Jonathan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Finished! I elected to not correct the chrome trim between the front and rear side windows, for fear of doing more harm than good. I tinted the side and rear windows, but not the windshield. I felt it looked better this way. Achieving the bright top was done by using a base coat of Alclad II Chrome between the primer and the white paint. I'm not sure I recommend this, but so far, so good ... All colors are Tamiya Lacquers, and all "chrome" and "aluminum" finishes are Alclad II. Side shot, showing where I probably should have tinted the wing windows. I'm still learning about this hobby ... At one point, I had added the kit's fender skirts (not seen in the movie). At first I liked them, but over time, I felt the car looked better without the skirts. The bright red was achieved by spraying over pink primer, a first for me in terms of an actually finished model. I think it turned out pretty good. The phone camera does whacky stuff with reds, but in person it looks right. At least to my eye. Underside details.

Street Rod Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Very nice! That red really pops. I’ll file the pink primer trick for future use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Great rendition of this iconic car. I re watched the movie from time to time and I don't get tired of it. No CGI, only practical effects that withstood the test of time. Great job on Christine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
