Greg Pugh Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wow Greg. That's looking great. What did you end up doing with those headlight we chatted about.I was using Google to determine how to go about doing the headlights (the wire mesh, what color the buckets were, etc) when I ran across a picture of a '54 Vette concept where they did not use a wire mesh and the bucket was all chrome with no paint. I thought "Well, I can do THAT!". I threw them in the body that way and thought it flowed well with the overall concept of the car. That was easy.

Jantrix Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 That is very sharp looking. I like that you stuck with the I6 instead of throwing a generic Chevy V8 in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fseva Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I love how beautiful that Anthracite Gray looks... almost like a black pearl, with a very satiny finish. Excellent work! I wish Testors would do that one in lacquer. Can't take the odor of their enamels. Also, an engine that is really miles above kit quality! But man, a 5-year commitment? You're the olympic athlete of model car builders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Pugh Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 But man, a 5-year commitment? You're the olympic athlete of model car builders! I probably should've said "on-and-off 5-year project". I worked on this one in the rotation of about two or three other models I'm working on. But either way, I'm happy to have this one on the shelf. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardz Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Now  that is slick.  Not a fan of the supersized tires but for whatever reason they work on this body style. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 What a beautiful model! You really do excellent work. Beautifully photographed too. Great job!Looks like you polished the front glass too, very nice. I like too that the red interior is not a bright shade, but toned down. Very classy.

cruz Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Not a fan of the wheels/tires combo but you did a terrific job on everything else. Love the paint job. Did you airbrush the finish from the Testors enamel paints? I absolutely love that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
