Oops, I must have done that when I was dusting it for the pics, I didn't even notice but it will be fixed very soon. Yes it is lace on the roof, actually it was my first attempt at lace
I built this a couple of years ago from the hasegawa van. Other than the slight lowering of the front and the paint it is box stock. It is just a simple curbside build but fits in with my Vw collection,
Spray glue is kinda hard to get to lay smooth, I tried it and it looked lumpy when the flocking went on, and wasn't easy to remove. I stick with enamel paint in a colour close to the flock colour
I removed the stock arches from the mustang and then assembled the chassis with the wheels. I used them as a guide for gluing the spoons on, and the stock arches were used to give the edge detail and also helped give the spoons some more shape and remove the bubble look. There's some pics in the build thread on here that might show this better than my explanation
Depends on when childhood ends since I still buy hot wheels and other similar sized cars that interest me, but I have most from when i was a kid still. None are in their boxes and many have been repainted using whatever paint i could find. I could restore some of them but in their well used state i think they tell more of a story
I use coffee stirrers for decking, simple to cut and if you grab a handfull when you get coffee its freeish too. For my brbo I used citadel dirt wash to stain them

A skips fiesta 57 nomad, its an awful warped mess to the point both sides of the engine are different heights, the sides are concave like a boat hull and the front screen seems chopped on one side only. The interior and chassis are the only usable parts in the kit
