Mr. Can Am Garage Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm pushing this New Mini through a quick build. This time yesterday, it was nothing more than a painted body and lots of unassembled and unpainted parts. Why am I calling this build Oh Canada? Because this is going on the roof and the front sides of the side view mirrors. They're made of the same stuff as the graphics on 1:1 cars (automotive grade vinyl) and cost me all of $3.95US including shipping for enough to do two cars.

S10man Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Very nice so far John. The flags will be a nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Revell's New Mini painted with Testors British Racing Green and Tamiya Sprays Gloss white. Check out what's on the front of the side view mirrors. The flags are 1:1 automotive grade vinyl made by the fine folks at Flamin Frog. http://www.flaminfrog.com/models.htm For considerably less than $5, I've got enough to do two cars.

Zoom Zoom Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That's pretty cool! Looks almost like an optical illusion on the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10man Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That is really nice work John. Your Mini's paint job looks flawless. I like the flag....its better than the usual Union Jack. Great work on the garage also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Very nice, I like the Canadian flag idea. Any problems with the kit itself? I had head light fitment and chrome that came off at the slightest touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had head light fitment and chrome that came off at the slightest touch. Thanks! I'd agree more so about the chrome. I didn't have much of a problem with the headlights but the chrome is less than perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
