Man that gold coupe at the end when you're showing the wheel wells with the circle templates that thing is bright gold and this beautiful love that paint job man
Your models have so much work put into them just outstanding.Custom paint,plastic works and especially time and patience.Thank you for taking the time to make these wonderful videos.Keep them coming
Man you are a really good builder amazing working with watch every single video you have on your channel and everything is amazing work lots of custom work awesome paint awesome plastic work everything into your scratch building is amazing too and this is a pretty cool little video I like it it's out of the box ways of doing it but hey it's cheap and easy I'm going to try some of the ways you just mentioned on here
Awesome video! Very creative out of the box ideas! I love how informative this video was. Sharing some really great ideas. I salute you good Sir. I also subscribed in hopes you will upload more videos!,
I didn't see any mod podge in Your Arsenal... that stuff is excellent for gluing in your Windows because it dries Crystal Clear it's also great for making headlight and taillight lenses
I’ve taken the goggly eyes that you showed earlier in your video and took a brick of staples run a lighter over them to get them hot then press the eyes on to them to give the head light the actual look of a light
I'm not sure how many car models you have to buy, swap, or build, to amass a collection of wheels such as you present here. I must also confess to a slight snicker upon seeing, in a matter of seconds of the start of this posting, a collection of Evergreen styrene stock that, together, probably equals the cost of a new kit. I build car models on a budget, mostly kits I purchased twenty or more years ago. I regularly look through Dollar stores and craft stores for possible parts, but pickings are decidedly slim. I find most stickpins and sewing pins too large for use as shifters (your average stickpin head translates to a ball 3 and a half inches wide) or antenna toppers, plus the steel used tends to snap rather than bend, severely limiting the application. Oddly enough, some of the best deals can be had ordering aftermarket parts: Model Car Garage, for instance, produces a set of 18 throttle linkages for about 8 bucks; that's less than 50 cents a car. Using fake fingernails as air scoops is an interesting tip; I figure I might make one, or maybe two models with such an accessory. Certainly, however, it is better in the long run to buy a big roll of wrapping wire that may be used for electrical, ignition, and even brake lines, rather than those tiny packets sold by the aftermarket companies, so it pays to know what you are getting. These extras all add to the cost of building a kit, but it is usually the tiniest of touches that really makes a scale model stand out; that said, I have yet to see a steel 'Anglia' or 'Studebaker' script in 1/25 scale at the Dollar store or Michael's. Thanks for posting.
My Mom makes jewelry and shit like that. She has tons of stuff like that. Never thought to look through that stuff! I've used some of her wire for various things but never thought about some of the self sticking "jewels" !!l
i just seen this comment,, lol. yeah they are fine, i also send them in the post to mates in different states to take to shows for me, the purple 34 gasser made it there and back with no damage..
Your BASIC approach is EXACTLY what newbie’s like me need to know. Thank you MATE !

awesome, they really add a nice touch to get your engines looking more realistic.
Great video!! Gets me thinking about all the cheap stuff I still need to look for
Try Bic ink pen caps for your hot rod headlights. They look like they may work.
I didn't see any mod podge in Your Arsenal... that stuff is excellent for gluing in your Windows because it dries Crystal Clear it's also great for making headlight and taillight lenses
it’s wasn’t really available when i made the video in Australia, i have some now and use it occasionally.
Some great tools and tips man, Thanks!
Thanks for sharing all of these great tips.
thanks for sharing you got some great builds there
Been trying to find a way to build an engine blower, never even crossed my mind to use fake nails, thanks!
thank you, good video
Can you share a link to the jars of flocking you have? I've found a few but not sure it's the right stuff.
I just buy them from ebay, search for nail art, i now buy it cheaper in bigger bags from a seller in the UK..
I’ve taken the goggly eyes that you showed earlier in your video and took a brick of staples run a lighter over them to get them hot then press the eyes on to them to give the head light the actual look of a light
You have a awesome channel brother I just subscribed to you
🤔Maybe the end of a sharpie cap could be a headlight bucket.

How did you do the paint work on the gold car
I used glitter then a hell of a lot of clear then sanded it flat, took a long time, but looks killer in the sun.
Sound is terrible.
Thanks, its recorded on my phone.
This sounds like stroppy....
Who’s Stroppy? not me..
