geetee66 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I finally got it done... Feels like I've been doing this for months. I might have BMF burnout now! The build was inspired by the legendary Larry Watson. I hope I've done it justice. I admit that this was a difficult build at times. One of the most challenging aspects, was the mating of the chassis to the body. I genuinely had beads of sweat forming on my brow. Appletons and Bellflowers are scratchbuilt and I printed my own licence plates (one digit different to Larry's own car) and a couple of little 'Watson' stickers on the windows. I chopped a few scale inches off the ride-height and had to repair the chrome on the bumpers as it was wrinkled in a few spots. Paint is all from rattle cans: Candy red over a silver base. Glitter on the roof. Here are the pics: Thankyou for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very cool great paint work .Did you use the original kit glass it looks very thin? Thanks for the comments everyone. Dave, I did use the kit glass. I just gave it a little buffing with fine polishing compound. It fitted the body really well and required only the smallest dots of epoxy to hold it in place.
