I should point out I'm new to working with model kits, so if I say stupid stuff please correct me haha. I'm looking for some pointers
So this is the car I'm going to build, it's Ol' Gypsy from the Wasteland Angel game.
After some clicking around, I figured a '67 Mustang GT500/GT350 body would work well as a base. Honestly, I don't know the subtle differences between the 350 and 500, so I got the 350 model because it was cheaper. I'm going to have to do some resculpting anyway so whatevs. Also, there aren't any other good reference pictures of Ol' Gypsy, so I can fudge details or make them up as necessary.
I got a 1/25 1967 Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback by AMT (

Now the questions!
-My main concern is all the sculpting needed to bulk up the model to give it that boxy aggressive look in the reference picture. I have Apoxie Sculpt, is that okay or are there any other clays/putties you would recommend for model kits?
-Any ideas on how to make the crash bars, pipes, etc? Could I maybe just melt together acrylic rods and sand/reshape them as needed?
-Is there a boxier meaner looking Mustang I should use as the base instead? haha
-Are there any good places to get cheap model kits? I paid like 18 bucks for this GT350 model, and that kinda stings considering I'm just going to ding it up on purpose to give it that post-apocalyptic look.
-Why do people keep thinking I'm going to make Eleanor when I ask if they have a '67 Mustang for sale? haha
-Are there any places where post-apocalyptic car model makers hang out?
Thanks in advance!
