My latest project... Body Drop, anyone?

So I was at Meijer today and while looking for a toy for my neighbors birthday, I see this stack of 1:24th scale models. I didn't really see any that I liked, until i get down to this really nice royal blue Riviera. It was only 6 bucks so I figured what the heck, and bought it.

So I get home, take it out, and i got this strange urge. Usually I dont like to mess with stuff that I buy, but I decided that the car would look better slammed. Wasn't to difficult to do... a few strips of modeling board, some hot glue, and a little wheel/fender trimming with an X-knife and this is what I got (sorry, forgot to to before pics) :







This is the first model that I've modified, nothing real special but I think it turned out pretty cool. Next comes a little paint

Comments?

Re: My latest project... Body Drop, anyone?

I don't know about out there - but since I live so close to the Detroit area there are places that have REAL hydraulics for your model vehicle kit. They have ones for just all 4 wheels and if you have a pick-up they have ones that you have all 4 wheels AND the actucal bed of the model.

If you look on E-Bay and stuff you'll find countless stuff out there...
