  1. did this with decal paper i sprayed candy orange over clear decal sheet then layed the decal behind the glass
  2. its easier to apply the glue to the foil then work from there also cheap dollar store foil is easier to work with
  3. "Only if you want it" named after a Eazy E tune
  4. brush it on then let it dry then use, i noticed first hand that it has a strong bond but if you dry brush it just right it has the same adhesion as bmf but you have to have a super fresh number 11 to get clean cuts. it burnishes well and has a little flex
  5. it screams sex on wheels
  6. thanks i did a 58 impala diecast with the same method heres the rest of the cadillac
  7. took a good 4 hours but it came out decent the tinfoil cost about 70 cents and its about as thick and flexible as bmf
  8. this was a toy so next to a 1/24 this car is 3 scales smaller give or take. only caprices i know about is the modelhaus 80s box impala/caprice and the 2 door coupe made by Twinn on layitlow
  9. off a revell 32 street rod its a old kit molded in yellow
  10. made from a old ertl toy the plastic proved to be a challenge to paint but i conquered it the look is something i used to see in my neighborhood none of these cars exist anymore because the gangbangers that drove them loved having demolition derbies with them
  11. update
  12. i learned not to strip them to bare metal i sand them down with 600 to level it out then lay the paint on them
  13. the body is a resin conversion from jimmy flintstone the wheels are from the bin with the tires painted to simulate the new generation vogue tire this is pretty much it its a slammer so i doesnt have brake or headlight detail next is a diecast 74 gremlin we owned one when i was 6 ours had seen better days but after the diecast was released i decided to build what ours wouldve looked like new. shaved the roof rack and rear window visor

  18. i kept trying that and it bled under every time and the lines were limited to what the pen is available in
  19. i upped the ante a little today,Vogues
  20. just tried this today and you made me a happy man
  21. i started using my heat gun to get them open and it saves the lid from being wrecked
