Matt Bacon Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) What do you mean? Is there some other kind of GTO? If it ain't a Gran Turismo Omologato, it ain't a GTO... at least from where I'm sitting! That's really cool! Nice work on a ?Hot Wheels? mini. I have a red one, myself. Did you make the decals yourself? If so, they've come out really well. What kind of decal paper do you use? My only suggestions are that you might try painting the headlights silver after all that effort elsewhere, and if it really matters to you, the black in the scoops behind the rear wheels is in the wrong place - the "hole" opens into the wheel arch to let hot air out from cooling the brakes, and the scoops themselves are solid. Thanks for sharing! all the best, M. Edited December 15, 2011 by Matt Bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks guys. Yes, I made the decals myself. I'm using Decafix paper. I did another version using this GTO casting and painted the headlights as you describe, but it drew attention to them in a bad way. It is just a Hot Wheels and in no way meant to be a realistic replica of anything. The black behind the vents (among other things) is something I can do on a Hot Wheels that I would not do on a "real" model. It was meant as a styling accent, not a hogged out crescent in the fender... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Oh, it was Ferrari GTO, I was thinking about Pontiac GTO.... But really nice job you did, again. I like that color and those stripes just fit really nicely to the look. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
