[MOC] PF Controlled Hot Rod

[selfshot]

Hey folks,

Here's my first motorized Hot Rod moc. It's driven by one XL and steering is handled by an M motor. Lights are kind of useless to be honest as it's quite too fragile to drive in dark in my already crowded living room :p But hey, details are details!

Here are some of the shots, you can find rest of the pictures on my Flickr profile;

I'll record a video and upload/post it as soon as i get my hands on a Gopro or any camera better than my iPhone 4S.

Thanks!

Woww, bad @$$ car! r really like the shape andover all aspect, i don't like the grey of the motor and maybe i would have covered the battery box with black panels, and maybe the front grill has too much black, maybe a bit of red.. but just my personal taste, you did an amazing job! Well done!l

Honestly, the grey on the engine should be chromed, i don't have any chrome parts. However, i tried painting those grey pieces with metallic silver model paint, brush marks annoyed me a lot, so i left it as it is. Additionally the exhaust pipes on the fake engine could be chromed too, again the same method of painting them didn't work.

I also ended up having not enough black tiles to cover the top of the battery box :) it also already got quite heavy for one XL motor to drive it, lost quite a bit speed with how it currently is.

I totally agree with the grill. Red 2x1 grill pieces covering the bottom half of the grill might have looked more blended in, yet i don't have red grill pieces :)

I worked on this for almost about 2 months on and off. I got to the point of abandoning it a few times, so i didn't order and wait for any specific parts. I just found myself wanting to complete it as it is.

Thanks for your support and constructive feed back everyone.

I like this. For colour changes, there's always Photoshop.

These new tires are screaming for this kind of stuff. I might have worked on putting MT figures inside the car or at least posed them with it. Mine have been sitting in a plastic box since I was a kid. ~20 years or so.
