Finally Finishing The ReRe Honda City Turbo

Recommended Posts

Update: Paint details were added but then i got distracted and decided the car needed emblems.

I love things that say "Turbo" even though this is not a Turbo 2 car.

Soon as those are painted I will glue them on and clear coat the whole car. Then then lights!

Well thank you. Honestly I make all of my projects way too crazy. I always get to the point of "I hate this car" just as I finish it. The wheeler has been different because I have hated it since the day I built it. The fact that this thing exist's still is a testament to how much I love the body.

Now on to the lights! Interior parts are next and I guess I need to paint what's his face. Uhg. The helmet. I might wimp out on that one.

You can always prime the head white and then just paint his face. Looks decent enough.

Ain't that the truth? It seems you have 2 choices. Go all out or half *** it. I just did one a while ago with the primer only helmet. I'm quite happy with it. The other dude is STILL not finished lol.

The figure is fun to paint, just take your time and enjoy it.

If you don't fancy box art there's lots you can do with them. I love painting them (though it's possible that I'm a bit mad!!).

You've made this body way too nice to run.  Looks great, I love all the emblems you've created for it.

You must see how I run it, lol. Plus, considering this POS still is incapable of a left turn, it hasn't been run yet.

Installed the tail light and turn signal kit:

I have a couple video series im putting together to show what light kit I used as well as how to install all of it. Spoiler alert, the Tamiya on eBay that I test did not win. There is no way it is actually Tamiya, it just can't be. It's trash. Unless you go for the higher end ones, all the cheap light sets leave you longing.
