Nissan 240ZG: Track Toy

[Danny Lectro]

I applied some dry transfer decals from Revell's Pinewood Derby line.

I did notice the very obvious carrier film left around the decals after application, but I thought it might look like someone had stuck on some really cheap vinyl decals, so I left them in place to reinforce the slap-dash appearance I'm going for.

I tried using black chrome BMF, but I thought it made any overlaps way too obvious, so I did the trim with masking and semi-gloss black Tamiya paint.

I used a pale gray-blue paint from Ammo Of Mig Jimenez to make it look like the paint had been chipped away from the fiberglass parts attached to the body.

Tamiya Transparent Red to represent anodized lug nuts, and some Ammo of Mig Jimenez gray panel line wash in the hubs to give some depth.

Ammo of Mig Jimenez Metallic Silver and Chipping to make chips and scratches on the steel parts of the body.

Body attached to chassis, almost done except for a couple of little details.
