Rider Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 WHOA, this is simply fantastic work. I really dig the centrifuge casting. I too use Smooth-On products, they are very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italianhorses Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Perhaps the angle of the picture. But the lower front should be definitely more slanted. Edited September 25, 2018 by Italianhorses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 After several years work, off and on, but fairly concentrated since April, I beginning to feel I might be closing in on finishing this. Getting the color on is always a satisfying step. Gravity Color's Grabber Orange for the body, black for the fenders. Maybe a bit flashy but so is the car.

Pico Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Time to shoot the fenders black. This much masking makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Duplicolor black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pico Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm beginning to think I'll get this done for our show this Saturday - everyone here is attending,right? Check the events column on the right for the Southern NNL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Macleod Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm curious...did this one get done in time for a show? Or done at all? Please share! All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 It was on the project table at out show, I'm having trouble making the yellow decals for the fenders; as well as working on another project and moving my model building shop from my unheated basement to guest bedroom. I have tons of time in it and will finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
