willciviceg5 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I bought my nephew a model kit a few months back which he assembled by himself and very strangely took care of and didn't break in bits apart from the rear glass engine cover.They are a very simplified kit and are lacking in detail but for a kid of his age it was ideal.He cornered me recently and said he wanted it painted blue so I took the chance to detail it while I was at itI fully stripped it down, detailed the full interior, painted the glass, added projectors to the headlamps, detailed the engine and chassis, stripped the chrome off the wheels and painted black, prepped the body then painted metallic blue and laqured.2 hours later (the quickest build I have ever done) and I was left with this.

misterNNL Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If anyone asks about that rear glass flaw tell 'em you were copying a detail from the real car that had a glass crack under extreme down pressure while driving at max velocity on the Autobahn.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
