Billy Kingsley Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 This is, perhaps, my best effort ever. Finished earlier today, this is my build of the Galaxie Limited 1947 Sedan Delivery. It's a mild custom, although the kit is entirely box stock. The paint is MML Phoenican Yellow and Bright Platinum Metallic (a Ford and Plymouth color on a Chevy, LOL) covered by a coat of MML clear. This is really a great part, and I have plans for at least one more Sedan Delivery and one Aerosedan. I can't afford them currently, but I will soon. I plan to make the second Sedan Delivery a phantom El Camino like hauler...Yes, I'm going to attempt a major body conversion!! I will fix the two problems with this kit when I do that: The hood is not long enough (I suspect that is due to being made primarily for the Aerosedan, the rest of the kit is too high quality to have a mistake like that, and also the exhaust pipe doesn't quite reach the part it's supposed to (manifold? I know NOTHING about engines!) but that will be a very simple scratchbuilding as it's just a straight pipe. Other then that, this is one of the most well made kits I have ever built. It's also the 200th model I have ever built...All since November 7th, 1999. That's a lot of building! (18th completion of 2006) Anyway, enjoy the pictures. There are a bunch of them, and I am not going to post them all. You'll have to visit the album to see them! Also, remember there are no lines on the hood. I masked that completly by eye, and I would say it came out pretty good! I love this shot. You can see the camera reflecting in the wheel, and it shows the wheel detail nicely too! http://public.fotki.com/ElCaminoBilly/indi...ysedandelivery/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
