410 Pro build As it’s my first ever Vanquish Product I’m leaving the chassis stock. It all seems pretty good to me. I don’t have a Lexan body, I’ve never done one before so this will be more about customising / painting the stock body but I’ll throw up a few shots I took of the chassis. Every part of this was an absolute pleasure to build but especially the axles. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ac026eab5e.jpg Low! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0173ae915.jpg Mostly complete https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c1e5bb857d.jpg A few close ups. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...51bf1cef52.jpg Showing the route the front driveshaft takes https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...83138c2ed4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...64b6b81061.jpg I was a bit disappointed the body had the mounting holes already cut, I’m sure I’d read somewhere they hadn’t cut them so I’ve set about a way to cover them. Very this polycarbonate sheet glued together to look like plates of steel https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cefc9f245e.jpg An opt technique for faux rivets is using white glue https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...337d5e2844.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c32de3fa46.jpg Just a dirty wash https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e17b7de86.jpg You know me and my rust lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ab44ced079.jpg A bit more weathering and were done https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...72c2a951e8.jpg It’ll take a while this one...... |

Hey, the rust is made using iron filings, acid, peroxide and salt. I did a how to here [emoji1303] https://youtu.be/ilMBAtfc6QU Dirty wash is just grey acrylic paint watered down and left to dry. |
Re: 410 Pro build Well, I got carried away and just could not put this project down [emoji23] Weathered the seats using some salt just to make them look a bit cruddy. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8132943355.jpg It was late, I was going to go brown but then I found a can of grey. Wasn’t sure but it works. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b60c034211.jpg Rusting the bed, or is that ****ing the bed? Anywhoo... painted the back with black and then flat clear over the top to dull it down. Same process of iron filings, acid, peroxide and salt to express rust it up a bit. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6048c155f9.jpg And this is where I started to snowball, I don’t like bodypins but they’re hugely convenient and quick so made a magnetic fuel cell cover from styrene. Painted silver and then translucent red over the top and a wash using grey acrylic watered down. An axial yeti spare fuel cell top came in handy! I had all sorts of things on the go and a dead phone battery (camera) so the pictures sort of didn’t happen unfortunately. Wish I had of taken more but none of it is rocket science [emoji1303] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ca2324edea.jpg |
Re: 410 Pro build Interior turned out great! Love the idea of using the fuel cell to hide the body clips.[emoji106] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |
