Perspect Scale Modelworks

You can try the hot/cold water method. Dip a portion of the model (roof, hood, sides, etc) into a bowl of very hot water while reshaping then immediately place into a bowl of cold water, still holding the shape. You'll need to do this several times and be careful not to bend the plastic too forcefully to avoid breaking it. And of course be careful not to burn yourself. I used this method on a '58 Fleetwood promo with fair results. Not perfect but did remove a good amount of the shrinkage/warpage. Individual results may vary. If you're able to make bucks that may help in the process.

Very interesting video. With so many men at work shows why there was once a thriving middle class. That would be a very cool diorama if you can pull it off.

Just purchased these wheels from them yesterday for the 2002 I got for xmas. Hope they don't take too long to arrive.

I'm watching. This is something I've been thinking about for some time.

Managed to get four done this year. One more than last year.

Thanks guys. Neat little car.

Seriously!

My wife saw this parked at the DMV. I have no idea what it is. Can anyone identify it. Sorry for the poor pic.

Have you considered these:

I was excited to see this kit on ebay recently and was going to bid. Luckily I found a kit review by Chuck Most, I believe, before I bid. I passed.

The paint, the stance, the engine bay details, even the custom roof.

...SHINY Cadillacs

Looking really good Steven. The dash alone is a work of art. I love your wood grain technique.

I'm digging this. If only Revell would tool a stock version of the 48 Cadillac so we get those classic body lines to play with. A 55 would be nice too.

You are correct. It's Testor enamel not Model Master. I'll follow your suggested wait times between coats when I respray. I used Tamiya Lacquer Thinner and wiped off all the paint and primer then washed the hood with dishwashing liquid. Letting it dry thoroughly before I try it again.

Insane! I'm watching.

Very nice job. Looking at the Torino next to the Maverick takes me way back in time.

1949!? Wow. Nice job on a true collectors item. Luxurious for its time but getting in and out of the back seats couldn't have been too pretty.

What did you do to fix it? There's quite a bit of bondo under the paint and I'm not sure how it would hold up in the purple stuff.

Awesome. Please tell us how you corrected the headlights.

Cool. If you can, invest in some Microscale Micro Sol & Micro Set. Helps to get the decals to lay flat and they're not expensive at all. Like Bob said, keep building.

Marvelous.

Great job on the interior!

Very nice and represents your 1:1 perfectly.

Wow! That's a lot of bugs.
