MoparMark Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hey I just got these done recently , yes I'm sure everyone in here has built there own Nancy rear engine so I finally got around to doing mine. It's all mostly stock except for the body skin which I made a vaccuform one piece body instead of the never fitting panels that are in the kit. Also the rear wheels are a little bigger and I made correct wing struts that attach to the top of the bell housing. The Ivo car, I couldn't resist making a car I wanted to make a log time ago. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoparMark Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks everyone for the great responses.To answer a few questions both cars are 1/25 and the tinwork is a clear decal I made that is applied over aluminum painted panels then a slight clear coat of lacquer with a little transparent amber in it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow, very beautiful builds! Fantastic paint jobs on both, and I really like the detailing too. If the pics were taken on Drag Strip or something like that, I would be sure that they are 1:1 Scale builds. Great Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ABF/Cdriver Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mark, Do I need to paint the panels or can decals go over the chrome, or is it a matter of adhesion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparMark Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 What worked for me was I painted the panels and fuel cell with aluminum paint then with clearcoat lacquer and then the decals on top of that. Finished off with a clear coat with a little amber in it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
