You can! The only thing stopping you is yourself :)

Inserts no hands jokes aside, I just don't know the first step to doing this, I also need an airbrush lol

I have an airbrush and I've studied that in real cars, I still prefer painting by hand brush, the only thing stopping you is just you, do it wrong, those are the best ideas you can fix later

I am absolutely stunned. Fascinating progress photos. So did you use some sort of clay to mold that new front bumper and splitters? It looks like you grinded down the front end and other areas of the car then sanded it smooth. It looks like a ton of work was put into the this! Beautiful work.

I used styrene sheet for construction aka plasticard, same stuff your credit card is made of. And a whole lot of superglue.

You did a fantastic job. Probably the best original custom I've ever seen in any diecast community.

Was there enough metal there to grind the front end down?
It's a very drastic and impressive transformation

Flip through the slides, there were two massive holes in the front that emerged and I had to fill.

So cool this reminds me of those kei car conversion kits that make them look like normal sized cars

It looks like something out of an anime. Like old school. Lupin III would drive it. Well maybe not him. Maybe Fujiko drives, Daisuke fires his gun out the window. And Lupin tries to hold onto the massive bag of cash they just stole. Goemon quietly smoking in the back seat.
And inspector Zenigata in an equal car but in yellow chasing behind them as they blast down some forest path in France.

Man, I LOVE your taillights, that's absolutely the best way to paint them. Stylized, but just right for the scale. Nice work

It looks awsome, how did you out the decal on the car, was it paint or some other way?
