Tamiya BigWig #4 "Shadow Edition" 10 years 3 weeks ago #28135

HI!... Well I got the BigWig body painted last night with some special flat black paint. Don't know if I like it. Because of painting the body from the inside it still came out gloss black. I'm 50/50 on it right now. I might end up painting the outside of the body like EDOU did on his Black Wolf Top Force project. I like that look better. I picked up a NIP BigWig roof panel and vintage Pro-Track sway bar kit for it. Also swapped out the black dyed MoonCraft wheels for some 2.2 Tamiys one's. I dyed these black as well. Still haven't decided what I'm going to do with decals yet. I might just not go with any. Do u guys think I should leave it as is, or paint the ouside of the body flat black?

I think the gloss black looks killer-good.

HI!... O.k I got the PRO-TRACK sway bar installed and painted black. Currently painting the driver. I'm using a regular BigWig driver body but with a Avante head. You'll see why. :P

Yes the gloss does add a great contrast :y: For your decals maybe just adding some accent stripes similar to a tron car?

I think it's excellent. I'd still be wondering how it would look in matt though (but that's my own deviance). :whistle:
Going for some subtle decals sounds like a good idea in any case.
Looking forward to the next update.

WOW, the Black edition, just like AMG. :D I think if you have a look over at TamiyaClub and a user there called Wyoming, he used some sort of clear on the outside of lexan to give it a moderate flat appearence, but since you have 2 more TBG bodies, how about shooting that flat color on the OUTSIDE of another body and see what you like or dislike about that. I think the modern wheels look a bit better, but those tires are begging for some lettering details, perhaps in the blue ala Tron. Seems a TC user by the name Stickerbod could point you in a decal direction, but it really looks cool without much, so perhaps some pinstriping will be just the trick.
