W.I.P. Saleen
« on: 11 January 2015, 01:24:15 PM »
I'm building a Testors Saleen S7 that's going to be a Mad Max-style pursuit vehicle. I've been blocking out the interior, but have no idea what to do with the frame.

Opinions


Would the above look better in basic black


or the more colorful


It's nothing, sir. Just a burn from a ray gun.

Colourful is fun.. but a saleen is rather exotic and perhaps suits the black better. Will you be doing other MFP vehicles? If so perhaps the black, if not.. just go the colourful ;)

Cheers

Here's what I'm thinking, roughly, substituting yellow for white

Well... What do you want?

Real world police:
Abu dabi police force?
German police force?

Post apocalypse trying to prevent chaos:
Mad Max police force?

Pick and paint accordingly. :D Good luck.

Cheers
Matt.

The last example is the one I would go with.

Multiple bright colours will show off the rusty/wrecked parts of the vehicle a lot better than a basic black would.
