Default Ups'essa

It' quite a long time now that my Losi MRC is left aside… since I'm in a scale phase it doesn't interest me that much anymore.
I also have a Lunchbox body wich needs to be painted…
Put the 2 together and I have my winter project.

I want to make it rusty… I think it's a model from 1977…
After almost 30 of heavy service it deserves rust

Wow! To be honest, by the first pics I thought you had way overdone the rust, but once it all came together, and looks quite realistic. I think it looks great! Love the UPS theme. Way to do something out of the ordinary! Now get to work on those shiny wheels and undercarriage.........

WOW! That looks fantastic! I was very sceptical in the early pictures but the last set of pictures are great. Love it.

You should put a "free candy" sticker on it for the kids. Love the build so far, creeper vans rock!

Nice work!

The shallow depth of field makes it look like its a micro and not a mini.

What is up with the wheels without tires?

Very nice work!


I think the UPS stuff needs to be weathered some, or more. The lettering still looks years younger than the van itself. Great attention to detail though and very realistic looking.

Absolutely fantastic, great work.


Any plans to give the wheels that weather and rusted look?
