Hotwheels re-paint
« on: 10 November 2010, 12:09:57 PM »
As I needed something of a diversion from all my Boxers I grabbed a 99p Hotwheels Aston Martin V8 from the supermarket and re-did it in the colours of a GT2 racer I had seen on ebay in 1/43rd scale. Far from perfect but I was quite pleased with it for an evenings work. Homemade decals - not freehand I hasten to add.

I thought you just took it out of the packet and were about to ask us what to do with it.

What is this? This is not toy soldiers! How dare you?!

The decals are very impressive, by the way. Was it originally white?

Originally silver, I did another into gunmetal for a 007 collector who wanted it to match the latest film.
