Got bored and decided to PAintepost my model

[92240hatch]

Its a 180sx from Hong Kong and took a month to get here. Its a Dodge GTS blue and these pictures dont do it justice. Tell me what you think. I will do updates as it goes along.

Starting out





cut out headlight to do sleepy eyes or have them fully up



Ready for paint



Painted needs another coat





Im going to put the Type X spoiler and tails on. There is no engine which kind of upsets me.

Tell me what you think

Not to disrespect you, but it doesn't look like the greatest model. At least it kept you from doing drugs when bored. =D

I figured that. It looked better online. But i didnt notice that the picture on the box is a real car not the model.

Hahaha, how much did you pay for it?

BTW, It makes it better that you cut out the headlight covers to mod it, post more pics of the process.

I used to mod the body of my X-Mod. Energizer rechargeable batteries made that thing STOOPID FAST.

[92240hatch]

it was $20 including shipping. it looks better now that its painted. I will go take some pictures of it not that its done. the mirrors and headlight covers need to dry but it shouldnt be too long.

On a related note, here's a 1/18th model of a 240 I forgot I had. Think someone got it for my birthday a bunch of years back.



It has a black top SR20 inside it too. Ha.

[92240hatch]

cool. i was thinking about buying one like that but i like to put together most models. i still might get one like that if i find one that looks good enough.

I was into this for a while lol. Pvc tires ftw. It was actually pretty fun just going out in the street and messing around with it.

Lol I put the foam tires on every now and then and we would drive behind it in a real car. 40 mph is pretty quick for something that size.

That commercial makes me want one. I think every country has cooler commercials than the U.S haha, And everyone elses game shows are better too. I liked how at the end of the commercial they did a little music video with the cars hahahaha. Just gets you pumped.

Good Stuff!

[LeroyBrown]

looks like a level one model.

[92240hatch]

I dont think its level 1.

This is just the body and interior. I need the paint to dry before assembling other parts.

Just one



Now both



Type X tails that i know arent painted right but i didnt have the right paint but I thought this looked cool



RHD



Now i need to get to a hobby shop for more paint and glue

[zo0d]

dude I know the website was like "meh" then I saw the vid

[92240hatch]

Well I started to cut some parts off and the razor slipped and I cut something else



If all the blood was cleared then you would be able to see the bone. I got it wrapped up and its killing me so I'm done for the day.

[SirSilvia]

put some electrical tape on it and get back to work lol

[92240hatch]

I did put electrical tape on it. and I'm about to go back to work.

[SirSilvia]

haha awesome

[92240hatch]

yea. I couldnt think of what else to wrap it with. and its not going to get finished by its self. But its kind of difficult because i cant bend it at all.

[MastaYu]

cool little model

[spank044]

Sorry to thread jack, but here's mine.

[Conquerer]

That looks a lot like mine.

And to the OP, wow, that sucks, hope you're all right dude.

[92240hatch]

Thats a cool 240. And yeah im alright I just cant bend it no matter how hard i try. but its better if i dont because if i do it will tear back open. but the funny thing is that it doesnt even hurt. it hurt for like 20 mins after i wrapped it up then it just stopped. But i continued working on it and stopped for a couple hours. now i just need to finish the body and im done.
