putting some "headlights" n rear lamps on ..

Again nuthing better to do....so decided to to do some detailing work wif my Hotwheels collection...yeah, i do collect them... cant get the real thing, so getting the little version is 2nd best la...plus dont need big garages to fit them too...

why so fussy n even bother to do such tedious things on small2 thingy ?
well, looks complete la a bit...like real cars... ehhe.


evrybody can do it. get the suitable permanent markers from any stationaries shop. use creativity on the colour choice....like silver/chrome for head lights n red for rear light...etc etc... masking tape...i would recommend Tamiya's masking tape are they are the most flexible tapes plus would not stick the paints off unlike the usual masking tape. owh also a steady pair of hands.

mask the edges of the desired spot

before and after the mask tape keeps ur work tidy. :)If ure confident enuff...u can try freehand....

Use the masking for those edges...for the more realistic touchtadaa...
tips:- to make the rear red/amber lights more realestic, coat them with silver/white marker paint. this will give a more radiant hue of red

references from websites helps in not screwing up the detailing process.



heppy hunting~ :)
