christian-w Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Here it comes - my competitor for the Cannonballrun 2015 - "The Sleeperball" It bases on the Tamiya Mini in 1/24. Studded with fine parts out of a Honda Integra (engine, transmission), Honda Civic (exhaust system, interior) and self made little things. Some more cutting on the engine and engine compartment as well as the dash board as supposed were needed but in the end it fits properly. I looks clean like an oob without seat belts or such things. My priority was fitting the "foreign" parts and the clean look. Here the pictures.

spencer1984 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Awesome work, I love the "sleeper" aspect! What color did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian-w Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks, Bill. The yellow one has been painted with airbrush colors by aeropro (water stuff) and clear coat out of the rattle can (K-Lack - Germany ;)) It is lemon mixed with a little light green. The ratio was visceral. The hood is rattle can flat black. The brown one has been fillered only with cheap paint out of the rattle can as usually. The filler was so smooth that I tested a layer of clear coat. It turned out pretty well that I then decided not to chance it. I was astonished about the result. So you can say, that the brown one doesn't have a paint The roof is black by K-Lack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Love 'em both. Love the real ones too. There's a company in my state that builds Honda B-series-powered early Minis, and they're really fun cars.
