Way cool Honda, Jim! I never thought I'd say that about that brand of car.

Excellent. Makes me think: The Fifth Element

That is ridiculously cool

Nicely done, now I want one!

Great work again

My experience is to not paint flying stands/rods straight black, but rather a midtone grey, preferably with a slight gradient as well, dark at the bottom, lighter at the top. This makes them blend in way better...

That's an interesting idea, I'll give it a go

Looks pretty cool. It's a Tomy diecast?

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #98 on:** April 19, 2019, 04:33:36 PM »

Tomica yes. I’ve got quite a few more but all the cars are box scale (same box different scales

)

Played around getting another one done. This time it’s a van and with it being a kids toy there was actually a sticker of produce to go in the top (second picture).

I’ve put a tarp on using tissue painted over with watered down wood glue. The straps are thick paper and the hasps are styrene strip.
