Rider Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) The '49 Revell kit is one of the most popular kits built in recent years. So I had to do something a bit out there. First crack at the lace technique. Zero Paint: GT40 Gulf blue/orange Model Masters: Zinc Cromate Yellow Spaz Stix: Ultra Chrome, Over Tamiya Black Acrylic, for black Chrome effect My own resin wheels/tire's/spinners 2part poly clear with gold pearl powder mixed in. Super fun build, one that I am proud of with much room for improvements. Edited May 8, 2016 by Rider Added more build specs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

espo Posted April 14, 2016 Very nice. I like the way you made a Custom look more like a Road Racer. The lace paint treatment is something I have also wanted to try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burnout Posted April 14, 2016 Your lace treatment looks very cool. Almost looks like a snakeskin pattern which I like.What is Spazstix and is that how you made the nice border around the orange lace or is that something else?Thanks for sharing.

mrm Posted April 14, 2016 Very different and very nice. I love the paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rider Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Thanks Very much guys.Yes It is Chrome paint. It works 100 times better then Alclad, no hit and miss like Alclad.This stuff can be handled, taped, cleared etc, basically as true to Chrome paint as you will find without the crazy expensive chroming paint. It also comes in rattle cans. Edited April 14, 2016 by Rider Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rider Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks for the compliment. Yup that is paint, done with .4mm masking tape.Snakeskin Gulf livery?Sure, why not!Cool paint combo and some awesome underhood detailing, I love the oil filter lines.As others have stated, the black stripe is really sharp!Thanks, it does kinda look like snake skin doesn't it.
