geetee66 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 My last build was all rusty and grimy, so it's back to shiny again. found a car online as my inspiration, the Electracutioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I have a set of Pegasus Sovereigns and because this screw-bottom kit is probably derived from a promo, It's an easy job to slam it into the weeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 I had a closer look at my inspiration photos and saw the Electracutioner has a tuck n roll dashboard. so I added some half round styrene strips to the top of the dash ?

Great looking T & R Dash. I have only done a few with the T & R type interiors but have found something that may simplify adding this feature. I used Plastruct #91519 1:48 scale Corrugated Siding. This comes in sheet form and can be cut to size. Looking at the sheet I have the rolls appears somewhat smaller than what you have here but I'm sure they offer different sizes as needed.

geetee66 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I shot some silver last night... Then tonight, some nail polish. I used Mr Colour levelling thinner for the first time. It went down smoooooth! ( I taped the hood to the roof, so the shade would match the body) Edited January 2, 2020 by geetee66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeRS Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 You nailed it with the stance, and that paint job is looking great! Are you going with a black roof like the Electracutioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I love Roger Trawick´s Electracutioner and I really like where your build is heading! I tried to make a scale clone of it myself a few years ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to make a scale clone of it myself a few years ago: Oi! Nice one! That's really good looking. looks like yours is riding on Pegasus Sov's, too. I like your shade of purple. I must admit, I just used what I had without mixing a particular shade. I'm going to cut off the moulded headlights and use the custom ones, like you did. I plan to use a trimmed tube grille from the AMT 58 Chevy custom parts. Or have a go at making one from stainless steel wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry ray Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Or the custom grille from 65 chevell wagon it would take some cutting and grinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I discovered that metalflake nail polish can block a gravity fed airbrush. My Iwata HP-c took a lot of time to unblock and get working again. The cheap siphon fed airbrush which came with the compressor worked without any problems, although I did need to turn up the pressure to nearly 40 psi. got a really nice glitter base for the pattern now.
