Here's my lastest creation.. nothing to do and lots of decals with a 1/70 scale suped 302ci BOSS engine.
This is what you end up with..
What do you guys think? Is it worthy? More pics coming when I get the tail lights and a little more detailing finished..

that's wicked nice...
did you do the bluey/green background on the car also?
The decals/labels are great. nicely applied, even over the bumps/curves/lines.
The 302Boss is a ford engin, but what's the car itself?
The nose looks like a dodge stratus.
1/70scale? hmm I also like the rims....can they be removed?
that's a nice car.... I like flaired out wheel wells. I had a ConQuest that looked like this car.

that green, believe it or not, is the exact same green metallic on my S-2000, just two different colored primers underneath.

props for originality, I've seen stickers before... even vinyl that don't turn out that good.

Thanks guys
The rims are from a Nakamichi N racer clone, and are removable as well as fully functional to boot..
Like Cabo said, the Green metal flake paint was bought by him for his S2K, but I used a different color primer(dark brown)
and he used light grey..
The huge wheel wells were done so it could run on my chassis with alloys, but it just looks so much better with the clone wheels.. IMO
I wanted to show detail under the hood so it took me a while to get it to look right..(no way was I gonna glue a motor on top of the hood)
I just couldn't stop myself with the decals..
I'll be slappin up some before shots...

Oh, ok...Is this a no-no...? hmmm, can you say tacky.

Exactly.. I wanted to get away from tacky.. Anybody can glue the damn thing on the hood, but then you end up with this exagerated.<sp? Muscle Machine cartoony look..
I'd have to say I'm pretty pleased with the out come.. This car entered the shop in Nov. last year.. I'm not a speed modder by no means...lol

We'll see...
What else you got besides that car in your vid hog? Cause when I crash it off the track, are you gonna have a spare to keep racing?
When I deploy the chute, you'll crap yourself...lol

the car in the vid is sick. the rear axle needs some help.
right now i got a blue/green color changing skyline. ive been meaning to snap a pic of it. it turned out pretty well but everytime i get on the computer lately i seem to get stuck playing starcraft for hours.

Picked em up at the LHS... $7 for a whole sheet of them. I'm sure there are better deals out there, but these were doing nothing on my table..
Waterslide decals rule.. I'm gonna start making my own..
