scale tricks thread

My cheap trick: Add some paint!

Some examples...

Basic Traxxas accessories

Brass details, after painting

Assorted plastic details, normally not painted, got a metallic coating.

I've just added a couple of scale figures to the Bronco, which came with pointless accessories but woke up the next day with an idea. Thought I could fashion one of the goblets into a gas cap so I gave it a try.

I got to cutting the top off, then using a bit of fine screen mesh I formed some a slight dome top.

Used a mixture of CA and ciggie ash to get some sort of colour match

The drilled, countersunk and screwed to the Bronco.
