The modified model car thread - pics

[MCWS]

Thanks!

Just before my holiday I started on this Fiat Dino Coupe. The real car.



The base model by BoS in scale 1:18 is a perfect match.



Now in the right colour and it suddenly start to look like the real Fiat Dino Coupe.



Making it more realisitic with a new steeringwheel, some badges and plates.

A colour change job and also introducing a new shed. The black/red Corvette C1 will be blue in and outside. The Fiat is going to be red but the Merc I don't know yet. All 3 stay together and will be displayed next to the McLaren and Mini I did earlier.

Hi Roverload,

Aren't any decal sets available for these slotcars?

[MCWS]

I recon this is more something for the slotcar guys. I have no idea about the required strength of the body nor the influence of extra weight.

[MCWS]

Nice! I really should try the light theme.

On page 2 I started with the Singer Porsche 911. Time to continue.



The general shape is OK. Satisfied with the new rear wing although it needs a bit of work.







The bottom part of the wheel arch infront of the rear wheel is much thinner so again the Dremel is patient to cut away the metal. First I had to fill the inside of the wheel arch to keep the right form as the arch should still follow the lines of the rear wheel.

A picture is much clearer.

Some new models I did.

A Ford Escort MKII, presently entering the Historic Belgium Rally scene (just like the 911 RSR).





A Mercedes-Benz Typ 300C Adenauer (bespoke steering wheel)





Started of like this



And a 1965 VW Beetle





The Bug started of as a Yatming model



Also the Mini Cooper Cabrio, a present for a dear friend of mine.

Thanks Raff!

The base model of this rusted Peugeot 403 cabrio is from Welly in scale 1:18



After grinding off the front wing and making some damages the first layers of paint goes on. Brown and orange.



An old blue/grey paint for a period feel



Couple of wires are added





The wheels still require some more weathering









The front is nearly ready. Just a touch of brown and maybe a license plate and a windscreen wiper.







The rear





The interior is shabby as expected.

[MCWS]

Couple of small added details

Just a bit of fun with an Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione

A lucky guy found his car in miniature under the Xmas tree.

This is the real car



I started with two models from Ricko, a regular 147 (for the interior, lights and windows) and de GTA racer.



The front spoiler on the GTA racer is too big. Removing it is easier said than done.







And finally, after respraying the interior, putting all the decals on and adding new wheels, it looks like this.

[MCWS]

This weathered model is based on a Datsun 240 Z by Sunstar.



Couple layers of paint, modified interior and new wheels and now its an old tired rusted Datsun.
