bondo bill Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I built this out of an AMT kit box-stock with the exception of the tires. I used Testors Lime Ice lacquer base with hand-painted Modelmaster acryl graphics over the top. Inspiration came from the phrase Chilly Willy, and the red and green theme turned this model into a "Chili Willy's" for a little play on words. The windows are tinted with red marker. Comments are welcome!
High octane Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Lookin' good! Nice job on an old AMT favorite and good color choices also.
Terry Sumner Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Man...did you hand paint all those chili peppers and the graphics??? Great job!

crazyjim Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Pretty cool, but now you put the need for some Chili's chips & salsa in my mind.
Mr.Zombie Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 How did you tint the windows with a marker so even? Unbelievable.
bondo bill Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 How did you tint the windows with a marker so even? Unbelievable. I just used a wide flat tipped permanant marker,tested it on some scrap and was happy with the result. I think it helps that these were small windows.
