Pretty easy stuff. Mostly pieces from an AM Taurox, Plague Spitters from a Plagueburster Crawler, and toothpicks. Superglue, cheap black primer. Leadbelcher here and there, Balthasar Gold on a couple of details. Slapped some Typhus Corrosion/Ryza Rust on it. Pretty much done/
Windshield is a mess- I tried to scrape the primer off but it didn’t come loose.
Anyway, Hot Wheels are 80 cents at Kroger right now. Bought like 20.

YMMV but I've found the best method is to simply keep the base color of the car and spray on a matte varnish. That will cut out the shine of the plastic. Then just dirty it up. If you really don't like the color of the car then you could just paint black/rust/dirt entirely over the base color.
If you spray with a black primer it does really mess up the windshields and some metallic parts you may want to leave chrome.

If you look closely, a lot of Hot Wheels have weapons already on them. I got the Rose car from The Last Jedi, and it has a rocket rack right on top. We got a couple that have headlights that you can glue a toothpick or bit of sprue in for MG barrels. There’s an El Camino that has a sort of engine in the bed that can easily be called a mortar.

The black one is a ‘67 Firebird. The original color was a great silver, but I thought it would look better painted black and chipped up a bit to let the silver show. I sprayed it way too thick though. Some armor bits and a turret from Stan Johansen. Craft mesh on the winddows. I may go back and put some barbed wire over the exposed engine.
The green one is a later Firebird with Rhino bolters chained to it (plain old jewelry chain) and a couple of Chaos pieces from another Rhino sprue. On that one I just sprayed it with Matt varnish and then hit it with a bunch of Agra Earthshade and Typhus Corrosion. Windshield is too frosted looking, but hey- it was about 20 minutes of work for a pretty cool looking game piece.

It was fun to meet another forum member and one who is so close as well.
Nice guy, A+++, would have him over again. And I think he will be a Spartacus player for my work friend game group.
