nice kit and build !

whouw whouw whouw awsome

i always think constructive critisism is great , as long as the person makes clear its ment helpfull its actually ment in the bast way possible ... its like cool to get great replyes but on some occasions people should be able to give hounest opinions , in this case it comes across to me like the intensions of jantrix where not , ment badly ... i dont want to go in the details but the only thing i can say is that me personally would never degrade a person and would always have the greatest intensions when replying ... but when he would say in a nicely ment manour that on some things you maybe would be better of putting more time in other stuff then hgeavy mods i can understand and maybe thats a bit right .. seeing your model to me it looks bad ass styling wise .. so the looks are great , but the fact is it looked like a work in progress the first time i saw it , and again i mean you no harm at all , no i would rather help a person then try to flame them .. its a hobby and we all have skill levels and all learn more every build ... so i wont go in the details about what i think you could improve on on this particulair buils but only trying to make you see that people def. are not out to harm you , especially Jantrix .. trust me on that one now please dont feel offended or attacked see this as a adult forum discussion / conversation

now thats cool looks great

thnx carl

awsome and clean and that bed linex stuff looks superb

nope shiney is cool but i just like the build itself better with weathering and stuff .. technique wise its more fun i guess

thnx mike , well i worked on and on and tied in everything and finished it so thnx for the great replyes much apriciated and thnx for watching under glass topic > http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85509

first end pictures , i will make better ones tomorrow in the daylight i only want to ad 2 things , a side mirror , and a hand painted pinstripe on the tailgate together with the previous 2 builds and in hounour of the chevy rear a chevy modelcar in a modelcar lol

thnx guys !!! i will ad more detail but started with a gas cap , safety triangle (how do you guys call that ??) , tyre chassis done , the interiour is not really visible so i opted for a simple bench .. floos is invisible so i kept that sloppy .. washed the chrome with oil paint , the chrome was to ... nice for the rest i think i either do the blower belt matt black (is now semi and still has a bit of gloss) or put tape on it , i have this black cloth tape that looks like a belt maybe do a nother pinstripe on the back like i did on the tudor

gave the firewall a coat of silver and a wash with oil paint to get some difefrent tones washed the rear bumper's chrome i painted on yesterday , added the taillights , on the ovals i needed to put some orange clear in i didnt have the glass from the kit ..... did the tank silver with a wash , that will get more detail later on and with patience and a steady hand chromed out the engine and chassis parts .. when dry i will wash the crome with oild paint for depth drybrushed the chassis with brown , only a base later on i will do more to that , inside of the scopp i painted that red washed the panellines with black

awsome !

awsome and soo nice !

nice !!

nice !!!!!

awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it

awsome stuff

thnx ..

played with salt and paint today and got the basic paint done on the body ... will be cleaned up a bit and more details added I NEED OPINIONS !!!!!! put a large wide tyre in front with the same rim i used in the rear .. the rim would stay flat like this but be painted the same as the rear one.. what do you think keep the wire wells and white walls or make it more beefy looking / like more truck looking .. or do you guys think those tyres are to big for the front ?? some chrome on the rear bumper , will get some oild paint wash for more depth the "box" under the rear window will get a hole in the tp with the fuel filelr neck and a gas cap on top sticking out on the rear part where there is no wood on the floor i will make a large tool box

awsome weathering and love the engine !!

made a floor this morning out of thin copper plate bend a tunnel out of copper , the top you cant see when the cab is on due to the top chop and gave the whole chassis with everything on a base coat of blak this will dry up matte , just sprayed it on this picture .. then i can go in with chrome , lots of chrome and maybe some small color details ... and when thats done give it a oil paint threatment
