[@Sketches_by_abhi]

I have a drill machine but I can't buy the supra (hotwheels) it is way too expensive here 🥲

[@themodelcarproject]

I would advice you to either lend a drill from someone you know (e.g. Family members, friends or school/college/uni -labs), buy one (not sooo expensive) or you can use a mini handdriller, takes some time, but with a drill bit + the handdriller itself you are under 10 bucks. Hope that helps✌️

Hey, Can i ask you quick what glue do you use (Brand)? Glue in my country(poland)it is so bad to be honest. It just leaves white residue everywhere and its very weak

[@themodelcarproject]

It probably has a lot of acetone inside it. I use the "Pattex" super glue. But honestly, the ultimate pro tip is to use a cyano acrylate activator. I have this one (bought it on amazon): "Deluxe AKTIVATOR ROKET Blaster 50ML". It instantly makes the glue hard and prevents (for the most part) white residue. Keep in mind though that its a bit of an hazard, I recommend using a respirator if you use an activator. Hope that helps.

Hey I was just wanting to start because I have a ton of unused hot wheels and was woundering if you could send some links to good rounded wheels

[@themodelcarproject]

Dont have any links because they expire... I bought some of my wheels on ebay. Try different key words like: 1 64, rims, tires, diecast, …There you should find some that are rounded

[@speedster8138]

Do you use specific brush type for adding details? How's it called?

[@themodelcarproject]

Nothing special, in theory every brush which is small enough will work. I like to use regular shaped, Synthetic brushes, smallest size (like 00 or 10/0 or 20/0). Currently I use the ones made by tamiya, but they are a bit pricey. Before that I had good experiences with the company "DaVinci" in particular their model-line, size 20/0 and 10/0

[@orange-g9l]

you are the best the best bro i love you❤❤❤ your vids are best🥳🥰😇😍😁

[@CenReaper.]

You should make lights like Jakarta Diecast Project

[@AbiyyuBhawaganta]

Hey can I ask?, what brand of brush did you use for detailing?

[@themodelcarproject]

Recently bought the Tamiya "Pro II" Ones. Quite satisfied, but not really cheap. I also use the "Da Vinci Micro-Nova" 20/0 and 15/0 sizes. If they are not available in your country, just go for the smallest brush you can find and one thats a bit bigger. In total 3 brushes will get you everywhere you want for detailing.

[@AbiyyuBhawaganta]

Well thank you for your answer

[@anhminhbui]

Can I use some water slide decals for the headlights upgrade?

[@themodelcarproject]

Sure, if you can print them yourself or buy some on ebay

[@themodelcarproject]

Thank you for the support!🤙

[@DarkMilk2031]

What size brush is that and could I get a link to buy it?

[@themodelcarproject]

Dont have links becasue they expire: I usually use the two smallest brush sizes I can find, 0/20 and 0/10. Synthetic brushes work well in general, that's what I've been using for years. Right now, I use Tamiya 87172 Ultra Fine and 87173 Extra Fine with Kolinsky Sable Hair, but they are quite expensive. Tamiya 87216 and 87217 are synthetic equivalents. Before switching to Tamiya, I used "da Vinci MICRO-NOVA" synthetics and would recommend them too.

[@kieranlai8541]

Won’t it not roll properly if u don’t drill a space for the exhaust system?

[@themodelcarproject]

Depends on the car model and how much you are going to lower your car. In this case it was necessary as far as I remember.

[@LUXURY0_0MINDSET]

Can u tell trick to open hot wheels without a drill plz😢

[@themodelcarproject]

Noted.

[@nate.hall_11]

You can use a soldering iron and hold it on the rivets to slightly melt the plastic base (this doesn’t work with metal base cars). Just pull the body away and then boom you did it without a drill. Other than that there aren’t really other ways of opening.

[@LUXURY0_0MINDSET]

Which brush have you used?

[@themodelcarproject]

I like to use the smallest brushes I can find. Synthetics worked pretty well for me and the kolonsky sable hair (tamiya brush pro 2, tough quite more expensive). Size wise: 20/0 and 10/0 works best for me. But the actual size differs from brand to brand.

[@abhinavthomas1541]

Broo where did u buy decals? 🙂

[@themodelcarproject]

Ive got them from ebay, try to search for waterslide decals. Usually I like to use scale from 1:43, 1:64 and 1:87 for hot wheels customization.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

Why is it called retarder when retarding something usually means to slow it down, increase resistance and postpone.

[@themodelcarproject]

In this case you are slowing down the drying process of the acrylic paint, and thinning it at the same time

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

@@themodelcarproject ahhh I see, thank you.

[@MikeOksymchuk]

0:38 what if i use X2 paint instead? Would it make any difference exept the glossines?

If you are going to apply a gloss top coat like me, then I dont think that it will make any difference. Just give it a try.

[@MikeOksymchuk]

@@themodelcarproject I’m gonna re-paint car fully, and then paint details with it. I will then spray it with clear coat can few times. I’m just asking, does type of Tamiya paint is matter

[@themodelcarproject]

@@MikeOksymchuk No I don't think so. Especially if you are staying inside a Line-Up of a brand. If any concerns, make a test on a junk test car: Put some acrylic paint on it, then after drying, spray clear to check if there any reactions occur.

[@themodelcarproject]

@@MikeOksymchuk One thing to notice though: I highly recommend to NOT layer Laquers over acrylics. Always Laquer paints first, then acrylic. Hope this answers your question (maybe a bit too detailed)
