so this isn't my next project but I wanted to share this. This is a experiment that I tried I work next to a body shop and I was talking to one of the techs about the clear they use. I told him about this model im starting pretty soon and told him I wanted it to look like a mirror on the outside. So he told me to prep a scrap piece of plastic model and bring it in and he would clear it for me and this is what happened. No sand just sprayed and polished the clear. I wish a would of taken more time preping it but I was in a hurry plus I wasn't sure if the body shop clear would melt the paint or not so I kinda did a sloppy job preping it. Wad excited on how it turned out and just wanted to share it.

no it Doesn't would be a bad idea to try sometime though.

And we have a windshield

And some weathering on the seats and exhaust tips.

Just put some pigments on the bottom of the ford for a little more weathering effects

Well guys I've liked this kit soo much that I did something I've never done before and I bought the exact same kit again but this time around we are going to make it shinny.

Very nice work can't wait to see this finished keep it up

Thanks,and yes I did black wash the engine. And its actually one of those brown napkins you get at fast food restaurants. All I did was cut a piece to fit the seat dipped it in a mix of craft glue and water then applied it to my liking works out pretty nice when it all finished.

Mark, very nice work I love how its turning out

Made the exhaust tips for the 37 ford still have to weather them yet and starting the interior too.

Thanks guys this one is going together really quick and smooth first time doing this kit and I think its my favorite one to build.

Finally got this photo thing taken care of hope the pictures turn out better than last round guys...

Thanks Rob and Michael I will definitely have to look into those two thanks for the advice

Ya sorry about the pics guys I've tried to put bigger pics on there but it kept saying that the picture was to big to load on the forum. You guys know anyway I can get better pictures?

Thanks guys! And Fred the weathering process is easy to do and its a fun process to do my favorite way to do a model.

Found this model at hobby lobby and had to get it. Going for a rusted look as you can tell. this model is going together like a gem very fun to work on. hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Thanks guys! Here is a little more progress I did on the chassis. Little shading makes everything pop...

It's been a while since I worked on a model but got back into the swing of things. Found this on clearance at hobby lobby and couldn't pass it up.

Wow love it!!! Great build Richard

Richard, thanks for the advice I guess that alternator is just floating there. Would you have any suggestions on how to build one I'm not sure on how to go about it. Thanks

Carl thanks I also agree that it look pretty smooth so I think I am going to just leave it be to many sharp edges and I don't think I'll risk it.

Little update. Have the chassis all finished and put the rear fenders on.

Thanks guys!!! And Carl there is three coats of clear on there, then I will sand and buff it to get a nice finish hoping that I dont sand threw.
