Hiya Guys been stalking in here for a long time wanting to do some of my own finally dragged my ass up town an brought these two models what do ya think????? Don't know what im going to do to them ??


cheeRS

 

welcome to the modellers corner mate, i like that little clio, start off with something simple, perhaps paint the clio in one colour and stick the xsara wheels on it?

 

Cheers petey. yeah was thinkin one solid colour for the clio looks more standard so will suit it. how do i go about wiping the wheels off????

 

well i changed the wheels over an the clio wheels look shit on the xsara lol but the clio looks cool as!!! so the xsara is now gonna be spare parts hers some pics

 

Well stripped it down going to get some nitromors tomorrow. What type do you recommend??? then im going to spray it probaly silver to match the inside cage area or maybe red not sure?? What do you reckon guys..

 

welcome mate,any nitromores will do i should imagine,it comes off pretty easy on models
silver will be nice mate, but if goin red do it a really bright red,will be nice

 

Cheers Rapid . Cool ill just get the green tin of it yeah deffo bright red if i did. im just starting small till i pluck up the courage to do big mods!! gonna cruise the model shops for more motors lol

 

yeah thats the tin i use,most ppl do start small but i just jumped straight in at the deep end lol.
soon you will have loads of models,ive got more projects in the cupboard than on display

 

I used the nirtomors thats in the green can.

The clio's rather nice with that wing on. I would go with a metallic colour & strip off the number from the windows aswell but leave 'Renault Sport' on the windscreen.

Andy

 

yeah the missus just asked how many am i gonna have lmao!!! i want to do something big but these models were so cheap i can do it the xsara mite get a mix up i think just thinkin on what ideas an stuff??

 

i was gonna ask how do i get the numbers of the window.white spirit, petrol???? so metallic silver then u reckon

 

I use brake fluid on some but nail varnish remover pads on others. The pads need to be acetone free aswell.

Used brake fluid on my Mk3 Escort and the orignal laquer went dull but the pads left it shiny.

 

cheers for the info ill crack out the missus nail stuff. ill wait till she goes work actually lmao

 

well thats fucked it lol!! i used the nail varnish remover an its gone funnyish lol gonna try brake fluid. if that fucks up!! its going to be a renault clio sport van

 

Could be a good project

 

I think ill do something special to the xsara or ill look around tomorrow i think there was a porshe 911 there an an ole school 911 cab there cheap so town for me tomoz

 

or you could break out the hacksaw and make a renault sport clio cabrio or just limo tint the rear & side windows

 

hi guys! im havin a right ballache with the nitromors its coming off but leaves bits of paint behind. any tips to it or just keep brushing it on?? an whats the best tool for it?? got my paint today honda metallic silver an clear laquar. im so frickin impatiant so that dont help but im not goin to rush im going to take my time lmao

 

just keep at it mate i use a small wire brush to remove teh paint once it has started to pucker up i also temd to submerge the model in warm soapy water once the paint is ready to be scraped off just dont get the nitromoors on your skin it burns like hell

 

Nice models.

 

cheers ill get a small wire brush then. an yeah nitromors burns like a bitch already found that out lmao

 

cheers glen Some big plans comin up just need the model to do it aint seen one done on here yet so its a secret till i start doin it lol

 

Welcome in, Keep a wet rag about when useing nitromoors.
It dosnt bother me on my hands, but had in on my face twice stung like a bitch. lol

 

on my cars mate i just run it under the outside tap wen its ready to come off,then the little bits that dont come of i just do it again.
im the same as you,want it done just like that but everything has different stages,
maybe this is y i have so many projects on the go

 

lol yeah its annoying being so impatiant. well ive painted it pics in a mo dunno about laquer though think it doesnt need any??

 

i use to get so pissed off sometimes i would get the hammer out
plenty of models ended up in the bin.

 

'kin 'ell wouldn't go that far lol na im so unhappy with myself with this one time for a retry but heres the pics

 

Looks smart mate


Brian

 

cheers . i think im going to do a full respray on it not happy with a few things on it!! glad i didnt glue all the bits bk on lol

 

to be honest, i think i would of kept it standard.. apart from the other wheels
good on you ffor trying though
personally mate i would try and do some thing "rat look"
like a old bettle at first as it doesn't matter if you mess up at all as its ment to look shite although depends on your taste of cars and mods etc i surpose.
well done any way mate

 

cheers tom. well things havent quite worked out for the little clio poor thing lmao its had a hair cut an in the process of cleaning up the mess lol pics tomoz need a file lmao!!! You can probaly guess whats happened lol. Any reasons why the nitromors wouldnt strip the primer???? halfords primer.

 

I havent used halfords primer, but the grey primer i used did come off with nitromors.

The Clio looks good. The tyres look so much better without the logo on aswell.

 

cheers moomin i cant under stand how it just made the top coat wash off not bubble?? an yeah the tyres looked crap with the logos simple mod turn the rubber the other way round looks 10times better

 

progress piccys good ole dremmel lol



still needs filing a little an then sanding all round the cage is now out so need two front seats as this car only has one.

 

Looks good.

I would have left the cage in and turned it into a pick up

 

i can put the cage bk in so ill do a pic of it in an then out to give a comprasion (sp)

 

update on this aint been bothered with it since i made the f-up but its lookin good now what do u think lads an ladys if there is any lol
