This one was a really old Hotwheels car (1975!) Corvette Stingray and already came raised. I thought it needed a bit of a special paint job, so went with one of my favourite cars from my childhood: Face from the A-Teams Corvette.
This one's paint job was inspired by someone else's paint job I found online, I really loved the idea of a replacement door being a different colour. I also used a regular HB pencil to draw in the metallic scratch marks.
Here they are pre-painting, mostly Implements of Carnage bits (the darker grey plastic) but also some bits from an Airfix X-Wing model (the light grey).
And here's the team thus far:
More currently being painted...
Looking good. I like the subtle scratches and weathering. The car door is a really nice touch.
ReplyDeleteOooh, the scratch marks are ace! Haha, as I saw the Corvette I just screamed 'A-Team!' :D
ReplyDeleteLovely work, seriously.
