Chuck Most Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 This began as the Tamiya Toyota BB. It was converted into a phantom pickup, then converted to a LHD US-market Scion xB. The lettering was done on my inkjet printer, and this will be the company vehicle for the Foreign Objects Import Auto Repair diorama I've been working on. The Scion itself was more or less just a quick time killer build, other than my drunken squiggle paint job on the windshield border (done after I'd messed up with the kit supplied template) is the one thing that will drive me crazy about it. Later on as the diorama goes together I'll come up with some kind of backstory for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 That is awesome! I think Toyota missed the boat on this, I think they could sell these if they built them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmcguire Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Great build...I've got an '06 1:1 xB and I love that car. Super reliable and 33mpg driving it like a go-kart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nice project. I might be tempted to mark mine as a "mobile toaster repair truck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Cool little concept. Unless you glued the body down, it should be simple enough to soak the windshield and repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Cute concept, the design lends itself to such a conversion. Feel your pain on the window trim, I've gone to the trouble of masking and airbrushing that part on some builds. I could see getting another kit, and splicing in for a longer bed.
