A Hot Wheels LOCOMOTIVE???

Hi all, Since my last post here a long time ago, I've been doing a lot of things, but few new projects. Now I decided to take some time for myself and to have fun. I made this locomotive using a hot wheels case and some simple parts we found at home. It's just a simple stuff, but it could be interesting to someone, then i decided to present it

This is the beginning and it's the final result

Choosing parts to use is the funniest thing in this work

I almost let it works in transparent mode, but it would be a lot of work to do inner

creating the parts within the model's scale is always a challenge.

I like using washers to make the wheels. This simplifies the task

I hope you enjoyed the FRIMESA F600. Frimesa is a sausage brand and I used a packing seal to make some parts of the hardware, so to keep it fun, the front grill is part of the seal with the name Frimesa

Inventive build - and a good bit of recycling of a piece of plastic that would normally be thrown away.

at first, I did not understand the topic! lol
since Hot Wheels has produced a number of different "locomotive" hot rods.
They've even produced their own Train Sets.

This isn't any Hot Wheels I recognize.

LOL eventually I had my morning coffee and realized you had used the vacu-form blister pak as the body of a locomotive.

Very imaginative!


What glues did you use? and what paints did you use? how did you get the paint to stick?
