Fabrux Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Finally finished up my second Datsun 720 build. Build thread is here.
Fabrux Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah, I'm not super happy with how the license plate turned out. I had wanted to recess it farther toward the frame but the step bumper interferes. Also, the kit's plat mount is super thick. I think I will end up re-doing it with some thinner styrene and a different plate.
RustedBronco Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Nice looking Datsun. You coming to the CAMS model show at the end of May?
Fabrux Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Hey Ken, I'd love to make it to the show but unfortunately it looks like I'm going to be moving that weekend. Plus, its my daughter's birthday!
pharoah Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Ah, the 'Plain Jane' version. How do you letter the tires? Nice!
Fabrux Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 The tires were done using a new trick I learned. I have a little piece of stamping rubber glued to a piece of styrene rod. I apply Vallejo white paint to the rubber and stamp the raised letters on the tires. This gets the paint on the letters and nothing else if you're careful with it.
