Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... First mod was to make it sound as real as it looks.... The ESS-Dual sounds bad ass and has a perfect V8 sound for a Bronco. I also put some cheap red diff covers on. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/HY7ZJy.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/Fz2vHL.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Here is a tire test with PitBull Mad Beasts on G-Made steelies. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/xq6wJL.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Here is a tire test with RC4WD Swampers on white spoke steelies. This setup is my new favorite. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/wc6c3R.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... I like it too.. Love these rigs. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Got the lug nuts in the installed and got a chrome push bar on the front. I still cant wait for some chrome "nerf" bars. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/hnKnC7.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Been working on this for a while. Actually ruined a body on the first attempt. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/rzWomN.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/Y4lHBe.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/YNtYsb.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/J9CN62.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... I have been trying to match the color on my 2011 F-150 for a long time. I think i finally did it with this Bronco. Its part Duplicolor and part Tamiya Copper color. The tan is Krylon sweet Cream. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/wbyfU4.jpg Model next to tailgate of F-150 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/FJGVYL.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... This is the truck I got the inspiration from https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/859aEH.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/8DREdf.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Have to ask- How did you tackle the racetrack trim? Both of the 2tone colors look fantastic. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Quote:
Thanks. The chrome trim is mylar pinstripe and it was a pain in the a$$. You have to use a heat gun to get it to bend. I tried using Spaztiks Mirror Chrome paint because I have had great results with it and it looks like chrome but I had serious bleed through with the pinstripe masking tape on the first body attempt. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... You may be saving me some serious headache and expense here so thank you! I'm actually planning on using the SpazStix Ultimate Mirror Chrome for mine too. Two more additional questions... Idk if that paint is available in brush-on as well as spray but I've got the spray. Was the SpazStix Ultimate Chrome that you used a spray or brush-on? And also what kind of tape did you use? I've got some Tamiya 2mm that I was planning on using for the RT trim but if that's what you originally used along with SpazStix spray, then looks like I'm going to have to go another route. Fwiw I laid down some of the Tamiya 2mm tape on some scrap lexan to see how flexible it is and I'm already concerned because it pretty quickly started to lift up along the inside edge along the tight curves... sigh. Thanks so much for the helpful tips. |

Well I dont know if this is good for you or bad but I also used Tamiya 2mm mask. This is my first body attempt using Spaztiks Chrome for the trim. It would have come out awesome if the mask had stayed down (there were other significant eff-ups on the first body that I am too embarrassed to show :oops:). https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/3sXWNB.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/XDGaY4.jpg |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Go to the auto parts store and pick up a roll of vinyl pinstripe, it’s very flexible. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Quote:
Actually that's what I used, not mylar as I incorrectly said. The vinyl pinstripe has to be heated to conform to curves this small. On a full size car the curves are much bigger and the vinyl follows curves easier. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... Looks great!! Love the color scheme. |
Re: Shape_Shifter's Bronco Looks so Real..... A set of LockeupRC Iconic 1.9 wheels with the widener ring would look pretty darn close to the 1:1 truck you used as inspiration. 1.9" Iconic SLWC Beadlock Wheel |
