I'm the kind of person that if I don't think I can do it without messing it up, I won't do it. There's your answer.

I like it just the way it is. Was supposed to be a simple wheel swap with a few minor changes.
 
Haha take it easy, guy. We're just jabbin'.

Would've been awesome if you got hold of them Enkei wheels for a replica. That would've been super cool.
 
I like these new Matchbox wheels. Finally someone came along and made a decent plastic wheel.
 
These are pretty much finished

With series 3 out of the way, I'm going start introducing series 4 one at a time, starting with the Fast Fish.

I got carried away with the brush and ended up doing all of the black by hand! :lol:
 
Oh yeah I remember that. Reminds me of this car I saw at an Autozone:

Unlike the car I posted above, I love that EF. :drool:
 
Here are the pics of the cars. They're still crappy. :lol: My apologies.

They're pretty much finished, except for a little detail yet, and a good polish. :)

Then they're not finished, and believe me, they need the detailing. They look reallly unfinished without detailing.

Yeah. I know. I'll have to find my model paint and do the rest later on.
 
Does anybody know where I can get my hands on some 1/64 Pagani Zondas? I've seen some on the internet before but can't seem to find them in stores, eBay, Amazon, etc. They'd make great for customizing.

That's #2 of Series 4. Pretty plain, but I wasn't sure where additional colour should've been added. Didn't add gold to the wheels to maintain race car appeal.

How can one dry Milliput fast?

It needs to cure properly, give it at-least 24 hours.

'Motormax' make the Pagani Zonda in 1/64 scale, try that in your search (they're hard to come by though).

[EDIT]

Regarding Milliput.. you can work with it before it's fully cured, but you risk the bond between the putty and zamac/metal.

Opinions please. Trying to match up the WRC Mini's wheels, and I've narrowed it down to two.

MBX 10spoke

HW Size-2 10SP

The former gives an impression of having 20 spokes, but the wheels look a tad small for the wheel well unlike the latter.
