Dang!! Those look awesome! Do you sell any of them? They are nicely well done.

At this time, I don't sell them... I might do one as a commission if someone really, really wanted one but as of now they just take too long to make for me to sell them :/ Thank you though

That's understandable. Just out of curiosity, how much would you charge if you were to do one for commission? But yeah, your work is awesome! I'll definitely have to learn and get the supplies to do these one day!

Honestly, I would probably need to charge around $25 for a single car to make anywhere close to a decent hourly rate, once I account for the time and supplies investment, which is a lot for one Hot Wheels car But it takes me about five hours from start to finish to make one, and I have to buy paint, cars, decal paper, and sealant Thank you so much though

How do you make these custom re-skins. i.g. what tools do you use to make them?

Oh ok, that'd be reasonable considering all the work you'd have to do. Well that work sure pays off if you get awesome pieces like those! I'll have to get somebody to make me one someday, an Itasha Hot Wheels car would be sweet to have.

Thanks but they're not Forza, they're actual Hot Wheels toy cars with custom decals I designed myself

I might be coming to you for some ideas in the future. I have a plan to make an Itasha based off the 2011 Racing Miku race car.

I already have a Hot Wheels BMW Z4 GT3 race car set aside for that very purpose And that's fine, I'll be happy to share what I know as far as making them is concerned; I was thinking of making a tutorial about the process anyway

Thanks for the fave

I was actually talking about making a real one. I was just thinking that having a miniature model to look at would be so much better than a few digital pictures of a model or something. I saw you had a hatchback (looks something along the lines of a Ford Focus) and I have an actual Ford Fiesta Hatchback I want to put a wrap on. So I thought if I coud see a small scale model of what It could look like that would be sweet.

Anths95 In reply to XSirSlaughterX [2013-04-18 17:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh, wow, okay Yeah, there are two hatchbacks, one's a Citroen C4 WRC edition, and the other's a Subaru Impreza STI. I don't have a Fiesta to work with; Hot Wheels made some Focuses but I don't know if I have any extras to customize; they also made Ken Block's Fiesta but I know I don't have any extras of those, and besides the bodykit makes it look barely like a Fiesta anyway.

Anyway, yeah, if you want to work out a design or something, I'd be happy to have you commission me or something along those lines; I'm sure we could work something out What character were you thinking of, anyway?

I want the 2011 Racing miku design on a hatchback of some kind. First I have to see if my other contacts were able to come up with anything because I got an actual 3D modeler working and an Itasha Specialized place in Japan hopefully in the process of getting started on a quote and rough estimate of cost. So If neither can come up with something you can bet I'll be back to you to see what we can do.

Can't see the image, but I know the character (she's on the Impreza ). Okay, well then they're going to be able to give you more specialized help than I probably can, but if you decide you want me to try to at least make a little model of one for you I'd be more than happy to.

Additionally, I just found out that there is a toy company that makes a 1/64 scale Fiesta just like yours (I saw the pics on your page), and I can get it easily through eBay for a relatively competitive price, so if you really want accuracy there's always that

Anths95 In reply to XiReiMei [2013-04-16 19:27:23 +0000 UTC]

lol, yes, that would be cool Especially if they looked like these; most of the time, real itashas look very cluttered and messy-looking (they have text and sponsors and clashing colors everywhere).

Plus instead of characters like this, a lot of itashas have eroge game characters on them

Anyway thanks for the faves
