CSMO Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I have built these two 1/25 cars, an AMT "40 Ford Tudor sedan and a '32 Ford Vicky. Both are recent builds. I am an airplane and military vehicle modeler, but I built 1/25 cars in the early '60s as a teenager. These are my first 1/25 cars in 50 years. Both are made from the kit parts. I used military paints for most of the details. I don't own an airbrush, so these two are brush-painted and have two coats of brushed-on Future as an overcoat. The '40 is painted Testors square-bottle #1103 Red. The '32 is painted Testors square-bottle Gloss Tangerine/Mandarin Brilliant. The '32s tires were so soft and squishy, I filled them with pipe cleaners like an innertube. If I were to own these 1/1 scale cars this is how I would have them be. Adios, Larry. 1
jeffs396 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Wow Larry, brush painted? The paint looks excellent in the pics!
Roadracer Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Wonderful work! They look real nice! I also build jets for a change of pace!
Foxer Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Brushed with Testors Red??? I bow down to you .. I'd have trouble getting that good a paint job with the airbrush!
Agent G Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 You sir are the master brusher of the forum. Please share your technique with us mere mortals. G
PowerPlant Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Those are about the best brush paint-jobs I have ever seen... They look almost impossibly smooth! I'd like to know your technique And, if I may make a suggestion... Accentuating the panel lines with some darker shade of colors you have used, or very thinly applied black paint, will make these beautiful models look even more realistic Edited June 5, 2013 by PowerPlant
rmvw guy Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 They both look fantastic for brush paint, that must have taken a lot of hand rubbing afterword. Very nice even if they were sprayed. By the way, I'm a plane guy too!
Jeff Johnston Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Brushed with Testors Red??? I bow down to you .. I'd have trouble getting that good a paint job with the airbrush! Totally agree. I;d have never believed these were brush painted looking at the pics. Wow...maybe we should all try brush painting LOL !!
