Project 0015 – Mona Mae Cosmetics (Mary Kay(TM) on Steroids)

See the Step-by-Step Project Guide

  Mona Mae is on a mission! Ever since she first laid eyes on one of those pastel pink sales trophies that her rivals use, she’s had one goal in mind – building her own cosmetic sales empire! Look out soccer moms – Mona Mae is coming your way and her goal is to sell cosmetics to you any way she can. She has to. Mona’s Caddy cost a bundle and she has to sell about three grand a month to keep the repo man out of the garage at night.

  Mona Mae isn’t shy. You can tell by the color of that Escalade that she wants you to know she’s coming. And if she can’t sell you some product: she wants you to sell some for her. Mona has an arsenal of cosmetics in that rolling product demo making her sales pitch hard to resist. With a full vanity and lineup of product in the back she can quickly show you how good you’ll look with the right makeup.

  Inside the cab, dual video monitors outline her company’s product line and benefits. Regular clients get the royal treatment with a glass of Chablis while being shown a presentation of the latest Mona Mae cosmetics. A telescoping console laptop keeps track of sales and inventory in real time too.

  You may never see Mona Mae’s Cadillac in your town but you can imagine her in this project pulling up to the front of some skyscraper and loading up a wealthy client for a demo tour. For the modeler, this project makes use of fluorescent color and special lighting effects that you can use and modify in a number of ways to suit your needs.

  There are also tips showing how to remove chrome plating from parts in order to paint or re-chrome them and a method for placing decals over raised surfaces.
