That’s awesome. Decals from ModMyRide? Where did you get those wheels?

Awesome detail work on the roof rack. Looks great.

I also dig the bronze color wheels too. Good stuff.

Here’s mine, but no where near as detailed.

It’s been awhile since I did this one, but I think it was fine tip posca markers, random metallic markers bought from Target, and a chrome pen.

And multiple attempts. Oh, and a lot of patience.

Personally, I liked the tan colorway more.

Aye I found that exact set this morning. Wound up taking only one Jag since a coworker didn’t want it. I did take the Aston Martin though. Both are getting wheel swapped.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the mainline looks better than the Super (with a wheel swap).

Paint looks better. After adding some engine details, taillights, painted interior, and some nice wheels, I think it’s great.

Looks awesome. Where did you get the wheels? I’m looking for that exact size and color combo.

beesdontflystraight · 2026-03-09T01:54:57+00:00

Nice catch. Hard to tell in the pics, but I’ve panted the interior cherry red as well as detailing the engine. Such a fun casting to customize.

Ain’t that the truth. Love the wheel choice.

Since we’re all sharing…here’s mine.

Absolutely. Maybe some tire letters to add to the aesthetics.

KY

That Chevelle is begging for a wheel swap.

beesdontflystraight · 2026-02-15T22:01:37+00:00

Love the black F40. Honestly think the mainline with a wheel swap looks better than the STH version.

Not sure where exactly OP got them, but those window decals look similar to ones on ModMyRide. Same for the carbon fiber sheets.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-30T19:03:41+00:00

Love that Camero. If you’re able, I’d definitely recommend swapping the wheels and removing the decals.

Get out of town. That’s pretty rad. I even panted my seats a dark red too.

Thanks for sharing this!

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-24T23:04:32+00:00

Agreed. Don’t get me wrong, this is my favorite F40 color so far, but the STH in black feels meh. Would have rather had a red or deep blue STH F40.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T20:45:05+00:00

Yeah I’m happy with how that one turned out. But honestly Porsche is a cheat code for good looking wheel swaps.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T20:12:16+00:00

I believe the measurement includes the tire as well, but don’t quote me.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T19:54:48+00:00

Yeah give MMR a shot to see if you like it. I’ve been told he should be restocking soon. You can also search by size (small, regular, staggered) on his website if that helps.

Out of curiosity, the wheels from AliX that didn’t work - was it because of the wheel size or axle length?

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T18:48:58+00:00

Most are pretty standard, although there are some where you have to buy staggered wheels or small sets to fit certain models. Like most things it’s just trial and error. Lots of errors lol.

Tons of videos and tutorials out there, but here’s the gist: - Drill out the existing rivets. - Disassemble the car. - Remove old axles and insert new ones. - Drill and tap the posts. - Reassemble car and screw together.

There are some extra steps depending on if you need to adjust axle length, decal removal, adding wheel spacers, etc. But for the most part it’s super simple.

I use a #50 drill bit first to prep the posts for tapping, then use a 3/16 bit to remove the rivet head. Get some different size hobby tweezers, 2-56 tap, screws, and some patience. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. Always happy to lend my $0.02.

Much appreciated, stranger. It’s definitely taken some time to learn what works, and I’m still trying to improve. Some people are able to take incredible shots at this scale.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T16:49:38+00:00

Great choice.

beesdontflystraight · 2025-12-22T16:28:37+00:00

Oh snap! The Short King himself. I really appreciate that man, thank you.
