Heres a couple resin mini coopers I got on<a href=http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1606754-2202639 target=_top > eBay! </a>
<img src=http://www.awltovhc.com/image-1606754-2202639 width=1 height=1 border=0> and painted up. I painted but I let my girlfriend design them, anything to get her a little more into slots. She has no artistic talent and no real interest in cars at all, but when I old her I would paint these however she wanted she had some very specific ideas. Hers is the red one with the exhaust tips, they are from a Bauer 308 that I stepped on and crushed. She loves it and races it and kills me and thinks its funny, cool! LIGHT COATS, good tip, I always before tried to do it one coat. I found the stripes at a hooby shop, they are old auto world decals. THANKS GUYS :wave: I don't get online much but this slot forum is great, I dont get the photo thing it kept saying file too large, so they may not look that great, Jimmy

Hey Jimmy here, I got them from "specialafx", I asked a while back if he was going to make more minis but all he said was to look for new stuff, I am going to ask him again if he can make some, they came white resin and are pretty lightweight, I thought they would be top heavy but they are not.
...THANKS for the compliments, I thought at first they needed more decals but the girlfriend said no, I wish I had more of those exhaust tips, they looked good on a few cars before I glued them on this car, Jimmy
