Albert Moore Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) My take on the Revell 1/25 scale 1930 Ford Model A coupe. The finish was achieved by drybrushing Model Master metalizers over a gray primer (in multiple sessions to build up the finish). The tarnished look was done with copper Rub-N-Buff, applied with a sponge. A wash completed the effect. Thanks for looking. Cheers, Albert Edited November 10, 2022 by Albert Moore rearranging photos 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Great looking finish on the body. Like the engine details and the wheels and tires. Your girlfriend looks a little scary, but I'm sure she was just muggy for the camara. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The perfect rat rod. The bare metal looks awesome. The burnt effect on the headers is a nice touch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 That's about the nicest bare steel finish I've ever seen on a model ! Along with the detailing and extra touches you've got a real winner there , excellent job !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Proportions are right, stance is dead-on, parts choices work together...and the bare metal effect is the absolute best I've ever seen for what it's supposed to be. Truly outstanding work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 That is just terrific. I love the use of the sculptor's mesh for the top insert and the grill. Very nicely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I’ll have to echo others that the bare steel effect you achieved is absolutely killer. I also like the other details you added like license plate collages inside, the grill and top inserts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
