mrmike Posted November 19, 2022 Author Posted November 19, 2022 I added the Air Induction for the GTX even though I don't have the proper hood for it. The dash has been detailed and is ready for the rest of the interior. I started foiling the sides of the GTX. So far I have the front clip completed. More GTX to come... 2
mrmike Posted November 27, 2022 Author Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) I foiled the side moldings this afternoon. I have to use Metal Foil Adhesive which is another step for me. Maybe it is time I broke down and got some new foil. More GTX to come... Edited December 1, 2022 by mrmike 3
mrmike Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 Thanks Jeremy! The foil work could be better, but I am trying!
mrmike Posted December 1, 2022 Author Posted December 1, 2022 My attention span must be getting shorter than usual. I have finished the front and rear window frames. I still have to do the side window frames. More GTX to come... 1
slusher Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Foil really shows up on that color! Nice work Mike!
mrmike Posted January 7, 2023 Author Posted January 7, 2023 I finally finished foiling the GTX. I had to finish the foiling the drip rails and the side vent windows. After I had done that, I painted the interior roof with Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black. 2
mrmike Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 I went and clearcoated the GTX this afternoon and it went rather well until I got to the top of the roof and the trunk panel. Looks like my Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear was a little too hot for the MCW Enamel paint. Looks like I have some wet sanding to do later. More GTX to come... 1
KWT Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Mike, hate that happened but it's still looking good
mrmike Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 Thanks Jeremy! I forgot to "mist" my clear on. I also forgot that this was MCW Enamel not Lacquer like I thought it was. It was rock hard and resisted sanding.
Mike C. Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 ARRRRGHH! Thats a drag. That car is going to look sweet with those Cragar's and white letter Goodyears. I'm staying tuned.
mrmike Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 Yeah, I forgot to "mist" my lacquer clear on. The thing is that this paint was rock hard and slightly resistant to sanding with coarse sandpaper. Oh well, I'll sand it with my polishing pads and go from there.
mrmike Posted March 8, 2023 Author Posted March 8, 2023 I put this model back in the box and put the box on the shelf for later. I do have a couple of ideas and I may work on them later.
