Cosmo_Song Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone for the comments. Sorry I`ve been out of this for a while. Just finished school and started working which got me kinda busy. Here are some updates, I decided to go with the metallic copper color and no vinyl top to give it a low-priced, low trim level curbside model.

superbike-shaun Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Wow I'm sure that looks particularly impressive in person,.how long did it take to "damage" the sheet metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo_Song Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Wow I'm sure that looks particularly impressive in person,.how long did it take to "damage" the sheet metal? Thanks, I was using thick aluminum foil (from the kitchen baking supply). I covered the foil to the original plastic part and carefully shaped it and took it off. And then I just twisted the foil to the desired look of damage and I used epoxy on the back side to secure the shape of the foil. The whole process took me like 15 minutes or could be less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Great work.How much arm-twisting would it take for you to do another one and send it off to D.R.A.G. to cast it?Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I`ll put it in my calendar, next one should be an accurate "glasshouse" style 4-door sedan with the correct Caprice full trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 How did you scribe those door lines so nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo_Song Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) How did you scribe those door lines so nicely? I used pencil to draw the outline on the primer body first, ant then I just used X-acto knife to slightly do some strokes along the pencil line (free hand). After a couple of strokes for the depth I pushed harder to achieve the desired depth for the door lines. I think it just takes some patience and a fresh blade Edited October 3, 2016 by harleyszone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine always come out too jagged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
