So new it's not even registered yet..
Yes, i've built another City - this time a Tamiya kit rather than the previous Arii kits.
This is the Cabriolet. It goes together much better than the last 2 but it still shows evidence of having been designed for a motor and battery which makes me wonder who originally made the moulds.
Not much else to say.
Mrs z designed the colour scheme and I made the decals as per her designs.
It's lowered about 4 scale inches but other than that it's box stock.
Paint is a custom mix of pinks, purples & silvers (all car touch ups) followed by clear containing UV bling powder & pearl.

Thanks guys.
Paul - you're half right.
I would kept the interior but would have gone for hot pink on the body instead of the lavender metallic... Very Happy

Ray. Spongebob is an excellent idea. Ben 10 as well as you have the black/white/green motif there already and you could make decals of the different aliens. Work well on a van maybe.
Hmmmmmmm...

However, i'm probably going to build something subtle like an Ita-sha kit next.
