maltsr Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Latest project on the go is the Revell 30/31 Model A Ford. I don't like the fit of the doors on the real car or the kit so I eliminated the hinges and added styrene strip so the doors fit flush. Chassis is a shortened '32 Ford sedan, engine will be the flathead from the same kit. Wheels are Radirs from the Thunderbolt kit, tyres from the parts box with hand painted whitewalls (only one coat so far - I use 'Warhammer' paint from Games Workshop for this). Unusually for me, paint is car paint from a rattle can (not Tamiya ). Comments welcome.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 That's looking real good. The flames are the perfect accent to that color. Please, keep it going.
Jantrix Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Yeah, nice work. I have a panel version of this kit. I'm not really looking forward to tackling it, but I gotta say, you did us proud on this one.
Dave42 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Nice work. I love the cleaner look of the door, that's a great idea. Later,
maltsr Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Made some progress during the week - the rolling chassis is complete, lowered front suspension and basic plug wiring through drilled aluminium tubes. Tyres have had a few more coats of Citadel paint and some Tamiya gloss has been carefully applied to the body parts without too much reaction from the decals .
Thor Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 This is very nice, one tip is to use some flat clear on the fabric part of the roof. very nice engine, liked the plug wire collector tube.
crazyjim Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 This looking good. Purple is my most favorite color.
maltsr Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 Made some more progress this week. The interior has been fitted with tuck n' roll made from half-round styrene - so-called because the pack only got half-round the car, and had to buy a second pack this morning! More interior work included fitting an MCG photoetch dash panel, decal and vents from the 1932 Ford set. More gloss clear on the body/fenders and a little polishing before applying satin black to the roof and running board mats. Hope to get this baby finished over the weekend, or at least in time for our monthly club meeting on Thursday.
Chris M Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Thats looking very fine indeed. I'm currently working on the same kit, and have come to the same conclusion as you about the doors. The hinges are lackluster to say the least. And those are my all time favorite set of scale wheels, Kudos, I need to find someone that casts them and buy a dozen sets. Keep up the beautiful work!
surfjunke Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Looks great. Nice colors & details. Like the stance. Very cool rod.
maltsr Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Raining today so got it finished - see 'Under Glass'
Dr. Cranky Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 That looks wonderful. It's a great model. I'm working on a few right now.
