1986 Toyota Sprinter Trueno from Aoshima

On this build I decided to try something I saw on YouTube. You take a 3D model kit and paint it up like it is 2D anime. It is also known as CEL shading.

So I took this 1986 Sprinter Trueno kit from Aoshima and tried it out.

The various shades of purply blue on the windows was airbrushed on. Then I primered the car with Tamiya white primer. I then painted the hood with Mr Hobby black primer. All the other various shades of grey was hand painted on with a brush. Then I used a Gundam panel line marker to paint the panel lines and draw all those black lines on the model. Tehn I used a white gel pen to draw the highlights on the hood. And finally I sprayed the whole thing with a matte clearcoat.

I hope you enjoy.

Tehn I made an anime base to display it on.

Set the car on a piece of foamboard. Traced the shadow my workbench light left on the foamboard. and colored it in with a sharpie.

Then took a sharpie and a grey marker and colored in some anime road.

Ended up with this.

Well now that’s something new, I applaud your efforts, if I did t know better I would swear I was looking at a hand drawn 2d model. Fantastic paint work.

Very cool! Especially convincing when you have it on the base.

 

 

There's a guy locally that has wrapped his Nissan GTR in this style. It's mindbending in person!

Awesome job on this, looks like something right out of the pen of Shuichi Shigeno!

Thanks everyone.

I brought it in to a meeting of my local model club and everyone thought it was a paper model kit.  haha

Very cool. Great execution of an interesting idea.

Turned out great!! Low the idea on a model car! Have seen this on 1:1 on instagram as well and I can’t say I like the 1:1 idea. 

your execution is great!!
