folks, for those that don't know, i do resprays and mods on little model cars, mostly sold on ebay but also the odd lucrative 'mak it luk like my car mistr' job! anyway, usually its muskel or toonerz stuff, but, bouyed with recent enthusiasm, i've done a wee string of retro stuff (with another batch to come and then its all over for now!) just wanted to post an ebay link, see if theres some interest. like i say, do quite a lot of them, and can make you lot little versions of your big motors! and no, i don't charge £10+post+cost of base car like other ebayers doing the smae thing cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&item=200039098200&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1(other items) like...

done a few polos, easy done, a couple of quid covers paint usually, and if your lucky some wheels! have done a few 60s things, not much lately, did do a merc 320 hearse that went for some obscene double figure amount, but older estates are hard to get for the base model, otherwise id do loads

depends what your looking mate, that 'rapid' cabrio took me approx 4months and still doesnt look right! lol!
but if car is supplied, £1 for paint, another £1 if specific wheels required, and postage back. cutting roofs off and adapting chassis plates negotiable. all spoecial rates for my RR buds

Do you use aerosol or airbrush?
I tend to use airbrush for my scratch built models, but mine tend to fetch iro 50 pounds plus..
I mainly do rally cars for customers, so there one offs for sure.

trade secrets what you don't see behind the scenes is the amount of shells without wheels i have lying around. plus a good use of mixing and matching and buying of crappy models to cut up. glad you like my prices mate. if anyone is looking any of the above it'll be at RR'er cost price. its extra stuff due for the bay that hasn't been on yet!
