72 Charger Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Fantastic work . I was going to attempt the very same paint job myself after seeing it in the same magazine. But I don't think I could of done as good a job as you . Keep at it cant wait to see it finished. Seeing as you have got such crisp masking lines have you thought of masking up the pin stripes? I think you could do it MOPAR OR NO CAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragmodels44 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hey thank you guys! I thought about doing just that, but as I was removing the tape from the dark green, which is in front of the sublime green looking color, I lifted a small chip of the dark green. Sooooo, I haven't decided how to do the lines. But, I'd bet if u tried it, it would come out better than u think. I can't believe the modeling skills of the builders on this forum. But I suppose you being your toughest critic, pushes us to do better. I am 5 colors from finishing! The shaker is going to be lots of fun to do!!! The total number of colors will be 22!

dragmodels44 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Well boys, here it is. Mocked up with mags and slick. My measurements or my eye was off at the end. It looks like the last few colors are on a slight angle. Ever so slightly... I know the white, or I tried to use what looked like Apline white is too wide. Still, I'm happy with it. It was a real challenge and I'm just glad I didn't have any real issues. Now... the stripes, but in all honesty, I'm probably going to use the white stripes. I can't find thin black unless I can find a bunch of Z/28 decals. Hope u guys like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Micro Scale has sheets of pinstripes. The 1/64 is out of stock on thier website but they have "1 and 2 inch" on HO scale. That's pretty thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have seen people use an ultra fine point illustrator's refillable pen for these fine lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Looks great but I bet it would be horrid to drive with the odd size tires on each side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragmodels44 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 yeah! Apparently the real car is functional and drivable, but I would agree with you on that one. I contacted the Wellborn museum and they really liked it. That was kinda cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This is just somethin' else. Can't begin to tell you what a brilliant job you have done so far Steve. Rock on brutha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragmodels44 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 thanks again! I think all the comments are keeping me motivated!!!! If u look close at the drivers side, I noticed I tore the drip rail foil. After several attempts at foiling the wheelwell trim I gave up and just dry brushed it on. Everything's looking ok, but Im finding imperfections. Well, it's the fun of it I guess but I'm always looking to hone my skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
