Custom 1:18 Army Staff Car

That's badass. I'd love to build a model car again... Haven't built one from scratch since I was a young teen. I bought a kit a few years back to build a miniature of my custom Civic from high school, but then lost it and never got back around to replacing it.
Eventually, I'll probably make one.
So was that just one of those 1:18 diecast cars that you're repainting? It looks slick from the factory. Does that Brando figure come with the one you have?

That poor, poor Fleetwood.
Piss on it, should have been more popular, so as not to end up for $12 at TJ. It's fodder now!
Looking good so far. I would have kept the car how it was and used it as a car for Destro prolly 
Can't wait to see it when it's done.

If you are airbrushing, alclad chrome would do the trick, or bare metal foil. It's looking good though!
I got the decals on. These decals were just the left overs from my Dragon Wagon. I was trying to stretch them out to make this car, the truck and a Greyhound. Like an idiot, I spilled the water on the sheet and ruined the ones I had for the staff car. I had to rob the stars from a model plane kit. I have also lost my needle nosed tweezers and I had a rough time getting these decals done. What a headache!
I was gonna just copy the flags on my 21st command car, but I can't get the darn things off.
Itty bitty smashing? You're talking to a Marine here. Smashing is all I know.
Might be why all my weapons were designed 100 years ago or well over 60 years old. They can put up with some smashing.

That turned out awesome! Even the figures look great with it, and I normally don't like those guys! The first pic is fantastic. Great job on the lighting man. (Not to mention the paint, etc.)
