Im impressed with your build quality and jealous you got so many built. 😁 My favorite is the gold roadster. I love the subtle flames. Could I ask how you did them? Hi Jeff! Thanks for the compliments. As to the flames, I used Tamya's LP Clear orange, shot with my airbrush over a Lazy Modeler mask. The effect was great, but upon clearing over the flames, the clear accentuated their contrast with the base color, which was contrary to what I was looking for. Too dark... So, I just dusted the sides of the body, over the flamed section, with the same Tamya's metallic gold spray-can lacquer that I painted the car with. It "buried them", and I got the "ghost" effect I was looking for. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Extremely impressive body of work, each one is as breath-taking as the next one. You are indeed a styrene artist. I am especially intrigued by the '58 T-Bird. The roof looks like it may have been liberated from the late-model Cougar kit - is that close?
