My street racer is almost complete part 2
 

Here's the first one I did... http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread....&threadid=3552

Now this is the one I'm currently working on, and like the first, this is also a Gloria...

I have almost completed the full how to on this so people can do it for themselves and see what I'm barking about. Pics of the body coming..

Luv them RIMS !! I've gotta get some .

Where did you get those rims ???

He got them from here: http://www.bitchar-g.de/. BTW, love your avatar Knights :D

Damn I want some of those rims. When in the hell is tiny gonna get some in?:( I heard that the germans won't ship to us here in the US of A, but I don't know first hand. Damn I can't bear it, those rims are making me drool.




Oh, by the way, nice cars payaso.

Is it just me that people are continously trying to get Tiny to stock some of the rare/aftermarket stuff for micro R/Cs???

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say. I think if tiny got some of these in he would make a killing and be providing a service. Last I knew tiny was looking into stocking these but I haven't heard anything yet.

Until I get some of those wheels , these make a good replacement . Also cheaper !!

another shot

:eek: Where did you get those?

Swapped them off a hotwheel car .

Thanks for the comments guys... I left a message on my friends machine in Germany asking her what the deal is, so I guess I'll here something shortly.. I'll keep you posted.

denden-- Are those tires harder than stock tires?

Yes they are harder . They're good for carpet driving .
Not too bad on my tile floor either .
Replacement wheel swaps are endless if you're into
Hotwheels or Johnny Lightning cars .

Here's a test shot for yall... It's not done yet, but it's comin along.

Check it out...

Here's another for ya...

Damn that's one fly-ass gtr! Luv that flava lol.

payaso what did you use to tint?

And here's one with hte body on the right way.. With the wheel wells cut to make room for the phatty tires and rims.. This is just a screwin around body.. We all know I'll slap a Gloria on it when it's all said and done..


silla

Photo just kinda tirned out like that.. They're still clear..

I will tint em though. Thanks dude...


silla

Where on that site does it say we can order those rims? I've gotta have them. If I can't, what would I need to get to make them?

Namuna tracked this place down, and it looks promising.. Their selection rocks... Chek it out.. I must have more of these beauties..

That was a sweet collection, but their site says they only make them for 1/43 and 1/24 scale. Hopefully they speak english cos' I want some for my epoch.

I saw that too, but I had 3 sets of them and i saw them on the site. The ones I have are 9.0mm. I need more info to be sure, but they look exactly the same as mine...


silla

payaso , that is one sweeeeet ride . What kind of car is that ??

I think it's a skyline.

ahhhh:eek:

thats is one sweet nissan
those rim *drool*

Man payaso yout work is awesome...those rims are to die for but your paintjob and detailing is what makes the difference...

If you have news from your friend don't forget to inform us...

And at least post a progress pic of the Gloria and stop torturing us!!!!!!


P.S:Awesome pics and flawless job....

Can I have it when youre done then?

Thanks guy... Both the Skyline and the Gloria are far from finished.. I just wanted to show you guys tat I actually do have crap on the work bench...lol

The hole in the hood of the Skyline is for the big a$$ motor.
Check it out..


silla

Another one...


silla

Here's a sneak peak of the Gloria... Or one of em..


silla

oh yes... damn sexy!

man payaso that Gloria is so sweet!!!

I really love the Gloria body and your paintjobs kick ass...great details!!!

P.S: FOr the skyline the only thing I would suggest is after finish the wheel wells make some nice fat wide arches to look better...Just my tip...(Through that should have been done before painting!)

Keep up the good work and post some more!

Thanks for the props guys... The reason I cut the wheel wells after I painted instead of before, is cause I didn't plan on using the Skyline body for my alloy wheel mod. Bordem got the best of me. The Skyline is one of the hardeat bodies to make look good with huge wheel wells..

They look like crap now, but I'll sand em down some more to give em the "smooth as a babys butt" texture

payasso your paint jobs are flawless what you you use an airbrush?
can i sugest making a supra
your skill at painting and modding and a supra together could make an amazing car

i dont like glorias... but i like payaso's glorias... allll cuzza those MAD paint jobs... man, that's like professional... i wanna be able to paint like that!!

i would suggest doing a supra too... i was gonna make the ultimate supra and wow the boards with it, but my skill is weak at best... my suggestion would be remake the front wheel wells, fix it up with some white OZ racing rims.. (those metal ones for germany)...... and paint it black...!! that'd look hot...

good job anyway man... is there a step-by-step for doin such sweeet, sweet paint jobs?

Thanks for your knd words. These are all done with a spray can, but I just got some new paint for my airbrush, so my next bodies will be painted with that.

I was working on a Supra, but I chose the wrong combo of paints and they melted and bubbled...:(

I'll have another in the shop after I finish a couple more Glorias..

silla

Thanks for the props man... You can always check the site in my sig for new tutorials on all my projects...

Supra coming soon..


silla

hey payaso how much glorias do you have? ive seen your red one with the metal rims and ive seen this one and your always tryin to buy them. BTW your one of the best painters here i wish i could do it like you but i suck so i use permanent markers i used to have an air brush untill some one stole it. you should paint some celicas

I have about 6 Glorias being worked on right now.. I was thinking about painting bodies and selling them. Anybody know what a good price would be for a custom paint job..
I'm open to suggestions..

Thanks for the props isk8blind
