tim08 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 This was my first time redoing a 1/64 Hot Wheel. Did it for a project a while back. First I took the Bone Shaker, grinned the front, the engine, and a little from the body. Made the top, and rear deck with aluminum sheets. Made valve covers, intake, grill case, and breather from plastic card stock. The pipes were made with solder...that was a pain. Wires are individual telephone wire strands, painted. Body was stripped, and given the salt weathering treatment I learned from the military guys. The moons are thumbtacks grinned and smoothed out. Stuck them on with poster tac. It was a fun little build, may redo another Hot Wheel sometime.
Harry P. Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 First I took the Bone Shaker, grinned the front,... Cool! Just one question: what does "grinned" mean?
trogdor Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Might as well keep nit picking, shouldn't that be ground ? Cool project
LAone Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 so, now that the proper grammer has been put into effect. the little rat looks good. i bought a few of these to one day do the same.
Chuck Most Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I have the larger Boneshaker (1:43?), and its one of my favorites in my diecast collection. Love this one! Redoing Hot Wheels cars is the one thing I haven't tried yet!
chev12olet Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 That really cool its got to take some good ol'patience.
torinobradley Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I love the boneshaker. Awesome job with the paint! I have several of these as well and hope to someday get around to redoing a few. I have a couple of the old Johnny Lightning T Streetrod kits in this scale and they are great because they come with a lot of extra parts. Might want to try and find one. Was planning on trying a little mix and match with them (motors and wheels) and see what I come up with.
Scale-Master Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Considering the BoneShaker has a skull with a face, I was looking for a smile added to it... Nice to see others turning Hot Wheels into models...
