Bastardo Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Another die-cast modded Faaaar away from being perfect, but it'll do as a dust-catcher The base for this is a Bburago Corvette pace car snap-kit in 1:24 which I got as a gift a few years ago. I've had no problems with the mods, but the paint on the body gave me a few slaps during the build. Flat silver with graphics - didn't work out. Flat black with a wannabe checker flag airbrush over it - didn't work out. I ended up with Model master chrome silver on it and left it flat on purpose The mods are mostly done inside the car (roll-cage, stripped interior, seatbelt, ...) and on the undercarriage (Tamiya Porsche 911 GT wheels, brake discs and calipers from a plastic Corvette donor kit, removed the "Bburago" emblems, ...). The body itself is mostly box-stock. The WIP can be seen here. It's in slovene so feel free to ask anything you want to know about it A few shots of the finished build: It hardly deserves words of praise, so let the curses and dislikes fly...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I think these kinds of diecasts (or kiosk diecasts, as I like to call them) are toys for kids not so much for adults to collect them.
