Psychographic Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 I've got the first round of filler done on the doors. It looks pretty good, but sanding these things are a royal PITA. Most of the front suspension pieces are painted and ready for final assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips~Bart. It's the corners that suck. I did learn you can get into the corners with a scribing tool. You lay it on the side and it cuts halfway decent, but still a pain.

Psychographic Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Here's a rough idea of the interior colors. The turquoise is darker and the tan is more of a light buckskin than what appears in the pic. I've got flocking that is a dead on match for the turquoise to use for the carpeting. The floor and rear wheel houses need one more coat before the flocking goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Very cool. Looks very modern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychographic Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I realized I screwed up the color scheme with the dash and needed a fix. Flocked the rear half, not real happy with it, I'll touch up some spots after it dries. It should look good with the amps and subs. I guess I should make/find a head unit for it.

Psychographic Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 The frame is just about done, A little more work on the front suspension, brake, gas and air lines should button it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychographic Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Some mock up shots. The color for the body. It's a base of acrylic with nail polish pearl over it. Once the polish gases out I'll clear it with urethane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrm Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I like the color too. I love using nail polish on models. Some of them can be tricky to thin tho. How long do you usually wait before you clear them with urethane? Edited November 3, 2012 by mrm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you usually wait before you clear them with urethane? I apply several thin coats giving each ample flash time, so the solvents evaporate out fast. It usually only takes about 2-4 hours, overnight to be safe. Edited November 3, 2012 by Psychographic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychographic Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 The floorpan is cleared, if it looks blue, it's the idiot behind the camera. I can't get the proper color without editing the pic. I started running brake and airlines. I had the rear done, but it was done out of the frame and didn't clear things properly. I almost gave up on doing it in the car from lack of patience, but I got it. I still need to paint the brake line coupler and the airline manifold/solenoids.

JasonFL Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'll either scratch build them or steal them from the 39 Wagon Rod. They came out great. If you scratch built them I would love to see photos on how ya did it or what you used. I wasn't aware that the 39 wagon came with them. It's coming together nicely, can't wait to see it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
