ismaelg Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi, I know this is not a plastic scale model. But at least is a scale car. For the first time in 6 years there has been activity in my workbench. About a year ago I started playing with this old Hot Wheels (1/64): (More details here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=94052 ) And it ended up like this: I added seat belts and a racing steering wheel Just for fun I made a parachute for it........ Done with Cobra Colors paints that were sitting for over 8 years but after vigorous shaking, came back to life. Cobra Colors Corvette Admiral blue and Corvette Arctic White Tamiya tape played an important part here as well. Still pending, believe it or not, a final polishing and buffing. I'm warming up!!!!! What do you think? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ismael!!! It is really good to hear from you again!!! We really missed you around here buddy!!! I really hope everything is great for you, and love what you're doing with the Hot Wheels car. I hope you're going to do more builds, but I understand if you don't. Great to at least to hear from you, and I will check out your Jet Threat II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Ed Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ismael, Great Restoration! Looks like what would have happened if Bruce McLaren and Art Arfons had gotten together to build a Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
