Spent a bit of time deciding how and what to make these items from. The licence plate and frame was quite easy. I found a website with a jpeg of a Californian style plate, I edited it and inserted the chosen licence number. This was scaled down and printed then I searched for a Jpeg of the frame I wanted to use and resized it and printed onto glossy photographic paper and cut out to apply to my model.
For the T bars I tried cutting plastic and but couldn't get the right shape so I decided to use Milliput and modelled from this. The same material was used for the stinger. Once the product went hard it then could be primed and painted. Hope you like what you see.

Empi frame and Californian plate. T bars painted in Tamiya silver. Milliput Stinger hardened overnight. Stinger primed and painted. Finished and detailed with Checker theme. My Inspiration
