View Full Version : February Build-a-Scion Contest


scionlife
02-04-2005, 03:55 PM
I'm making this month's contest a little tougher. Your task will be to build a scale-model Scion (tC/xA/xB) and photograph it. You must build this model from scratch using common household materials. It could be Play-Doh, aluminum foil, a wood carving, etc. It can be as simple or as complex as you want.

-=PRIZE=-
The prize for this month's contest is your choice of the following:
- A Hotchkis lowering spring kit for your Scion model courtesy of www.hotchkistuning.com
- An AudioFormz fiberglass xB subwoofer enclosure courtesy of www.audioformz.com
- A one-year Premium Membership to Scion Life, including stickers and plate frame

-=RULES=-
- You may NOT use any pre-manufactured car parts or car-shaped parts such as wheels, emblems, etc.
- The components must be available to anyone (hardware store, grocery store, etc)
- The scale is up to you, but must be smaller than a real Scion
- Your photo must have your Screen Name in it (written on model or paper, added with Photoshop)
- Your final model SHOULD be recognized as a Scion, although all skill levels are invited to compete

-=JUDGING=-
As always I am the sole judge and my decision is final. I will be choosing the winner based solely on creativity. I might choose a model that isn't perfectly Scion-shaped if it is biult out of something that I would never have expected... so dig deep on those junk drawers!

The contest will end at midnight on February 28th.

And........ GO!

Nice job people. Keep up the hard work. Can't wait to see who D crowns this month.

Goodnght, I don't how you didn't eat that after you were done with it. If it were mine, it would probably only have 2 wheels, no grill, and pretty much no body. That's a waste of good snacks... :rofl: j/k.....nice job though...very creative.

This is my first contest!!! this took me 2 days to build, and it was genuwinely not easy! i used legos as brackets to hold the different sections of popsicle sticks together, along with a little tape(cheap i know but i couldnt get the glue to hold well to the legos. I had some help from my 4 year old sister on this one (we built a bird cage too....) anyway, here it goes!

I'm asuming your talking to me? Well, I was in such a hurry to put it on I forgot to put my screenname which will be done later today and as for the wheels, those also will be done later. Currently it's ALL made of foam so I don't see what the problem is other then me forgetting my screen name?

the wheels man, the wheels, it clearly states in the rules that there can be no pre-fab car parts in your model.

Hey, Orataro, nice job man! Don't think I am knocking you for this but you are fabricating something at work, right? Does that fall under the rules since it says components must be available to anyone? I am just wondering, good job either way!

It's a piece of foral foam that was laying around the shop. Anyone can buy that at any craft store or flower shop.

These are pics of the next R.S. Scion Xb; RS Cake Edition. It's a three layer cake with vanilla icing. The wheels are completely "custome" (made from melted chocolate). Mods on this sweet thing are Motegi wheels, tein coil overs and blue under body neons.....who wants a slice?

Thanks to Sir Scion and Scionscorpion for the information. I now see the help at the top of the "Post a Reply". Will try it early to make sure I can get my entry posted before end of Feb. Thanks again.
POST ATTEMPT.................A lot of attempts, but finally. Thanks again.

Date: 19 Jun 2031
After record breaking sales 27 years in a row, SCION (now owns Toyota and Lexus’) is believed to have run out of colors for the 2033 xB RS 30 series (limited to just 22,000 vehicles). However, Scion has announced they will come out with the Rainbow Scion (specifically aimed at generation XB).
With 4 wheel drive/steering, the 1.0L hydrogen powered engine pumping out 375 BHP, this is not the car for the weak at heart, but just right for the youth market that Scion so desires to please. And for the Tree-huggers, “0” emissions (except H20 that is.)

Made from: Rainbow sherbet (body), Fruit Gems (lights), Mint Pattys for the wheels (carved out for white), Licorice Sticks (Grill work, rear protector and windshield wipers).

The xB is the only Scion, unless you are really good, that would not be mistaken for a Nissan, Mits, Chevy, Etc. Perhaps we all realize our skill level, and work with the easily distinguished xB. Plus, I have one, so I have a rather large model to down-size.

Here's my entry. I started with a large chunk of balsa, and using a sharp pocket knife, dremel, and sandpaper, got the shape I wanted. Lots of primer, then sanding, then primer, then sanding and some metallic paint got me where I wanted to be. Some detail work and many clear coats made the paint really pop. You can see some reflections in the paint in the last couple pictures.

I have never made anything like this, but with enough time I was able to get what I wanted. The whole car is one piece of balsa, which I am pretty proud of.
