Pat Minarick Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Hello, this is my second post on Model Cars forum. Lot of nice stuff on here. Well this is what I'm working on right now,trying to keep some of the Monkeemobile look. Hope you like it. It's going to be a delivery. I shorten up the rear ,then the front. I added an extra set of rear wheel opening up front and getting rid of the headlights ,also making a forward opening hood.

Psychographic Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 How about clear Styrene painted candy red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Plastic covered with BMF and then coated with clear red looks pretty good as a taillight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 How about clear Styrene painted candy red? I like to stack clear red plastic between flat sheets then glue that into an opening in the body ,then grind it to fit. You can polish the red plastic and push it out from the back .paint the body then slide them back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
