    wow they are amazing! For the base on the banged up Sierra you could use static grass and modelling flock to get a more convincing effect. That would look ace. Have the grass growing up through the floor and stuff.

    on the rear i just glued the wheels on lower,on the front i cut of the bit that holds the screw & glued it in a diff position witch lowers the car.

    the deep wheel was of a mustang but had i diff center cap,so took that of & put lower profile tyres on.

    They look great, you must have loads of patience
    I would have thought there was quite a market for selling these when finished, or commission based work, what sort of money do these go for??
