landman Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) There it is, Missing Link resin kit with AMT Starliner platform and a semi scratchbuilt supercharged R4. I wish I knew what happened to the paint. All that mottling is hardly visible to the naked eye. The camera must have better eyesight than me.

wayne swayze Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Great to see the Studebaker Pat! Your photography makes it really stand out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Turned out beautifully, I had watched your engine build. Have to agree with posing in front of the garage looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Looks great Pat! Digicams can do strange things with metallic paint. I've always liked the looks of these cars, and it's amazing with the new roofline change for '62 how it changes the character of the Hawk. Yet it was the same basic car going back to '53. The garage dio pic is a good one..............looks right at home parked there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Fine looking model. Your experimentation with creating that garage backdrop really paid off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Fine looking model. Your experimentation with creating that garage backdrop really paid off too. I find it works better if not at 90 degrees to the floor. this way it doesn't tend to reflect and the colors are truer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Very nice! I absolutely love these cars, but I have no idea why. They are very nice driving cars, with a few quirks like all cars but nice. I saw one under a hotel canopy in 1976 or so and I had to have one. It took until 1995 but I got it. I think they look very classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yeah, that's a nice touch, using the garage exterior mixed with the interior diorama shots. It gives it more realism, by far.I wouldn't worry about the paint. It's hardly noticeable. Often, cameras show up things, that the naked eye can't see. I sometimes gasp when I see a macro-photo of my work, but everyone else says it looks fine to the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
