wow superfly
 

superfly i have seen alot of your work and lets just say ur a pure pimp. nice work once again and again and so on for da future. One question how long you been at these little cars oh and how you get so good???

P.S. yes that was 2 questions, what you going to do bout it??:rolleyes:

Thanks for the compliment martdaman. I got my first Microsizer from my wife for Christmas 2002, and I did my first modding (just painting, initially) in February of 2003. I had been doing 1:48 plastic model airplanes prior to little cars, so I had an airbrush and a bunch of paint and tools.

For me the secret to doing a good job is planning what you want the end result to be, and taking your time getting it done. I can easily spend a month of evenings and weekends on a single car, so I try to have 3 or so going at once so I don't feel compelled to keep working a car while the paint is wet:p

Also, look at scale model building web sites and forums for tips on painting and finishing.
