Beginner Guide for White Metal Kit: GHQ Chevy Van in N Scale

[@normanrowe2831]

Hi Professor. Wowie zowie! That’s some fine work you did on that van. All it needs is an old faded bumper sticker that reads, “if this van is a rockin, don’t come knocking!” I was wondering, as you cut out those tiny plastic windows, if you thought about using that liquid product that some modelers use to create windows. Maybe a thin coat of that would produce the effect of glass. Maybe you could give it a test trial. The results of the teeny, weeny, van are stunning. I look forward to the other 2 in this series. See ya then.

Now that is a sticker that I HAVE to make for one of my vehicles! Haha. Yes, I did think of using the gel directly, but then I ran a little test and saw that it retains the brush marks on the surface - though very fine, it was there. I'll continue to experiment and discover new ways to make glass for vehicles - it adds a whole different dimension to a vehicle. Thanks for stopping by Norman! Cheers! Kaustav

You are for sure becoming my favourite youtuber. Another awesome video. Check out Martys Matchbox Makeovers for a little trick on Chrome effect. Fantastic result on such a small vehicle. Thanks for sharing. Luv, luv, luv

Thank you Morten! That's quite a compliment and happy that you're enjoying my little experiments. :) I did give a quick look at the channel, but didn't find anything yet - if you have a link, would you mind sending my way? Great channel though - thanks for sharing. Cheers! Kaustav

@@TrainsandDioramas he is using a silver felttip pen, the silver ink flows readily and covers extremly well. He can get the pens in Australia and I can get them in Denmark, so I suppose you can get them in India as well. Cheers

Ah! nice! We definitely get them here, so I'll give it a try in a future build. Thanks for sharing. :)

The metel is pliable enough to bend the mirrors out.
