jjsipes Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Started another one this week, like I need anymore in the works. Its a Moeibus Flock Hudson that will be used for the 53 Herb Thomas Hornet. I will use the 53 interior and trim pieces from the stock 53 kit, then I can make a stock 52 when I get the time. Anyway, I cut out the skirts and puttied the forward most skirt line since it appeared to be molded incorrectly. Primed with Tamiya White Primer. Then I broke out my airbrush for the first time in year and sprayed the body. I mixed Testors Navy Blue Gray and some Testors Sea Blue and then sprayed tesotrs Lacquer Clear over it and this is what I got. It is alittle more gray in person than the pictures show. Its needs to be wet sanded and polished before I can apply bare-metal foil and the decals. Edited October 10, 2012 by jjsipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slantasaurus Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Where are you getting decals from ? I would rather build a Herb Thomas car than the Marshall Teauge version that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 I wetsanded and recleared the body. I have started the decaling process. This is your best friend when decaling a Hudson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustBill Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Looking good brother. That's a great product for decaling any car for that matter! Look forward to the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroguy Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 2 cents worth...really good job...did you mix the paints or one over the other... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 2 cents worth...really good job...did you mix the paints or one over the other... I mixed together then airbrushed it. Not sure the ratio I just dumped the sea blue into the navy blue gray to my eye til it looked close to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks like you got the color just right, Jason. I believe I have this kit in my stash and will stay tuned for tips and pitfalls to look out for. The decaling looks perfect as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Since everybody is familiar with what went on with Photobucket, I thought I'd see what pictures I had prior of this build and reupload some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Thank you, Jason. Thats a lot better than putting up with Photobucket's dirty dealings. You should switch your service to postimage.org. It works quite well, and you just have to put up with advertisements. You don't really need a service to post your pictures here. They can come right out of your own computers picture files. No picture sharing service needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Canuck Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 That body colour is really nice. The car was listed as being painted in Hudson's Southern Blue - which MCW has faithfully reproduced. But you've done well with your custom mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
