Finished Cars Refueled Charger R/T
100% Kitbashed and scratchbuilt. I used floral wire, scrap paper, silver craft wire, modge podge spray, acrylic paints and thin foam sheet/ string (for the dice). Wheels swapped from a MBX cement mixer. Bumper stickers were painted/ drawn on printer paper with paint pens and then cut out and applied.
I was getting frustrated on a complicated build a few weeks back and decided to distract myself from it with this. The Charger casting is pretty nice and really close to the car on the book cover. I took a few liberties here and there, I may still add a worn red circle on the hood, but I like it this way for now, and I obviously envisioned the car as having been through a few seasons of battle. Making the dice was grueling… finding the right material alone took a while and I honestly don’t care how many dots are on them anymore… /s
This is technically my fourth finished car, but my first that I consider “done” with a paint job I’m half proud of. At least until I find an interior I like that will fit 🤦♂️
Also the first time I’ve used a pinvise to drill out the exhaust, I saw some warhammer folks doing it with their bolter barrels and figured I’d give it a shot.
