I got to go home for the weekend this past weekend, and while I was home I grabbed a bunch of pictures of my customs. I will post a different car or group every so often and I thought it would be fitting to start with pictures of the first custom I ever did.

I hand painted the entire car with a tooth pick. I don't know how it came out so even, but it looks like it was spray painted. I'm glad it turned out decent because it got me hooked. However I quickly learned that spray paint was a much better method for paint application.

Awesome first custom, and even put back in the blister (I haven't tried that yet). Stripes are always cool on a Cobra, and I love the detailed interior.
Great job!

Well, you're a wizard with a toothpick! What paint were you using, if I may ask?

For my detail painting I use testors (this car was completely done with testors), but for spray paint like I've used on all my other cars I use House of Kolor, Krylon, or Testors depending on the color/price.
