So lets Talk a bit about me and my LB project . My Name is Tobi i am from Germany 37 years old . I work i the paper industry and play Guitar in a christian metalband called Ancient Prophecy .
When i am not at work have time with my Family or am on the road playing gigs i go to my hobby chamber building Tamiya cars since i am 7 years old. This here is a LunchBox wich i got for a steal price , already with oilshocks and Junfac dampermount and gearbrace. When i stripped the paint caus i didnt like the purple i noticed that the body was not in that good condition as it seemed . so what to do ..... right make it a custom build enough words here we go.

The purple came of quite well but underneath it the preowner used a green and some sort of alloy or zinc spray it sticked really good to the body so i decided to keep it and just give it a sand. Now you can see the big holes he made for the backlights and put them in with putty .
They needed to be closed .

After some sanding smoothing sandig i realised that the strange paint the preowner used somehow made the body brittle there were thousand of micro cracks in the surface , so i decided to do a more rough detailed surface then i had planned. Then my Camera quit and i lost some steps in the build, so i can only post some wide steps. The panels are made of polystyrene sheet , The Rivets are made using woodglue mixed with talcumpowder wich is applied with a injection syringe with the needle cut flat on the tip.

Had a lot of fun bashing her arround but i decided to get the things a bit further . Had something in my mind the whole time and so i decided to give her a new mock up .
First i decided that she needs some proper backlights that suit the theme that was going around in my head . The new Crew also arrived and gave everithing a first check.
