Building a model car can be challenging or very easy, depending on your knowledge and experience. How well you have mastered your craft is a large factor in finding success. Sometimes what makes designing a mini replica car challenging is lacking some of the necessary tools you need to complete the project. Determination is a crucial aspect of this hobby.
You may benefit from the tips and tricks below designed to help you achieve your project easier and faster.
If you want to save on material costs, hold on to any leftover sprues. You can heat and stretch them to create core antennas. You can also use a spray nozzle to make seat belt harness balls, in the event that you do not have styrene rods. Creating replica cars requires you to glue many small bits and pieces. You can use stretch sprues for glue application in the nooks and crannies of the mold.
Use steel wires to make battery posts. Steel wires are also great for making brake lines. Please note that they are tough, so you should avoid using plastic cutters when cutting them. If you do not have wrapping wires for adding hoses to the engine, you could use the wires inside telephone cords. They are just as flexible.
