Thank you for sharing your detailed painting technique. I've been struggling painting with spectraflame paint. Showing how light you spray your tack coat and second coat was great. I sprayed some red on New Years and it turned out great.
@@WheelsNThangs For the 1-72 tap I use a 1/16” drill bit. I cut a piece so the bit fits almost completely inside the drill chuck. That way it doesn’t wobble and break.
found out that Mattel made bright vision stop selling these kits. I purchased three, assembled two and saved one in package. but mine was second hand meaning it did not have Brightvision packaging.
😂😂😂 Howdy and Happy day!! TBC… how cruel! Time for some zincification? My repro beach bomb is still sitting in a drawer bc it has serious casting issues for which I haven’t figured a solution I’m happy with yet. I would swear I have a clear memory of your last BB video being pink! Lol till you said root beer. Thanks, good cliffhanger, and chipper cheerios!
You'll have to wait and see! lol. This one looked even worse after I painted it! I could have sworn it was pink, maybe I just talked about it? Maybe we are both losing our minds. lol. Hope you are well and have a wonderful holiday! It's -9 here at the moment :(
@@WheelsNThangs From what I've heard, HW send cease and desist letters to anyone who made reproductions. Haven't noticed if Bright Vision still sell some. Just checked, they still have the item, but it's written as out of stock. So, I'm not sure anymore.
That’s not a Brightvision can tell just by looking at it! Shouldn’t be bad mouthing BV the ones he sold were raw metal so you had to plate it or use a metallic base coat

Wow, I love hearing this! That's what the channel is all about. It's tricky to paint but once you get the hang of it, it's amazing paint!
OMG!!! I'm so excited for part 2 !!! I'm sure that the result will be awesome with your talents.
Thank you so much!!
Polished they have to be plated or metallic base coated because they are raw if it’s an Alpha! Omegas are plated and made by Tony only!
1-72 bottoming tap and 1-72 screws worked perfectly for me. 🎉
Hmm.. I'll have to try those sizes. Thanks for the tip!
What bit are you using?

Looking forward to part 2
Me too. Just gotta finish it :)
So do the Brightvision I have built a ton of them.

Take care
Hehe. Merry Christmas Mr. Tim!

I thought HW cracked down on people making reproductions of that casting! Did you get it recently, or did you have it for a while?
I''ve had it for a few years. I take it they don't sell them anymore? lol

@@WheelsNThangs thank you very much! I am going to order one! 👍
Where can I buy there little kits? I would love to buy some for my son.
I believe I originally purchased mine on Amazon through Brightvision but I don't think they are still available.
Paint it pink

I wish I could find someone to customize my Hot Wheels Volkswagen van
Ooh ya I can do that
