Restoring & Customizing a Bugatti Veyron | My GWCC 2026 Project

My GWCC 2026 project begins.


I will restore and customize a 1:18 AUTOart Bugatti Veyron, including body restoration, custom paint, engine detailing, interior and chassis work, and a cinematic final diorama presentation.


This intro sets the mood for the full build journey.

    Oooh. So cinematic. I'm interested to see how this goes and how it fits into the competition.

      Thank you! That’s exactly the cinematic vibe I want to keep throughout the whole project. I also build plastic kits, but for this competition I wanted to try something different and a bit unusual. My goal is to show that customizing and restoring a diecast model can be just as exciting, challenging, and creative as building a kit from scratch.

      Thank you so much! 🙏 I’m really glad you like the idea. The story is just getting started, and I’m excited to share how this Bugatti evolves through the restoration and custom build.

    I'm really digging the idea of a model 'restoration' project. 🤩Was this kit weathered already? Or was it part of another project? Can't wait to learn more. Thanks for sharing! 🙏

      Thank you! 🙏 The model already needed restoration when I got it, but I added the weathering and diorama to set the atmosphere for the project and tell the story of a forgotten Bugatti. Now the actual project begins: restoring and customizing this 1:18 AUTOart Bugatti Veyron with custom paint, engine detailing, interior work, chassis work and a final presentation. More progress updates are coming soon!
