Has anyone seen these in stores yet? They are all over fleabay

The easiest way to do it, but not the most inexpensive, is to get the mask done for you. Basically you want to first paint the bottom of the truck the darker color, then mask off what would stay dark and then spray the lighter part. So you go to a place where they make vinyl stickers and lettering. Some malls have little carts that do things like that. Get the kid that works there to make the mask for you from vinyl. You need to make a template of the entire surface from masking tape first and then give the person at the sticker shop the template and a picture of the design. It will probably cost you about $20, but worth every penny. Basically you want a sticker of the flames, but when they clean up the sticker before applying the transfer sheet, the actually remove the flames and leave the surrounding material.

I love it. There is nothing more I like, than seeing various things from around us that were not intended for models to find their way to a custom, fun build.

Thank you guys.

Thank you for the kind words. It is a 1:18 Hot Wheels car. The photoetch came from a guy in Germany. He does post on e-bay under Tremonia

Thank you guys. Here is the model with the real thing it was modeled after.

If these wheels are Pegasus, then they are mated to the outer rims of another wheel. I was asking what exactly they are, because they fit the Aluma coupe tires so well

Lets revive this….. The model is finished. Enjoy the pictures and thank you for looking.

Really cool. What are the rear wheels from?

I love the gold color.

Absolutely stunning job on the exhaust.

Thanks for all the great comments guys. The brakes were shot yellow and some Ferrari photoetched emblems were applied. All the ugly, sloppy moulded plastic grilles were replaced with photoetched ones too.

The engine also received some photoetch, paint detailing and carbon fiber.

I love the color. Make the interir chocolate brown. I think it will compliment the exterior quite well and it will keep it somewhat unusual.

Thanks guys. Here are the door panels as they came on the model. Everything in the interior was in that ugly gray plastic. also the steering wheel cluster was a little modified. The paddles were thinned and slightly reshaped. The headliner got a little destroyed, because it was riveted to the roof, so I had to rebuilt it in the middle. Here is what the dash looked like just after been painted black The dash after receiving its carbon fiber trim. The interior all done.

Cool, but only one picture? No fair!

At first I asked myself "how to hell did I miss this thread?" And then I was : HOLLY THREAD RESURRECTION BATMAN!!!!

The seats got painted with some yellow inserts to match the exterior. They look way better in person, but still need some touching up here and there.

Other than the "before" pictures I am showing, no. I never took a picture of the model before I disassebled it. It is metal, but the front and rear bumpers were all plastic with horrible mold lines under a crappy paint job. I replaced them with metal ones from another model, corrected all the rough spots on the body and repainted it. I wrote "from a toy to a replica" as I am doing this as a replica of a friend's car.

Love the color and the paint. Considering the attention to the color itself, I can expect this build to be something special.

Before clean up. You can see some nimor flash on the seat on the left. I just touched up a couple of holes with my drill.

Thank you. And here are the seats cast in resin.

Wrong. They are all into one-off flashy hypercars, like Matt pink Lamborghinis. These type of cars go to collections in either US or Europe. Very rarely to the middle east. And believe it or not, A LOT of them are not only driven the way they were meant, but in some occasions even trade paint.

Thank you guys. The body was stripped, primed and painted PPG Giallo Modena, with two part clear. Right after the clear was wet sanded. Then everything got polished to a wet shine.
