Deathgoblin Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Was curious on these: Are they made out of a decent styrene? I wondered about how the plastic would take painting/sanding/etc.
Brizio Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Nice paint job. A the last contest/show there was a make 'n take, with those Mustang, in red and yellow. They are pretty nice considering that they are a snap kit. The kids enjoyed them a lot, and start to play on the floor! There was a few decals laying around, I think from a Camaro snap kit. The Mustang Bumblebee was born! It looks good with stripes.
Tompidom Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 Was curious on these: Are they made out of a decent styrene? I wondered about how the plastic would take painting/sanding/etc. The plastic on the body's is fantastic, very thick and hard! Though the clear parts are a bit on the foggy side, but not to bad High time for an update, for the once how keep an eye out on my Youtube this won't be anything new, but I did not want to keep this from the rest of you guys. So here goes.... The video's: https://youtu.be/Sgg9NLr1SeI https://youtu.be/fc0vL2A9eNA https://youtu.be/97n59w5mqXQ https://youtu.be/jcAKgbCMhb0 The chassis started as a simple black 1 piece, So i cut out the exhaust(wich will be replaced later on) and gave it some color Some BMF and Clear red
Tompidom Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 And also painted some other bits and bobs Also gave the window rubbers some flatt black
