Here's one from a while back. Kit is the Tamiya 66 bug which I thought id play with......I saw something similar in real life, smooth clean engine and interior, and the rest was crusty ! The engine was really smooth, and he had hidden a lot of wiring, so I copied this idea. Interior was also smoothed and painted, quite simple but effective. Went okay till I tried lowering it ! The suspension was the hardest bit, I cut out most of the inside of the front plastic under the bonnet, and narrowed the beam to bring the wheels in. Rear was re built with the half shafts tilted upwards and shocks etc shortened. Then I hand painted the bodywork with a brush, several times, then wet n dry paper to smooth it out. I added some chalk dust, then several more shades till I was happy with it ! Hope ya like it.........

Love this - the interior and engine are nice! The body work is spot on nasty!! worship
Personally, I "HATE" cars with too much camber, but it works on this one for sure, great job!! sSig_youtheman_zpsb3e30900
