I don’t know what you have on hand for paint, but I have a bottle of model master lacquer aluminum paint that I would do the panel with, then I would foil the outer trim, for the tail lamp rings I’d pool some Molotow into something and with a Tamiya ( or equivalent) small pointy swab I’d detail the rings, probably after hitting the ‘lenses’ with Tamiya clear red.

I did a mercury body a couple weeks ago with the colorshift paint from scale finishes, iwata neo with a .35 needle, 20-30 psi, painted it as I would with a spray can, came out pretty good. I just used the same technique as my spray bomb jobs. I used Tamiya ts-13 clear

Wow,,just wow, fantastic work on the trailer, and much like something I would do you had to build another model to continue working on the original model, haha.

That is one impressive looking bunch of plastic, fantastic

Thanks guys, not bad for 10 hours worth of time, lol. Super fun doing it with friends and trying to beat the deadline and still get some sleep!

Calling it done?

Almost there …..

Thanks everyone, obviously this isn’t a show table build, so it’s a bit sketchy here and there, lol, but having fun just the same. Was back at this about 8 this morning, should be able to have it done in time.

Ok, I think I’ve hit the limit of what I can get done today, about 7 and 1/2 hours into it, now I’m waiting for clear coats to dry on cab/hood , so here is where I end for tonight I think,

Thanks all, I’m motoring right along,

Thanks guys, I have a roller….

Air bags painted, some clear on the cab, and the start of dash detailing…..

The colors

Moving right along, got almost everything in color, next will be clear coating the body parts….., making good time so far…..

About an hour in and everything is in primer……

The last two years efforts,

Doing this along with some friends, not tied to Facebook or anything, just us guys texting back and forth and going like mad, lol. Doing a snap pete again so I can hopefully get it done in time, last two years I’ve finished with around 12 hours total time involved , so I’ll be updating this as I go over the next few hours. Thanks for looking , I’ll be unboxing in about 4 minutes…..

I’m in, but no idea with what yet, haha!

Wow! Love the color combination on that, gorgeous!

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I got the hoses on and an MSD box squirreled away in there too.

Food coloring and acrylic floor polish (pledge or whatever it is now), mix food coloring with floor polish to desired level of color.

Thanks for the comments and likes everyone. Looks like I have complete chassis now?

Very nice! Looks fantastic in gold and black.

Rolling right along, engine is pretty much done, I might try to add throttle linkage, but not sure on that yet.

That’s looking fantastic!
