XYHARRY Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Your getting there Ken. Engineering challenges are my favourite part of custom scale modelling. Keep up the good work, it's looking good. Cheers, David. ??
mustang1989 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 I like what you're doing with this one. This is gonna be great to continue watching.....
KC FitiWerks Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Been busy @ my 3 jobs. Finally found some time today to work on the Prius. Finished making the tubs, and backseat back(not my best work). The pan is coming along too. Here's a couple pics. 2
mustang1989 Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 Progress is looking good with the tubs so far Ken!!
dino246gt Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 This is so cool! Can't wait to see more of it! I love "different"!
speedy5963 Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 Sweet build, I was hesitant to click on the bread being what it is, but looks awesome!
ybsluos Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Ken I have seen where other builders cut down either plastic pill bottles or spice bottles to make tubs. Just some ideas.
charlie8575 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 I love the idea of making the ultimate anti-car-culture car into an ultimate car-culture car. Charlie Larkin
KC FitiWerks Posted April 2, 2023 Author Posted April 2, 2023 It's been awhile since I've been able to work on this lil jem. Too many real live projects, but I'm back on it. I watched a ytube vid, think it was DYC, DYP(??) or something like that. They threw powder pearls over a black base then clear coated it, and I knew that was it! Though I thought if it looked so good over black, why not white. It doesn't give it that "galaxy" look, as the black did. Well.... no! I'm going to mock it back up and take a good look at it for awhile. We'll see where we go from there. Enough of my bantering

KC FitiWerks Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 Finally found time to work on the Prius and didn't take pics of the progress. Painted it twice. The first looked like an Easter egg and I'm pretty happy with the second. Need to sand & polish, black out the trim and get the lights installed. 1
KC FitiWerks Posted June 12, 2023 Author Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Took it to the Heartland Model Car Nationals. in the "Small Scale" category. didn't place, however was a conversation piece. It is done! ENJOY!! Edited June 12, 2023 by KC FitiWerks 1
OldNYJim Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 I think you were right to go with the second paintjob - WAY cooler! Nice build! 1
XYHARRY Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 That looks great Ken. Your paint scheme suits this style. Well done on those rear tubs too. Cheers, David. ?? 1
