Scale-Master Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I have had this sitting around waiting "for the right time" for years. I know I bought it around this time of year, but what year? I have no idea. I had to play with it just for the engine... Once I got to the "waiting for the paint to dry before finishing it off time" on the GT-90, and having a couple holidays off, I figured the time was just right for this. A pretty straight forward build. A custom mixed DuPont base color from another project, urethane for the clear. Lots of hand painting of the details. Some ScaleMotorSport decals for the seat patterns, and some really old Scale-Master decals for the gauges. Some of the chrome parts were salvaged with Alclad, others, like the exhaust pipes for example, were, well lets just say "creatively" painted to hide some of the flaws, and some of the less seen and/or rougher parts became "aluminum" and "magnesium". I didn't try to fix everything, just make something fun in the short time I had to play. Well spent time in my world. Gotta love playin' with the toys...
CB Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Stunning! MCM should have a "Model of the year".............and I nominate "Slightly Altered". Dude! are you OK? in-freakin-credible!
fordh8r Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah, that thing is cool! Love the color. Nice! Was this a kit?

RadRidesByDan Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Bro.....I dont know what kind of drugs you were on when you built this ....but I sure hope that you have lots of extras to pass around....that is OFF THE HOOK SICK ......WOW!!!!!!!!!
plastikfreek Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I love what you did.............. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the "HotWheels" diecast cars that they came out with a few years ago...(1/16 scale?).......I have one stashed somewhere, but it definitely doesn't look like this!!!------------You did a great job of detailing the car out....It looks SWEET!!
evilone Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I hate to burst your bubble but i bought my uncle that one its a di cast.Still looks good bro i like how you did subtile changes to it .
RatRod Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Another great custom Mark!!! I love the "Slightly Altered", and big plans to do some off the wall stuff with 'em too when I bought my lathe & mill. Plans changed, and I now have about ten of these things I picked up on clearance......LOL. It sure looks better than the originals when customized!!!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 It's very futuristic looking, great design. Clean and smoth building and concept. Congrats on a wonderful job. Cheers.
