We're at the Signup stage for this one..... If we can get enough people signed up.... I'll approve it.

Been looking for an wxcuse to build a tricked out Car or Truck....... here it is: Pimp a Ride

Count me in.. I have several car ready to be pimped.. could do a Honda S2000, a Volkswagen Golf mk 5, an Acura Integra or a Subaru Impreza WRX STI

I'm thinking of finishing up the '49 ford i haven't touched in awhile.......

Just enlisted! Very nice idea!

Paul

Hi guy's I've signed up to this, I dont venture over here much, you normally find me in the wet and salty side.

I have a load of cars waiting in the stash what better way of making the pile smaller and trying out some ideas.

Ciao
Luciano

Oh yeah! I'm in! Pimp-Master Murph they call me! (Don't ask who "They" are)
I'll pimp it out good! Lo and bad! Sleeper-city!

OOOOHHHH!?!? Maybe I'll bust the Chimpala outta mothballs for this!

Yeah! Signed up and ready to go!

Cuhail

I'm a lookin' for AM stuff already..... Dunno weather to take Joe up on his offer of Parts... or find a AM engine.........

Arggg! Aye, ya should be building up a Land Cruiser te ply the Seven Streets! Arg!

Cuhail

Oh yeah, I'm in. Got just the kit in my stash for it.

I'm in. I have an idea, for a paintjob, I have been wanting to try for quite a while. Just have to find the right car.

Just need a few more........ then I can approve.... and possibly move this puppy up a bit (but it's up to Sponga)

Count me in for sure! I think ive got quite the idea on my build too.

Can't resist this one. I think i'll either use the BMW Z8 or the 1/12 Tamiya Rover Mini Cooper(now i finally know why i bought it) from the stash...both have nice large areas for some custom paintwork.

Hey all,

Has this one gone any further? I've got one I'd like to build for this (do I need a change from Armor! ). If it goes to "Campaign," I'm in.....it shows a November 1st, 2007 start, but.....did it start?

Mike

APPROVED................ It kinda slipped thru the cracks.............

Thanks Matt, I am in!

Now, to find a really good sapphire blue metallic paint.....anyone have any ideas? Flats and browns and greens and whatnot I know...autopaint..hmmmm....

Mike

Try the BOYD's line in Testors Model Master

Thanks Matt...been going through their site....unfortunately, I can't find a "paint chip chart" for the Boyd's....I'll be doing this vehicle in a "blue," but not sure about sapphire...or arctic blue...or....and, I don't think the LHS has the Boyd's....but they have a lot of the MM paint. We'll see.......

Mike

So, has anyone started building?
Got my eyes set on Revell's '67 Chevelle SS396. Haven't started yet though.

I've got a project still to do before i get started on this one. But i've already bought the Tamiya TS-37 Lavender paint that i'll be needing.

Andrew

Okeedokee....it's officially "official!" Got the kit....got the paints ( Arctic Blue Metallic, White, French Light Blue/Gray and French Dark Blue/Gray), and will be ordering the AM rims and tires at the end of the week.

Woohoo!

Hey everyone. Couldn't resist making a start today on the interior.



Actually i think they're a bit overscale, and i may yet look for a smaller set. But keep in mind my ride is 1/12th scale. Anyone got any tips on what sort of flocking material to use to make them look ...fluffy?

Won't be starting on the main build for at least a month yet- Tamiyas 1/12 Mini Cooper that i got really cheap on EBAY. I only just found out with this campaign why i bought it. I don't even like the real car.

I'm concentrating more upon the paint scheme for this one, rather than extreme modifications... hopefully it will still end up looking "fully sick". I'm not sure if "fully sick" comes across in translation for people in other countries. I think for the local scene here it means something like your ride is really radical...or something like that.

Andrew

Right now I'm thinking Yellow, orange and red, for my Chevelle. Andrew Lavender and Mike Arctic Blue Metallic, White, French Light Blue/Gray and French Dark Blue/Gray. What a color palette. I have no doubt this will be the most colorful campaign in the history of this site

Andrew: that set of dice(Truckerballs, as we call them in Denmark) looks pretty good. I have no experience with enterior flocking materials, but I do believe they can be used to make the dice fluffy. http://shop.modelbrouwers.nl/catalog/lavender-interior-flocking-material-p-956.html

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy AM parts online? Wheels, interior/exterior detailing and engine detailing.

Jesper,

Is your vehicle 1/24th or 1/25th? If so, here's a guy on eBay that I'll probably get my rims/tires from: Pegasus Hobbies

I've looked at some of the "regular" online stores and they don't seem to have much of anything (at least those I looked at). I'm sure someone here will chime in with some good possibilites...

Mike

It is 1/24-1/25. Thanks Mike
