KWT Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 This is the Revell snapper... built this last year right before my surgery. Paint is Tamiya pearl light blue... and I foiled for the first, and most likely last time. As always, thanks for looking... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I have heard that the snappy body has good proportions. Foiling is my favorite part of my builds. You did pick an intensive one for your 1st. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug 1061 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 That looks great. That is a tough one to foil. The next one will be much easier and faster. I hated BMF the first time I tried it but now it's much easier to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70 Sting Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Great looking build! I also have a strong dislike for BMF but it looks like you did a dang, fine job with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrucha Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Looks nice. Good job on the foiling. Foiling is easier if you spread over two or three nights. I got frustrated when I tried to do it all in one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I'm not a big fan of '57 Chevys like some people are, I can take them or leave them but I gotta say, I really like yours. That color works great on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Good color choice on the 57 Chevy. It has a nice stance. I have one in my stash. Nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWT Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Thanks everybody, it is much appreciated... When I decided to foil this one, I thought I should pick a less complicated one to try on... but then figured, go big or go home.. I spread it out over a week. You guys that do this a lot, my hats off to ya... Edited October 16, 2022 by KWT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys that do this a lot, my hats off to ya... That’s a nice looking Chevy!👍 Maybe you had some of that bad foil that was around lately….that could make a first go real frustrating.

KWT Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thank ya much! I didn't have any issue with it sticking, except in corners... it's just a pita... I do think I'm going to try it ever so often... maybe... probably not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Nicely done. Like it or not the 57 chevy is an iconic American car that has a important part in the car culture. Personally, I like the tri 5 all the same. Great job on the paint . Hard to see it's a snapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 That build looks beautiful and in a well suited color. What base did you use under the TS-58 and was it clear coated? I've used this color in the past and while it's looked nice, I much prefer the look on this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
