Description
This is a sweet 1970 Camaro for your Hot Wheels collection. It's an even simpler process to finish this car than my other Hot Wheels models are. My other vehicles have a chassis' that are printed separately and then glued onto the bodies. This one has no separate chassis, so the wheels and axles are put directly into the body of the car (After the paint job).
The axles are made out of a straightened paperclip, and superglued into the wheels. When glueing the second wheel on, I advise holding the wheels in between the thumb and index finger. That allows the body of the car to swing, ensuring that the superglue doesn't bond your wheels directly to the body. If that happens, the car is still useful for a display model or for Gaslands, just not as a drivable Hot Wheels.
I used regular acrylic paint, the black details (windows and stripes) were done with a BIC black marker (BIC is the only brand I've found that gives a solid black color in one coat), and the silver details were done with a silver Sharpie. Once those were done, I hit it with a coat of high gloss clear coat.
Happy printing y'all! Please post any makes and remixes! I really appreciate it!
