Wonder how far we can take the stereotypes before somebody freaks out?

All I need to do is scrap off the big pockets and equipment and paint the uniforms the right colour.

Sweet! I was looking at the Zero when I was ordering some stuff from Tamiya USA, so I do want to see you work your magic on one since I can't build one. haha.

You'll have to get and build a car model, and have one of the guys crash it (yes, I know it's a woman in the GIF).



The question is, can you find a car model from that era?

Alright, experimenting time. Bought some lambskin leather, thinned it (PITA since I've never worked with leather in my life), and glued it on. Waiting for the glue to dry so that I can cut the excess. Hoping this works out. Interior will be red, black, and possibly gray.

Sorry. Don't know why the site oriented the pics to landscape since they were shot in portrait orientation.

Interesting experiment.

Pretty disappointed in Tamiya TS-45 pearl white. The can only lasted for one mist coat, and 2 medium-heavy coats. The paint stopped, and the rest of the can was just a lot of air. I did not paint the chassis either as instructions say not to (I didn't spray paint it, but just brushed on some cheap acrylic paint where I knew the adjustment screws would not go.

I wonder if I can use the shavings for carpeting/floor mats. For those that may want to try this, it takes super long to thin the leather. Then again, I'm just using a hobby knife and a razor. Haha

Pearl white is a nightmare colour regardless of scale... Never got it or understood it..

The color and scale of the pearl in the Tamiya is very nice. I just wish the can lasted as long as the other colors I've used because I think one more wet coat would have made it look super good.
