Well, I've done some wheels swaps and various other small customizing things here and there but I finally broke out the dremel and did my first real custom or what I would consider a real custom.. grinding, painting, cutting.. etc. I had fun doing it but I don't have the patience or free time to do as many as I'd like to do.

Anyways, I took the roof off of the JL Falcon Delivery and slapped it on a JL 65 Nova. I wish diecast companies would make more wagons but I guess since they haven't I'd give it a try.

It was my first time ever using the metal foil stuff also. I don't think I'd do that again on a diecast car. I did a practice run on some spare parts that I had and it turned out great. Not so much when it came to the real deal. haha. The tips on here were very helpful though!

I have to mirror the others, that turned out REALLY well. You've got more detail than either mother-piece, and got all the pieces to line up. It looks like you passed your first patience test with flying colors!

Good choice on a "NOVA PANEL WAGON" you made that blend smoothly!! keep going !!!!

 

[ernneal]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. My dad has been a drag racer since I was a wee lad and he builds his own 1:1 cars so I guess some of it rubbed off on me. These are just more affordable. haha.

BRIDE..?? hahaa.. I think I need a drink!

Yea, I'm not sure what I'll follow this one up with. It may take me awhile to get another idea. hah
