RodneyBad Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Nice looking van. I have the Odyssey version. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Foxer Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 this is a neat looking kit ... two glass options .. wow!
FujimiLover Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Two window's options is awesome indeed! Very rare for a kit to offer tint, and clear. We're usually left to tint our own! Recommendation. If your going to paint it a dark, color, use the clear window's. If your going to paint it a bright or even a medium color, use the tinted windows. Dark tinted windows on a dark colored car will look too dark and toy-like. While it look's cool on the real car to have a black car with dark windows, it does NOT work in scale. I'd also ditch those wheels and try and find something better.
diymirage Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 im with fuji on this one also (and this is totally of topic) ive been planning on getting a roll of window tint (maybe 20 % ) so i can shade my own windows, cos those look WAY to dark, im sure ill see you on wegmisbruikers with that tint have you thought of building a trailer with a boat for this one ? because those rims would make an awesome boat anchor just out of curiosity, what part of the netherlands are you from ?
ericmaxman Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Nice Estima. I am not a fan of VIP cars, but the subject is nice. If I were you, I would do it stock. But hey, its your car, and I respect your decisions.

Ha i am from Zierikzee Zeeland,and witch part are you coming from? And guys i will make t like the box,I love dark cars whit tinted glas.Those rims are a keeper.
atenzapower Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 The front wheel suspension,I was missing some hands Interior,i have keep it simple. Dryfit wheels. Did some first painting.
FujimiLover Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) Nice work so far! Does the springs for the suspension do any work, "compress-rebound" or are they just there for appearance? I've been wanting to do one of these Estima's and try my hands at chopping the top and lowering the roof line by a mm or two. I've even seen a real one done as a convertible and totally decked out in a racing theme! Edited April 15, 2009 by FujimiLover

And guys i will make t like the box,I love dark cars whit tinted glas.Those rims are a keeper. zeerikzee would have sufficied i spend many a summer there as a boy all of zeeland to be honoust but zeerikzee and scharendijke had a special place in my parents hearts they were both avid divers and my dad is a 3 star instructor with the Nederlandse Onderwatersport Bond to this very day i was born in a tiny little hole in the ground called nijnsel (kerkdork van st oedenrode) and grew up in a mcuh larger hole in the ground called volkel thats right, by the airforce base both of which are in noord brabant by the way i think i even took my wife over to zeerikzee once while we were still dating

vizio93 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 that is a mini van on steroids!!! i agree with everybody that says you should change the wheels maybe some pegasus 24's big wheels would look really good on that can't wait to see how this build will come out keep it up
