Seeing the excellent Spinner model here recently prompted me to show off my not-so excellent vehicles.
Bought them both from the same bloke a few years back on eBay and they were made from that awful resin that's more like car filler mixed with pulp.
Of the two Deckards Sedan is the best, being a nice large 1/35th scale, pretty darn accurate and had the bonus of no decals to deal with.
The Spinner has nice detail but is much smaller - 1/72nd - and had to deal with the pretty comprehensive decals being on a post-it note.
Yes, really
Another obstacle were the windows being solid resin. I could've tried gouging them out but that'd mean building an interior from scratch - and i ain't up to that.
Went instead with washes of thinned down Tamiya Smoke over the white primer to try and convey depth where there wasn't any.
Didn't really work though
