Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Not so old. But I really love this one. AMT 1962 Buick Electra 225 Round 2 reissue. Paint is Tamiya TS-14 Black from the spray can. All lettering was foiled before painting, and then the paint was locally polished until the chrome letters would show trough. The side trim on this car is a real pain on the rear end to foil... 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1962 Buick Electra 225 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) That single piece chassis is amazing. Proof again that clean, well detailed box stock builds and kits with low parts count can be every bit as impressive as one with aftermarket parts added. Beginners take note. This is great Tulio.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks guys!! I had posted this one when I had just finished her, but I'm in a "nostalig" phase Yes, it is all box stock. The detail is just paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino246gt Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Wow, that is nice! Those photos are crisp too! Yes those old kits can look fantastic with a good clean build, that one sure does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) OK. We've known for a while now that you can and like to build great looking Fords. Then you start showing us you can build great looking Chevys too. But now, you build great looking Buicks too? I'm always impress with your work. It's just really nice to see that you do more than just Fords. Scott Edited July 28, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
