Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The Corvette Guy a.k.a. The Corvette Guru. How in the heck do I detail the wheels that come in the Revell WoF release? Don't have any pics. of that wheel in any of my Corvette reference books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray69 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I would just use the old "black wash" trick on them. Nice Vette BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 John, Those hubcaps were pretty much "solid" with slots only on the outer recess. Bill pics are good. Here is a close up that may help: A good old black wash should work. Hope this helps. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 OK. Been wicked busy since I asked but this is how it looks now. The interior is finished. No pics. yet. Hope to work on it/finish it over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Those wheelcovers look really good John! The car looks GREAT! If I may offer a suggestion if it is not too late: the tires are way too shiny. A light sanding on the tread will tone it down a bit. Just a suggestion.

Wildrice Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nice Vette. The color and the wheel details are nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ya know....the first thing I do with a new kit is sand the tread. I must have done that to it yet it doesn't look like it. I'll have to do something about that. Thanks for the kind words guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 John cool 'Vette , really love that color, I have a few painted Dupli-color that shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nice Job John! Hmmm........I don't have one of those in my stash..............I should try and find one. It's nice to see a '63 built with the standard hubcaps instead of the more common knockoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 A look inside before we see the outside. Revell's WoF '63 split rear window Corvette coupe. Painted Palomar Red from Rainbow IIRC. Badges done with Sharpies! There's no plate as it's going in the showroom. At least for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Course, I realize you'll prolly have to do something extra to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
