I attempted my hand at 'making a custom' and it turned out pretty good. It was a Icar for Mason but I will say I won't do it again. Smile

 

If the ball stops there then I will definetly not have anything for you, sorry. If you can email me any others you may be looking, if you have any, I would appreciate it. You never know what will turn up.

 

Thanks Mike,

Steve

That custom looks great Steve!
How did you do the eyes?
Did you just make your own decal graphics then print on fecal paper and apply?
I want to make some customs, so any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks. The fecal paper was the most difficult part. …It's fificcult to handle Laugh

 

Seriously though it was a lot more difficult to do and the paint was the hardest. Truth be told after trying to paint it 4 times and it not coming out right I turned it over to my buddy who works at a body shop and he painted it 'Nissan White'. Cool

 

The decals I got from another member who was a BIG!! help. and I printed them on decal paper. I had to test print a number of times to try and get as close to the 1:55 size as I could. I bought decal set which you will need to set the decals to the car. Everything is a decal btw. The eyes included. The clear coat is something I wish I had done because we have lost a little rivet already. It can be fixed though. Also when seperating the body and trying to re-attatch it the wheels came off center, I guess, because it does not role as smoothly now.

 

Anyway it was a long process, rewarding, but long.

It's really great, fecal matter aside.  How did you reassemble it, with rivets, screws, or JB Weld?
