I don't know enuf about smashemups, but it looks authentic. Only clear shortcoming is the transmission half seam line. Is the line from the rear wheels the brake line? I've seen a few "accident cars" with "foil" fenders with realistic sharp creases so even there, the hobby is getting more realistic. Thanx for a good job on a real tankmobile.

Looks like you did a lot of detailing and weathering on the first one. How do you go about putting all of the dents in it? And on the wagaon, how do you bend the entire body?

well it takes a lot of practice. but if you get a bic lighter with the more pointy tip you heat it just to were it starts to look bendable, then use the tip of the lighter and make dents. with the whole body i use a mini torch lighter and heat the three main sections up the bend to your liking. i have been doing these for 2 years now and i now officially sell them.

Nice job on the beaters! I just haven't been brave enough to kill a kit yet.

A demo car with a Hemi......I've seen it all now! Tht must be Bondo Jones!! Lol. Nice job, it looks very realistic. I would think it's probably more work getting those dents right that doing a slick paint job.
I had to chuckle a little at the fire extingusher taped to the roll bar.....A buddy of mine use to tape his fire extingusher to the roll cage on his race car....the track officials caught it one night, told him he couldn't race like that....it had to be accessable. He told them the rule book just said he had to have it, it said nothing at all about being accessable!
