sk8erdave Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This is revells kit straight out the box. Got it for xmas when it first came out (!) After numerous attempts at spraying it I put it away until a couple months ago. I some fairy power spray to strip the pain of, and after a good sand it was good enough to paint. There were several layers of paint on it! Body colour is a ford colour and the interiror is citadel paints skull white with bleached bone aka cream tuck n roll. Theres a few scuffs on it as i dropped something and it got hit The fender skirts didnt want to sit right either. Oh well its done and on the shelf. I'd do a better job if I got the kit again. I had everything except the body painted years a go and added the cream to the tuck n roll more recently to add come detail to the interior. I also bare metal foiled the window trims.

sk8erdave Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 A first for me when building model cars, is that I added a black wash (citadel paints/games workshop's nuln oil) to the door/panel gaps to add some detail. A minor detail but as I'm older now (25) Im using what I've learnt over the years and from painting warhammer 40k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carcrazy19 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Still looks good Allen. I think every one has those kind of builds where something unfortunate happens. I just got back into the hobby this year and one rule that I learned and like to stick by is "Don't let perfection turn to frustration". Its hard to follow sometimes but in the end all that matter is that you have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Always build to suit yourself.All that really matters is that you are pleased with the end result.If someone else doesn't like what you've built that's their problem,not yours.

GasPunkAlley Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 GW washes have worked wonders for me as well. Nuhn Oil, Sephriam Sepia and Agrax Earthshades are favorites of mine to use. I also like Nightshade mixed with Earthshade to make a warm black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
