Modlbldr Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) So, here is the build I started years ago and just picked back up. It is a Jairus Watson rendering. http:// When I left the project years ago I had mocked up everything for fit. Once I started back up I realized that the front sat too high. I relocated the kingpins for the front wheels up about 1/8 inch. Now it sits more like the drawing. http:// I glued the very front hood piece into place. http:// Today I primed the parts and did a wash of the panel lines and the grille and taillight panel for a bit of contrast. http:// http:// I'll clean the mess up and hit it with a light coat of primer in a few spots before paint. I picked up some acrylic craft paint that closely matches the rendering. I am building the parts pack 427 for this. Should be a pretty straightforward build.

Jantrix Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Wow! Last post is July 31!! You guys must have slipped back into a slump! Get with it!! I'm going to jump in on this one. I have managed to get out of a slump recently and re-started a project that I have been dying to do for a long time. I figured I may as well post it up here. Pictures to follow as soon as I get them loaded.Later-Very happy to have you. For me at least, model life has derailed at the crossing of Moving Street and Home Improvement Blvd. I likely won't even get to set up the new hobby room until at least the new year. I WILL be back.

Modlbldr Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Congratulations on the new move. I understand being busy with home remodeling. Lately the only time I have to work on models is during my breaks and lunch at work. Fortunately I am the only one in my shop during the day so I can leave most of my stuff out and have lots of storage. I had planned to get some paint on the chassis today but I had some work issues this morning (welcome to Monday morning) so I doubt I'll get anything done today.I look forward to you coming back.Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I shot some acrylic paint on the chassis and suspension a bit ago. It is a custom mix of Spring Green and Soft Grey. http:// http:// It was a bit too bright of green so I mixed in a bit more Grey and re-shot. http:// http:// Much better now. The lighting is poor. When it dries I will move it to some better lighting. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
