Mooneyzs Posted February 19, 2010 Author Posted February 19, 2010 I like the color on the magnum. I like your little mini school bus too. I think those Xb's look pretty good when tricked out tastefully. Which yours is. Thanks Wheelman for the nice comments. I have actually picked up a Tamiya bB kit which is what they call it in Japan and here in the US it is the xB. But I am planning on building it just like mine, even picked up some carbon fiber decals for the hood.
Jared Roach Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 man I love the elky, beutiful. I'm not a big fan of tuners and stuff but that scion is sweet, I love the black strip/carbonfibre agaist the yellow, cool rides!
Mooneyzs Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) Thanks Bowtie.... Yea I have always been a big fan of Chevelle's and El Camino's. actually never thought I'd own a tuner but there was something that grabbed my attention to the Scion xB and then I wanted one. Plus at the time it was what I could afford and had plenty of space. Ok couple more teaser shots of the Magnum. Earlier today I had to toss the body onto the chassis to see how it looked with the wheels and stance... Edited July 10, 2017 by Mooneyzs
speedy5963 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Looks like the paint came out really nice, what color and make is that charcol?
RodneyBad Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Holy PopCorn Batman.. Ya got some really nice 1:1 Rides too.. xB looks Great. The El Camino looks unreal. Me thinks I need to get some American Muscle back in my stables.. Naaaa,I can't afford the tickets or the fuel. Crud, I wish I kept my first car (69 GTX)n Naaaa,I couldn't afford the tickets or the fuel either. Besides, It could't stop or corner worth a darn but in a straight line it was Golden.. Magnum looks good too. Those wheels look right at home on it..
Mooneyzs Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 Paul...the paint is an '06 Chrysler color called Silver Steel. Paint code is DA4 09WNS....Thanks bud, Cheers Zukiholic....Thanks! I know what you mean with the fuel cost...lol I would actually love to get another 1:1 project but I just can't afford it at the moment. I would love to get an early 60 Chevy Wagon....Bel Air, Impala, Chevelle and bag it and have it lay frame
Mooneyzs Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Ok So I have been working little more on this project the past few days, getting the body close to being completed. I was able to get all of the glass installed as well as the head lights and tail lights. The only thing I really have left with the body is paint the mirrors and as well black out the grill, which I hope to get to the grill today and since its raining here today, I won't be able to paint the mirrors. Here are a few more pics of the body..... Edited July 10, 2017 by Mooneyzs
Guest Sickfish Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Great work here Chris!! I built my 06 nearly the exact same way back when the kit was released in 06. Next time though i'll cut out the moulded in grill & replace it with mesh, for a more realistic look. Have you though about doing that, or is it too late?? Cheer's Cliff!

Cliff Thank you for the compliments on my wagon, your wagon looks great, I like the color combo you chose. You know I was looking at the grill yesterday and though to myself that I sould have sanded the back and drilled thru the grill so you could see thru it. I never thought about cutting it out and replacing it wish mesh..... that would look great. It"s a little too late for me to do that now. and then the other thing I wish I could of done on the headlights was taped out the lights and painted part of the chrome black for a different look. It's all good though, I am happy with how this is turning out so far.
Cobrawannabe Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Sharpie tint those taillights, and it's perfect, IMO As always, you have high-quality build going on!
Mooneyzs Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Maybe I should of smoked the tail lights. that would of looked good as well was able to get the grill painted little earlier. Debating if I want to go back and touch it up a little more...... Edited July 10, 2017 by Mooneyzs
Cobrawannabe Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 You can still do the taillights, if you look at the ones on my Evo, those were smoked with a Sharpie. They're a bit darker than my taste on 1:1s, but with the titanium-ish colors that are on bot your Magnum and my Evo, it looks great!
MikeMc Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Did mine with a mesh grill and Tamiya smoke on the lights....... Oh yeah.....the top was chopped a bit Edited March 1, 2010 by MikeMc

Mooneyzs Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Brian.... I have to agree with Bill here.... Do it, its a very nice kit

Yep my Boxer is my boy for sure....he follows me everywhere and he thinks he's a lap dog lol. I think I paid around $10 bucks for those wheels on the Magnum from a local hobby shop here in phoenix. Just kidding, heres mine Clay.... you wagon looks great. do have to say that you fooled me with the first pic.... I was like cool 4x4 magnum.... never seen one like that before haha
Demon9115 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 It seems like everyone is working on a magnum lately lol,you can probably tell what i have planed looking at this pic
whale392 Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Well Anthony, I would say either a Challenger Wagon or a Charger that Dodge should have built; but these are just the guesses of a madman!
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) I have just about finished this build other than I am having a dilemma on which License plate to use from the decals....lol Once I get the License plate on and thinking of adding a photo etch license plate frame, I will take some new pics and post them in the Underglass section. thanks for looking everyone Edited July 10, 2017 by Mooneyzs
