Chuck Most Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 First one done for '13! This one has a Mustang II front suspension (nabbed from a Monogram '37 Ford), wheels and carbs from the Revell Tweedy Pie, and a scratchbuilt finned cylinder head. Started out as the Teague stock car kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Oh wow, that's another beauty, Chuck. Don't tell me you are going to go towards SHINY now! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's really cool... but I can't help but think it would have looked even better with a white roof (to complement the wide whites)... Looks like you highlighted the grooves in the foiled areas somehow? Nice touch, it gives a more realistic depth to those areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks guys! That's really cool... but I can't help but think it would have looked even better with a white roof (to complement the wide whites)... Looks like you highlighted the grooves in the foiled areas somehow? Nice touch, it gives a more realistic depth to those areas. Thought of the white roof, but I didn't want it to resemble the '53 box art car too closely, you know. Weird you mention my highlighting of the grooves in the foiled areas, as I did nothing of the sort. Nice! Where'd you get the hood ornament? Love the WW, 5 spokes, and 6 shooter. That's the stock '52 hood ornament- I believe it's in the '53 kit box too even though the '53 replaced it with the scoop. Look for parts 61 and 62 on the chrome sprue.

krazyglu Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You never cease to amaze me Chuck, how fast you turn out these model's is awesome. You can do shiny just as well as patina my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
