How deep are your pockets? To buy something like that is going to have a price tag of £K You would be better off doing it by hand. What exactly is it you want to make, and how big (I know you said the size of toy cars, but what size of toy car?)
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Something like this would be ideal I'd think...?
