Default My car in minature.... (still work in progress)

Thought some of you might like this.

Ive been working on it over the last week whislt ive had a spare min or 2. This is as far as i can go with paint. I need someone clever to make me my graphics kit in minature too.
You may notice the front mounted intercooler and oil cooler too. Im yet to make the exhaust and mudflaps.
Enjoy.

No mate it was just a bugeye WRC that a friend of mine saved from the work skip. I stripped it, lowered it and painted it. Then started making the little details for it.

Its just a small kids toy that no longer works

Looks cool though

I am sure a sticker company you knock you up some stickers that small. They would not have to be die cut, just printed onto clear vinyl. Ideally you want those water stickers.

Try Simon at FusionMX ( Custom MX Backgrounds - Custom MX Graphics - Custom MX Decals - Shop Signage - Vehicle Graphics - Fusion MX Design Studio Hereford ) and tell him I sent you. He does my stickers and he is almost (99%) as good as StickyStuff.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but printing that onto clear just won't work, as the ink is transluckent all you will be left with is a ver, very dark coloured sticker. Imagine sticking black paper into your inkjet, the results would be similar. It'd have to be either all vinyl or printed onto white and contour cut. Very fidly for any digi-printer, as the ink softens the vinyl and makes cutting detailed stuff a proper pain.

Models looks the nuts so far though
