Greg Cullinan Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 This one was a bear in painting stage,started out tamiya pink but due to poor results it took a bath in the purple pond.Fial color is Tamiya pearl light red ts-59 over Dupli-color sandable primer. Installed aftermarket wheels and a photo-ecth sign in back window along with Kens fuzzy fur in pink. Thanks for looking,I really enjoyed this one as it was my first big bodied car.

Jantrix Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Great paint, great gloss, great interior/engine - over all great work. But the wheels/tires don't really work for me. You have what looks like a real fine traditional hot rod but the modern billets look very out of place. I recommend a set of wide whites with chromies or babymoons. Even a set of five spoke cragars with wide whites would be good. The wheels/tires from revells 49 merc would be great. Please understand this isn't a bash of your work, just my opinion. I think the traditional look is the way to go here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTKLAMF Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 i think the '53 looks best dropped in the weeds not with a rake. interesting colour though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I like the color and the wheels. It all looks good together. I might have to try more Tamiya paints instead of just the clear TS13 and clear pearl TS65. I noticed your envelope of BMF in the back. I think you're supposed to store it in the refrigerator.

Your best bet for planning builds is to find some members here who have a lot of 1:1 car show pics in their Fotki/Photobuckets and hit those up for inspriration. That's what I do.
