sarkasim99 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted anything but I just finished my 1970 Mustang for my good friend B. Wymer. This is the first project I've done for someone other than myself and I got a great deal of satisfcation while building it, and then giving it to him finished. I painted Tamiya Green, and decided not to clear coat it, modified the decals along the hood to make it look a little cleaner with that hood scoop for the race engine. A little bit of wiring and some under hood and chassis weathering and I really like the way it came out. The gloss paint is something I'm not used to, as I usually use mica or metallic. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you guys think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Looks very good, but I think the rear panel and taillight surrounds should be flat black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarkasim99 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Looks very good, but I think the rear panel and taillight surrounds should be flat black. I left off the decal for the trunk lid because I preferred the color contrast of the wing on the body, and the back panel is black, or at least has the decal on it. It's hard to see in that angle. The tail light surround are chrome. I didn't think it looked right either but that's stock. I thought about dark washing the indentation lines but I thought it might make the chrome look too weathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Really nice work. I specially like the clean on the outside but grungy under the hood look - that's the way 99% of all cars actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Nice build. the subtle underhood, "used but not abused", weathering realy brings it up the reality scale. The interior looks pretty impressive, too. I could go on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDano85gt Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 awesome build underhood is real awesome care to share your technique for the woodwork on the interior? I still struggle with this issue on kits with "woodgrain" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Very nice, but why are the pics upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkasim99 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Is anyone else seeing upside down pictures? awesome build underhood is real awesome care to share your technique for the woodwork on the interior? I still struggle with this issue on kits with "woodgrain" I used decals on the woodgrain bits but the steering wheel, this is what I did. I painted the steering wheel brown, took a small round detail brush "pick" (those green ones) and dry brushed flat black streaks on it, then I took black ink, and went over the whole steering wheel to stain it. I wish I would have hit it with globes of clear coat to give it the polished wood look. Maybe in another project. Woodgrain is something I've always wanted to perfect.
