crazyjim Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I like the SHINY :) and also want to know how you did the lacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 The lacing came with the decal sheet. He used to have lots of nice decals but now I would not order from as he has been keeping the money nad not fillling the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That turned out great! As someone can already guess, I like the subject alot, there can never be too much Stockers or Super Stockers. You did great job on that paint and decals, and I really like that engine detail. Sharp build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Overall I am happy with it. I have learned from some of the mistakes I made and hopefully will not repeat them on the next build I was very pleased with how all the AMT parts fit up with the Johan body. The hood is from Harts parts and also fit up with very little work even though it was molded to fit the AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caine440 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I still might try and dull coat the wheels to get them to look more like the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Tech Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Nice job Roger, another thing you might want to try to tone down the wheels (if you plan on leaving them on the model) is a paint called Polly Scale (a railroad paint). They have bottle clears in gloss, satin and flat. They are water based and flow out super well (no brush streaks) and have a long work time not usually know with water based paints. I use this paint (night black and grey tones) alot for undersides of funny car bodies, undersides of dragster panels etc. I really love the stuff!

caine440 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks for the tip! I have never used polly scale before. I will try picking some up online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Sumner Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Looks great as usual Roger! And I will echo what Charlie said about the Pollyscale paint. I used to use a lot of it in my airplane models. The trouble is, it was originally from Floquil but was taken over by Testors and they have now discontinued it so whatever is left over is it. The Vallejo brand of paints is a good and comparable alternative though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
