Road Warrior Car Crafting
Some Basics part 1 Rivits and finding basic tools
Hot Wheels Hypertruck Plastic body.
Removing revets with a dremel tool is about a 2 to 3 min. operation even
when you get the metal plate and rivet even you may have to pry it lose
At
this point I do all the body modifications in this case removing a roof panel in
both the car body and clear window piece and drilling the holes for the MG
positions
Basic painting for the car was spray the interior flat black and
body gloss red both top and bottom.
Metal or plastic you can spray paint
over the origanal paint job, When finished you should Spray with Matt or Gloss
fixative.
Here are some of the basic tools which will save you lots of time and make a
more detailed model.
Brass rods for weapons mounts, roll bars and
railings. 3 of the most usefull Dremel bits, and a set of metal drill bits I get
these from Harbor Freight.
This car has a driver, passenger and 2 Machine gunners. First photo is before
weathering. Photo 2 is the finished vehicle.
