RE: 1:18 mod thread you could add a wiper system for a returns version, also some scoring to the afterburner from the heat produced. Check out the Gordon Onstar ad for an alternate Turntable diarama. Orrrrrr, if you have the balls and the modding skill you could try a breakaway missle version. Any chance of a 1:18 or 1:22.5 or whatever the size is Dave, missle returns car in Mattel's future. 
Hell, maybe if we could pin down the right money guy, a true 1:18 Returns 2 pack. 
how much to modd mine, not my signed version sadly.

RE: 1:18 mod thread Okay, remember, everyone is always saying "more pictures, more pictures". Well, I like to take pics. Too bad it's only a model huh? Anyway Here's night 3 of this project: GUNS ----------------------------- This looks really cool and isn;t that tough. Take a very small drill bit in a pin vise and drill out the ends of the gun barrels. I drilled in a bit and then used an xacto knife to center the hole and make it a bit bigger. I then tried to remove the parting lines . 
The guns were interesting to do. I wanted to leave the "chrome" visaable in spots to get a metallic reflection. Anyway first I painted the guns with black enamel to get a dark base. (I thinned it a bit). I was careful on the barrel to only paint the outside and not get any paint in the holes, so they would still be silver. Here's what that looked like: 
Here's the finished gun. I see in the pics that I missed a @#$% parting line. I suppose I'll go back and redo it, but I don;t have the energy tonight. 
Here's a couple more: 
On the gun doors I added the four screw heads by lightly touching a fine wire in paint and then very carefully touching it on the car. Small detail, but it adds a lot.

RE: 1:18 mod thread On to the back. I sanded and cleaned up the exhaust casting. 
I came up with a method of applying a black/gray acylic paint mixture to the chrome parts in back that makes them darker and a little splotchy and yet still retians the shine. I really like how the pipes came out.

RE: 1:18 mod thread TIRES AND RIMS Here's the original: 
I used the same darkening acylic technique to get the rims toned down and then used chalks to further gritty up the rim and bring ou tthe tire detail: 
This shows the grill detail (silver). I think it paid off (it was slow going).

RE: 1:18 mod thread I love it ! Mine is still apart since my last email. But Im going to get the wires and leds in place. Once I find the battery setup for it I will just stick under the rear cover. I think im gonna put the on/off switch for it there also.Right now I have that Batmobile (the HW 1:18) and the animated series car torn apart. The animated series version will be flat black with leds and front wheels that turn left and right.Im gona use some rc car parts and a few diecast cars I had layin around for that. Im also making it so the jet that comes out the back stays put...but trying to find out how to use bondo... my guess is it cant be that hard for somthing like this... but Im takin my time on it. I just really wanna fill up the gaps. HPI makes some cool wheels that I might throw on. I really like how you got the extra detail on the car without makin it look stupid. I love the head rests and all the other little details. It looks great .

RE: 1:18 mod thread Wow just wow. What are the other plans for it? Are you going to tint the windows? Where are you putting the LED's? Will you be doing a second model? Is this the last question I have for you? Seriously man, it looks amazing. You should do a "show" model next. All glossy new car smell and such. |

RE: 1:18 mod thread Wow, Matt!...that is fantastic work!! Don't ya hate it when toy companies can't get it right?  ...I have a similar hobby (but nowhere near as detailed as yours)...I have a giant collection of Batman the Animated Series/Justice League figures...I rework the ones the toy companies screw up, and make the ones they don't make at all!
For anyone interested, here's a link to them. -Matt K. http://www.figurerealm.com/ViewCustoms.php?NS=0&UID=633 |
