My car in miniature
 

I'm in the process of repainting my 95 Polo green convertible. Several years ago my friend gave me a few Maisto corvettes, one was a 96 collectors edition convertible. So, I decided I wanted a little version of my car. Attachment 48301828
I disassembled the model, didn't take too long

The hood had several bubbles on it, there were a few others on the body

It's a ZR1 from 1996!!!! :skep:

I dyed the interior parts of my full sized car to go with the new seat leathers. So I used that dye to color the interior of the miniature car to match.

I primed the body after sanding.

These are the colors in sunlight. It was fun and turned out pretty good.
Now, to finish the big car!! :rock:

That came out great. Now you have to do a side by side pic once toy finish the big one.

That really came out great!

:thumbs:

Very well done.

Very cool!

Sweet attention to detail...

I was lucky to find a Franklin Mint model of my 35th. I set it on the dash when I go to a show. But what you did is great. Wish I had your talent with paint.

That looks great! Nice work:thumbs:

Cool idea and fantastic paint - the striping came out perfect! Also glad to see I'm not the only one with a 'vette in the garage and jets in the workshop (and props, and ships, and tanks....)

Missed this thread, very nice work!

Looks awesome.

:cool:

I've got to make a new miniature license plate. Alabama changed our plates this year. I still have the old one on the model.

Excellent! :thumbs:

Yea. My dad was career Air Force, so , I grew up loving aircraft. The Thunderbirds were and are my fave demonstration team. I was lucky enough to have met or known several previous Thunderbird pilots and crew through my dad.

Cool!! I hadn't even thought of that. As soon as my car is back to road worthiness I'm going to get a personalized tag, maybe I'll make a small one for the little car!
