Almost finished the Totopet so decided to take some quick shots for now. Later I will post better pictures when it is completely finished.
After the chips were done, brown oil paint was smeared on the doors, roof, bonnet, boot and sides. This was then worked back and forth using a moist brush. Once dry I proceeded to apply some rust streaks in various places. The two orange lights at the front were painted orange (duh) and then coated in gloss varnish. The rear brake lights and head lights are small glittery crystal things. You find them at craft stores in bags or on self-adhesive sheets. The number plate was replaced with a thin piece of plastic as the kit part was far too thick. A decal was the put on. The decals had to be trimmed as they had Asian writing on them. I lost one of wing-mirrors so had to use the police siren that comes with the model (The car is intended to be a police car). I'll just tell people that its an elaborate horn :). A bit of wire was used to add a bit of interest. The tyres still need finished but I need to wait so I can blend them with the diorama and other vehicles.
