TooOld Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Started this Polar lights kit more than a year ago but it got pushed aside . Last month I came up with an idea and started playing around with it again . These are really simple snap kits , but with a little bit of detailing they display nicely . Hope you like it !

espo Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm not familiar with this kit, but it looks like a fun build. Lots of great detailing really make it stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsnapper55 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Cool! I have one of these on the bench that I have pushed aside too. I like the ideas that you have incorporated. What did you use for the smoke on the tires - is that a caulking of some sort? Are the flames made of the same and painted? I can't decide what to do with the windows on mine and whether or not to do an interior, but I like how you just blacked yours out.Thanks for posting your build!

The windows in my kit were molded in black plastic so I had no choice , and the flames are made from translucent modeling clay . For the smoke I tried a dozen or more different products until I settled on what you see here . . . still need a bit of practice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 An exquisitely turned out rendition. Also, I can't help but remark what a nice representation of 1:1 this CarToon version actually is. Perhaps it's because you captured the color and details so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
