'08SEAL Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) I am using the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe 2 'n' 1 from Revell. I am lowering it and adding the custom parts to it. I have got some BMF (first time) and am planning to use it for this. Here's what I got so far. Kit: California Wheels 57 Chevy Bel Air Body: Wheels: Air Cleaner: Engine (So far): Thanks for looking and all comments are appreciated.

bryan_m Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 nice start! BMF is tricky, just make sure you use a brand new #11 blade, and let the blade do all the work, try not to push on it, and you should be ok.....once you get the hang of it, you`ll never paint trim silver again. cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'08SEAL Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 I had a tragedy. I had just put a fresh coat of Bullitt green paint on the body, turning it around, I dropped it. I picked out the dirt that was in the paint (not very much) then I went and hung out with my friends. When I came back I sanded it down and put a fresh coat of paint on. I also got the engine done. So I'll update tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'08SEAL Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry for the late update. I had been busy with carport purposes. But anyways, I got the engine done. I also have some bad news with my BMF. This is like building models from start. I have to learn BMF like learning how to build a model. But I don't like it but don't want to change it. I did BMF on the side chrome, and Silver paint on the window trim. Here's the body. Its not a blue color, its more like a Bullitt green. And a quick mockup. Chassis painted. Thanks guys! Any comments appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
