Metallic paint for an interior?
tbill replied to crowe-t's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That is testors icy blue over gray primer with no other clear coating. May help for visual reference. -
Fan vs. Friend

That’s pretty cool. I am always pleased when I finally meet someone face to face that I’ve know thru the internet for ages. -
Cool project. The first thing that popped into my mind for the front end was bat mobile, may not even be close, but possibly a starting point? edit, never mind just googled it, was thinking it looked different than it does.

Good looking build, color combo really does grab you!

Another superb build, very nice.

Wow, that looks fantastic, very life like, excellent work. -
Very well done, beautiful build!

Well, I glued mine on before paint, we will see what happens........, lol. what are these directions you refer to? ?

Thanks guys. Plan was to have it finished for a show October 20th, but not sure it’ll make that deadline. I do have a lot done, parts painted, and starting to detail some sub assemblies. I plan to work a few hours a night this coming week on it, so with some luck, by next Saturday night, it’ll be finished. Started on the dash tonight, and did the hood insulation.

That is a great rendition of the 1:1, great looking build of a gorgeous car. That kit was put to good use, well done! -
Got a bit more work done on this. Paint polished up pretty good, and did some work on the floor pan.

Thanks all, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, have half a mind to do a superbird and an elcamino in the same colors and display them all in a row, lol.

I really like the looks of that, color suits it well. The body colored bumpers really look good on that. Nicely done .
-
Man that’s sharp! Well done !

Well, my Ma Mopar ‘what if’ build is done. Combined a 68 chevy elcamino with a 70 Plymouth superbird . The nose was a very close fit, only minor working of the fender ‘peaks’ was needed to get it to blend. I grafted the Plymouth interior door panels, dash, seats and console into the elcamino interior tub, also grafted the superbird tail lamp panel into the tailgate area, modified the elcamino bumper , obviously added the wing, and tossed a hemi into it mated to a turbo 400 trans , used the elcamino frame and rear diff, steel wheels/caps and redlines from the 68 charger kit. It’s painted in testors flaming orange. Thanks for looking.

Calling it done. Thanks to everyone the looked/responded, was a fun build of something different. Far from perfect, but it looks cool on the shelf.
-
That is looking cool, I’ll be following along on this one.
-
Man, this is fantastic!

I will admit, it does have a touch of nose high attitude, but it’s not extreme.
-
That’s a pretty cool find, I’ll be watching this one......, how ever you build it.

Why do you build models?
tbill replied to Oldmopars's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I got back into it for something to do in the winter months , rather than couch potato in front of the tv. Found some local shows, entered stuff and won a few awards. I build for me, but if they look good to me, I’ll show them. As a result of this hobby, I’ve met some great people, found this forum, and have been to NNL east 4 times, none of which would’ve happened had I not decided to build again to pass time in the winter months.
