Possible Ptoject for Model Car Builders

Anyone out there do custom model car work?

Would like to have someone take a 1/18 Maisto Mini Cooper model apart.....and remake it into the Mini that I own

Just don't have the expertise to strip the metal body

Pics of both? I am no model builder but this sounds like an interesting thing for someone else to do.

Gary-if no one here is interested, contact the guys at Auto-Zone(not the parts chain) at 13 Mi and Woodward.

If I remember correctly, they have contacts in the scale model community that may be able to help.

This is right up with what I do. My website hasn't been worked on in quite awhile but I think I have a few models on my AirBoston Graphics facebook page. The last diecast was posted somewhere on pelican.

Looked though the left over paint cabinet at work and found some MINI BRG and some Chili Red from my car. Looks like I'm on the search for a MINI model so I can do replica of my car too.
