AMT shelby 350 gt

[happy grumpy]

Built stock. a really good kit that builds easy. I did not put the top decals , they were damaged in the box. I put the ones at the bottom since they were fine. In hindsight , I should have paint them but I like the way it came out. Paint is Tamiya TS 49 bright red. 

As always, thanks for looking .

I usually do an image search on google say, quebec license plates, then I copy the picure on an excel spread sheet , resize the picture to 1/25 or 1/24,then print on photo paper, cut out and glue it with either mod podge or micro krystal clear or even white glue. Thru trial and error I made templates for both 1/25 and 1/24 an all I have to do is to resize the pictures to fit the grid on the template. I have plates from the early 1910's to present. I have plates to last me a long time. I have some from the states , ontario and different other places. I even took a picture of my own car and put on the model I made of it.

hope this helps.

Man thats great, wish I had a real one.

Mario, it's nice to see one of your models and it sure looks great. I like it without the top decals.

I should probably learn to make license plates. Yours look so nice.

If you want to make your own vanity plates then go to:

For getting just the right look may I suggest water slide decals applied to genuine aluminum sheet from Home Depot.
