Meh........not bad. J/K

Are you going to BMF the window and fender trim too?

I'll mod my cars and send them to you for paint.

I check supercar1 almost daily and haven't seen one pop up on there yet. Hope he finds one.

BMF?
I do plan to paint the chrome trim on the windows. My real car I am simulating doesn't have the fender lip chrome on it so that will remain blue.


Id paint cars for ya.
It wasn't even bad, the Testors spray can paint goes on nice. Didn't even need clear coat.

Bare metal form. It's a very thin foil adhesive that you can put on window and wheel well trim to give it a "realistic" look. Google it and watch some vids on it. Pretty cool stuff.

If my "skills" fail me I just may ship it to you.

Ah, 1:18 modder lingo

Sounds interesting. I was maybe going to use aluminum colored paint and a tiny brush.

Just a couple more I've messed with lately. Been too busy doing reno work on the house to really get into these things.

I lowered the 64 Impala a little, but when the time comes it will be tucking the fronts and sitting lower out back.....


Just added the custom Street Fighter wheels to the 65 C-10 for now.....



Started my own 55 Bel Air.....(rear will get dropped a bit more)


Blasted the Lil Red Express for body mods ( don't know when that will be)


To be continued

Who's up next?

Edit: In case some are wandering......yes, I have many sets of those same wheels. As I build one that uses this set they'll get painted to match that specific car....maybe.

Those look nice.
Do you know if there is a mod to do to the headlight plastic, in order to make them look more real?
I always found that they are what gives away a model in photographs.
