I can say the same thing, I wouldn't touch any of the SuperBit Body's cause to me they are Great in their original detail. BUT the only reason I wouldn't is because I couldn't think of a thing to do to them that will enhance their appearance. Now Miva has thought this out thoroughly, step-by-step and has come up with something that totally blows my mind. Seeing it in stages and how much skill is being applied, you're not seeing the Big Picture Pimp. I think you'll change your tune once this starts to come to closure. I've been all over Da World (net wise) and been to many forums and seen some incredible things done with Micro's and I gotta tell ya, this one will be one for the history books! And you saw it here 1st, step-by-step in Pimp City!

PS.
Did you see what the paint remover did to this body! It WAS Crap !
Now as Silla said earlier, Crap doesn't fit into Miva's Mod's, just the beginning!

Seeing this happen step by step is great, not only do we get to see all the effort that goes into a top notch ride, but it builds anticipation to see what will happen next, and how it's gonna come out.

Hi!

Thank you all for the good words you wrote about my work. :) This gives me power to work better.
By the way, i think that changing car appearance is the point in custom modifications.

Lowering body Part 2

Materials: 0.5mm plastivc sheet, epoxy putty Milliput, Humbrol poly cement
Tools: Excel Sanding Stick, Excel Light Duty Knife, sandpaper 800 and 1200

Image

Final touch will be done after primer painting. There are too many colours now.

to be continued...

Some time ago i promised to share pictures of my work with Testarossa.

I found proper liquid for paint removing (paint is acrylic).
And something very bad happened :(
Body was destroyed by this remover

Still and accurate Testarossa. It has that front lip. Congrats, You Turned a Testarossa from used-car-showroom-worthy, to junkyard-worthy, and then to-California-classic-car-show-worthy. In Laymans Terms, GREAT! :D :cool: :D
