I didn't do anything special, its just the regular Alclad over gloss black. I didn't clear coat my chrome parts, I find they look quite good with just the Aclad. Glad you like it!

Thanks, the Hemi is going in a Charger, you can find my build in On the Work Bench, although its probably pages back, I haven't spent any time on it in a while.

Finally an update on my Challenger. I spent the weekend wet-sanding the primer, and during the week I sprayed the Body in Zero Paint's Titanium Silver. The roof and shaker hood scoop are done also in Zero Paints Orange. Hopefully I can clear coat everything this weekend and finally assemble the model before the Christmas holidays. Enjoy!

Thanks guys!

Thanks!

Thanks Ken, and thanks for the tip! The SLS was done in Zero Paints Rosso Corsa, really great to work with. Get on that SLS!

Great builds and excellent pics!

Great job!

Since I was taking some photos of my latest build ( T-Bucket) I pulled out a couple others from the last 2 years and took a couple shots of them together. It's always nicer to see them compared to very different models of the same scale. Enjoy!

Beautiful job, and one of my favourite concept cars!

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all of the kind words guys!

Thanks guys!

Wow amazing job on the weathering!

Nice one!

The Copper T is finally finished! The model I began with was an old Monogram Ford Street "T" Roadster. The only modifications are the wheels/tires and I lowered the front suspension. Exterior Paint is Revell Enamel 93, and the Interior Paint Revell Enamel SM 378. Thanks for those who followed the build, enjoy!

Finally an update on my Copper T. I had to lower the front of end of the chassis in order to give it the right stance. The first pic is before I lowered the front, I was just mocking up the front wheels/suspension to see how it would look. Since I'm using a different wheel/tire combination then the kit came with I had to do a bit of work to get that front end low enough that the car retains it's aggressive stance. In the second pic I had just attached the exhaust, which I wrapped with white tape to mimic header wrapping to cover the hot metal where you might burn your leg while getting in and out of the car. Not sure if that would really help in reality but I figured the exhaust needed a bit of detail. Only pieces left now are the grill and some paint touch ups on the front suspension. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip!

Yes they are, I wrote at the beginning of the post that whoever started the model actually glued the cylinder heads upside down, so the V8 looks a bit strange, but I couldn't rip them off without destroying the engine block. I paid 2 Euro for the kit, so I left it as is, she'll still look good once everything is together.

Thanks!

I bought this kit for 2 Euro at a flea market last summer. Somebody had started to build it, so a couple things were messed up but all the parts were there. I definitely had to get rid of the gold though. A good portion of the model was gold plated so I had to strip everything down to the plastic and start fresh. The white wall tires came from another kit I had, I figured they would be better then the 70's wire wheel/fat rear wheel combo. Whoever started the model actually glued the cylinder heads upside down, so the V8 looks a bit strange, but I couldn't rip them off without destroying the engine block. Since some of my other projects are taking long, I did this as a quick build on the side. The colors I went with are: Exterior Paint Revell Enamel 93 - Interior Paint Revell Enamel SM 378. I hope you guys like it so far, she should be done very soon!

Outstanding work and nice clear photos!

Thanks, I'm in the process of doing that now, photos to come this week.

Hi Cory, thanks! All I did for the grill was paint it matte black, and I used a Silver Paint Marker to paint the Chrome around the grill. Hope that helps!
