Britman Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Is this the final colour scheme?, I hope so it looks great.
Lownslow Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Is this the final colour scheme?, I hope so it looks great.yup i had to search for the antique white in the craft aisle and for an acrylic its impressive how easy it is to work with.

I call it the mee too model a just about everyone i know has one or had one, lol. I had about 3 of these mostly bought them for wheels, I got this from a friend who did the same.
Danno Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Colors = nice. Rolling stock = (with all due respect) ugh. Just not my cup of tea, but to each his own. That's what makes the world go 'round.
Modlbldr Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I like it a lot myself. What are the wheel centers from? They look like Turbines (not sure that's the correct name) from the DOH kit. Great idea on them, whatever they are. Later-

kruleworld Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 looks good, just don't go with the Japanese 'VIP' Style angled wheels. (put them on straight instead). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIP_style

Blown03SVT Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 A oni camber street rod... now there's something that has never been done.

(put them on straight instead). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIP_style It's also called HellaFlush (Narrow tires stretched on wide rims, wheels tucked under the fenders and lots of camber): http://www.stancenation.com/2012/06/09/hellaflush-kansai-japan-photo-coverage-part-2/ It should look different with this body style.

It's sort of a spin off of the flush, fitted, poke, stretch, cambered, etc...style. Demon camber...
crazyrichard Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 well love the paint and wheels , very fresh .. the omni camber .. hmm doesnt do it for me on a model a at first i thought it was just a rough dry fit well for me i would say some camber would be nice but this extreme ... but that said (was just my taste speaking) just do it , because we dont need to push people in boxes and well if we all did the same it would be boring .. just have fun i'd say
62rebel Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 so i'm sitting here wondering how that works from a purely mechanical point of view.... the front axle would be fairly easy to modify to accomplish that stance, but the rear.....
MachinistMark Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 It exists and works in real life, not everything has a solid rear axle
crazyrichard Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 so i'm sitting here wondering how that works from a purely mechanical point of view.... the front axle would be fairly easy to modify to accomplish that stance, but the rear..... they use special plates if i'm correct
LAone Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Mechanically speaking the rear would need to either have IRS=independent rear suspension or if a FWD with tube axle rear then there would be plates to move the hub with negative camber. A live axle rear should not have negative camber. I'm sure our buddy here has some trick up his sleeve for the rear.... Edited January 18, 2013 by LAone
