bondo bill Posted March 20, 2012 Share 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.

Mr.Zombie Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 How did you tint the windows with a marker so even? Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo bill Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share 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.
