Team-BHP - The Scale Model Thread

You can get it for 300$. I think I can haggle it to 275$. So how are all these 23k and 40k even coming up. There are sellers trying to sell it for $400 tops. But 40,000Rs ? Noway!

You should also have some decent equipment like an airbrush and some good paint to get the proper effect. Been there and done that and in the process ruined a already screwed up HW Corvette.

Not at all..take some FABRIC paint and paint over it. It will give you a good finish. You need to have a good steady hand though.
I have one the above in all my cars.

Nice car, just that the owner may need to ease up on his chatter a little, seems to have a really nice garage, wish him the best.

GTA, I have used fabric paint when I started modding a few years ago. It retains its slightly sticky nature (thanks to our humidity) and is an excellent dust magnet.

@someshb - nice bulls you got there, which brand are they. Love the Gallardo. Like the color of the Murci a lot, not a fan of the wheels, the custom rims on some tend to overdo it.

I have the Gallardo in 1:18 from Maisto, but not the Spyder version. Trying to get the whole lineup :)

They are Maisto
Picked it from Model Art @ Forum Mall, Bangalore.

I use normal brushes and normal fabric paint for the mods. The stripes have been vinyled on. Used them from another logo thingy. Please go ahead and mod your rides fellas.

Here Is my Caddilac Escalade.

GTA, have you painted the lights from the insides or just over them?

From inside. The whole assembly was taken apart and painted and then put back together using the miracle of superglue.:)
