The modified model car thread - pics

[MCWS]

They look really great. Nice details. Paint is much better than diecasts. I don't mind that it is a curbside model.

To customize they are a bit harder to change. But to look at they are second to none.

[anonymous-user]

Thanks - I doubt I'd customise it (beyond maybe putting UK number plates on). A left- to right-hand drive conversion would be good but beyond my skills unfortunately.

Keep up the good work, and keep posting the results!

This time a BMW M4 in Azurite Black on Vossen wheels.



The base model is without the "Performance Pack" and on stock wheels. The 1:18 model is from Paragon-Models.



Creating a rear spoiler.



3D designed and printed Vossen wheels. Took ages before I got them. The finish was quite ruf.



Now with a black interior.

always brings an uncontrollable smile when I see this thread.

OK, I did this Porsche 911 Moscow by Singer Vehicle Design a while ago. It was commisioned as a present for the owner.

First I got this to start with, a nice StarWar style postcard. Made with a colour sample of the body and the leather for the seats.



I found this kit to make the Singer as the AutoArt models are getting very scarce.



This kit is made of a humble Welly Porsche 911 RS.



Testfitting.



Most parts are painted and assambled.









The clear lenses for the headlights I made from teh original ones. Chosing the colours for the decals took a couple of tests.

I missed the update in early November. That Alfa is outstanding.

Just too late for a Xmas present, a Lotus XV from Dubai. Here in LeMans Classic livery.



The base model is a Lotus XI from Spark.



This curbside model is easy to strip.



Regular car filler to build up the new parts.





Sprayed in the same paint as the real car.



The new front window is a bit of a challenge. First one I ever did.



Also added wobbly wheels and a Ductape bucket seat wit roll bar.

Sometimes a regular Porsche 911 / 997 Turbo isn't special enough.



Some skirts and splitters extra?



A rear spoiler and bigf BBS rims?



Maybe a rollcage and big speakers?



Yeah, lets go for that!





Oh, new exhaust as well ofcourse.



Still need to refit the rear wheel. Looks a bit odd like this.

Picked up this Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. www.HydrodipHelmond.nl did the artwork for me.

BMW looks great! I'd have never thought of hydro dipping diecast but that's come out pretty well I think.

[MCWS]

More experiments to come. These were stock designs. Now I've made a couple myself. Very curious how they will turn out.
