Bigfordguy Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I started building this towards the end of March I am painting the car to match this or as close to this as possible. I had intended on painting it a darker colour and colour matching the bumpers and such, but when I looked online for reference pictures I seen this car and changed my mind I have the hood in paint, the colour is not spot on but good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel-Dan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Might have to do mine that color combo too. Very Nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfordguy Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks Have not really done much work on it lately, but figured I would post what I have so far Since I started building models again after taking some time off, I wanted my models to have more detail so I tried black washing my grill for the first time. I am honestly not sure how I feel about how it turned out but never the less here it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looks very good! Love the grill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Kevin Love the paint color. What is it? The black wash on the grille looks good. In all honesty that is a tough grille to wash because the grille is so fine. Most won't be that difficult to do. Keep after it.

JasonC Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Very nice to keep it looking factory. Love the color. I had a 67 Coronet R/T it was a 440 auto though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks everyone The colour is Tuqoise Metallic, I cant remember if it is Testors or Model Master( not at home right now lol) I believe that's a Model Master colo(u)r. That does look pretty close to the factory color. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrherald420 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I've found that when i wash a grill with a lot of small openings a tooth pick will rub off the acrylic/rubbing alcohol mix really good after its dry. Might try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfordguy Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks everyone I have been taking my time on this but I do have a little update The body is in primer although I tend to build my models mostly box stock(still learning how to do custom stuff and detail work) I still like the exterior of my models clean looking so I sanded all the dodge emblems and R/T emblems shaved the door locks and trunk lock and will not be adding the door handles also been working on the chassis And some interior work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nice progress. The white interior will really look good with the body color.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Where do you plan on getting R/T emblems for the 1/4's? Edit: nevermind, i misread your post. Edited April 17, 2013 by JasonC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
