Art Laski Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Here's an out of the box build of the Lil' Hot Dogger I just finished to participate in the show rod theme at the Spirit of Speed at the NHRA Museum in Pomona, California this past Sunday. I used Alclad silver base for the candy paint, but the red "candy" is Tamiya clear red acrylic and clear urethane on the frame and side boards. All chrome was stripped, except the front wheels, which were given a Tamiya Smoke wash. Flat red Testors enamel on the dog house and craft acrylics for the roof. Hope you enjoy looking at it. It was a blast to build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looks so nicely put together, a really "tight" build, which is an effect not often seen on show rod style models. I think it's at least partly due to the tone of the AllClad refinisihing, which along with the crisp and sanitary attention to detail, completely transforms the model. It gives it an unexpected realism, if one can say something like that about one of AMT's "Wilder" designs... Big Thumbz Upz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
