Acquired on date.forgotten.'95 or '96
Got this toy car waaaaaaaay back when I was still in elementary. This was from a Shell gas station, if I'm not mistaken, you have to buy it but already forget how much it costs.
I collect model or toy vehicles back then.
This time, I tried customizing it as a Haruhi/SOS-dan itasha. Danny's Haruhi Car post or Hobby Blog's post here gave me an idea on how to customize a simple one. It's too plain
an itasha, btw.
The customization is too plain. The thing I didn't like about this car was its exhausts as I had a troubling time designing the sizes of the stickers. These stickers came from
its character song album jacket. Googled it then print using sticker paper, cut using a scissors and a designing knife.
I removed the Haruhi sticker few times. At first I sticked it at the left door then finally, the hood. What I like in this design, was the SOS団 sticker which I placed it in between the
"crack" (I don't know what it's called, is it Trunk?) where when opened, the "O" would be separated. You'll understand what I meant after the jump.
Tsuruya-san! Nyoro~n
See what I mean? "The "crack" has been separated". Hahah... too cheesy.
This is just too plain an itasha. Next time would be Fate/ stay night or Nanoha (or whatever comes in mind) if ever I find a nice car model kit/toy which is not that complicated to place the
designed stickers. In short, plain design as in box-type car.
BTW, Don't ask why the SOS-dan logo was not included. '_' (My hands are tired cutting them!)
