The Piranha is a strange choice of car for a spy. Not exactly discreet, is it? ? To be fair, neither is an Aston Martin. I suppose you could argue that with the engine in the rear, you could stick lots of armament in the nose of the Pranha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Tires roughed up from the salt (aka sandpaper) and wheel covers from sheet styrene: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Suspension mostly done, still needs paint & cleanup. I'm VERY glad I chose to do this one as a much-modified build, the fit on many of the parts is absolutely terrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Worked out the final layout with some temporary graphics (regular photo paper, too thick). I'm using an Epson PM225 photo printer, and have ordered some printable sticker paper for the final assembly. If anyone has any other ideas for printing decals/stickers I'm open to suggestions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to print on the white paper for those. I'd had good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
