    It's weird how light plays games with these images. The seats (same color as everything else) have now received the dark brown wash, but look way lighter in this photo. Once I've done some more work this afternoon, I'll semi-assemble some pieces so as to get an overview of the overall effect, which hopefully will look OK.

    Real nice thing for you to say, Joe, and it gives me the confidence to continue.
  3. Roadrunner
    Thanks a bunch, Joe. There does seem to be some unwritten rule that super glue will anchor something in the wrong place almost instantly, but seldom will do the same thing where you actually want it.
  4. Roadrunner
    It would seem that many here do.

    Thanks a bunch, Joe, I can use all the support/encouragement I can get. Yea, there are actually two shows here soon, one in September, the other in late October. I know for sure I'll make the October show with this, but I also found out that the show in September, has an automotive curbside category, which is perfect for this model, so I'll be really trying to finish it off by then.

    Agreed. I have no idea when I'll have the guts to tackle an engine.

    Wow, cool model. Were it me, I'd build it in a heartbeat.
  8. Roadrunner
    Cool project. Hard to go wrong with a gasser, at least in my book.
  9. Roadrunner
    Looks good to me, Joe. I like it.

    True enough, but your reward is our admiration,... or something along those lines.

    Thanks very much, fellas, I really appreciate the comments. With any luck at all, I'll have the interior finished next week (I'm also feverishly trying to finish a 1:32 plane, so my time is split between the two).
  12. Roadrunner
    The posts certainly do add up. I've been here just about a year and a half now, and seem to post almost daily.

    Fun stuff. Indeed it's correct (its that is).

    Door panels, having been glossed, but then given a flat enamel wash, left them with a semi gloss sheen that I like, so I went ahead and added the door emblems.

    Center console work has commenced. This may not look it, but it's aluminum and chrome trim, but doesn't seem to show up that well in the several photos I took. I still think it looks pretty decent though. Thoughts?

    Thanks a bunch, Rich. I'm starting to feel confident that I might actually finish this one in time. I suppose that is a possibility. For the immediate future, I'll just paint the trim from now on, at least until I can find a product that works right for me. Painting is a snap, though it won't necessarily look as good as the foil.
  17. Roadrunner
    That is a great color, Kev. I like it a lot.
  18. Roadrunner
    What's not to like? Wonderful.

    Tonight I ordered yet another sheet of BMF; this time (presumably), the original product. I'm actually getting a bit more comfortable using the stuff, but I've also been hunting down car models that don't have a lot of chrome. Rather shameful perhaps, but at least one way not to end up tearing my hair out.

    There are at least two that I'd like to have two of, one for building, one for keeping; the Dream Rod and Silhouette show cars. Built both as a kid (much like the Outlaw), and would like to have them again.
  21. Roadrunner
    Plastruct is super excellent stuff, way better than Evergreen for the smaller diameter rods. Nice Haul.
  22. Roadrunner
    As far as cars are concerned my Revell Outlaw is one I'll probably never build. Other than that, if I buy it, I intend to build it.

    With door panels now gloss coated (lacquer), I’ve finished adding the foil trim (stuck OK, but not great) and also added a dark brown wash. Once thoroughly dry, I’ll spray with semi gloss and add the door emblems.
  24. Roadrunner
    That car in post #1 is gorgeous, Kevin. Just beautiful.
  25. Roadrunner
    Some dry brushing and detail painting, and that'll look splendid.
