​Revell's Cali Wheels kit, shaved, lowered and polished up for Hollywood Boulevard. Tamyia TS-57 Blue Violet and Pure White sitting on a set of Pegasus Supreme's.

Thanks guys! Here is today's progress . A little coffee, BMF and some patients is all it took. Oh yeah and some more coffee!

A little clear a little aluminium tube and BMF to come. This is much closer to the real color.

Such a sweet model...

I love the smell of fresh paint!

Welcome Mick, hope your enjoying the global warming here in the Buckeye state...

One last pic of the insides, my lighting situation is terrible right now the color is much brighter than it appears...

A recent ebay find to add to my collection of Camino's Aside from some light clean up, this one is near perfect.

Adding some more TS-57 Blue Violet and just a touch of BMF to the interior...

Coming along nicely...

I polish first, then apply BMF. If compound is used it should be removed first so the BMF sticks better. As a side note: How many polish BMF before applying it to the model?

We are locked in the misted of a perfect example of that Polar Vortex!

Thanks Tom and Tim, for sharing the history and model. ​Unfortunately it will be lost in this section. Many members will never see it because only truck guys visit this area. But again, if all Finished automotive models were under one heading, it would be easily promoted!

Tried a little cold weathrertwo tone last night. I haven'd decided on the second color yet, this is still primer.

Great looking long roof Carl. The foil is as good as it gets and you continue to put out those shiny smooth paint jobs, NICE MODEL!

I don't have a spot set up right now for my spay booth so I'm forced to paint on the back porch, (un-heated of course) . ​But I have been warming the paint, spraying then stepping quickly back inside. I have a cabinet I can put the parts in while the dry. Last night I started two toning pieces with good results. So we will see. Thanks guys...

Looks pretty good to me...

Thank you thank you! It might be a while before paint. We're in the middle of a freeze here. -2 temps this morning.

Up next on the to-do list. My version of the Revell Cali Wheels Nomad. Gotta have them Supremes. Flattened out the hood abit. Pretty straightforward under the hood. Final ride height should be just a tad lower than this.

A great looking model resurrected from the past, well done.

Don't forget to brush!

Have given thought to some Ed Roth style bumpers?

Thanks again for the comments and interest...

​Whether you like it or not, your imagineering and skills are very apparent. Nice work.

After almost two years of the most frustrating job I have ever had, I start a new position in a couple weeks with a new company and much better situation all the way around. A lot less BS and much better $$.
