I have been wanting to do this for a year....
Filing the shape first, then sanding

Then primer

Then finish coat

Then I started detailing...
car6.jpg
DC4.jpg
car7.jpg
Then I finally found the right wheels to put on..
What does that proportion look like, 32" wheels?

car9.jpg
A little rough, but I took first place in the adult races!!

thanks, I only spent two days on it. I think the cabin is too far back. Next year I will take more time on the basic shape of the car, and sand it smoother.
I think I will replicate my DeVille next year

thats just weird. (not that, but whats about to follow)
i had a dream about that car (the itty bitty wooden one, not the big one) last night. except i was painting it, and i realized halfway through i was painting it wrong, id put bonne headlights and taillights on it when it was supposed to be a BMW 5-series . . .
i approve of this thread.
