MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. This is looking great, seeing all the pieces in detail like this makes me want to build one of these new style kits.
  2. Just about done, but after I glued the body onto the chassis, I realized I forgot to make a window net for it. I'll make one before I add it to the "under glass" section.
  3. Wow, that's really cool! 3D printing is really going to expand the limits of our hobby. You were doing a bang-up job on the scratch built body you had going, though!
  4. This is a great idea, I am looking forward to watching this build!
  5. That's what I was thinking too, the quilted look is good, but I wonder if its going to be too large of a pattern? I'll have to see when I get the seat mounted in there and the dashboard on, if it looks alright.
  6. Check out this aluminum foil I found. It was used to wrap a gyro I ordered for lunch the other day. I think this pattern will look good for the heat insulation at the drivers feet? I cut a piece and sprayed it with some flat clear.
  7. This truck is wild! I love the engine, looks awesome!
  8. I saw this trick many years ago, in one of the magazines. Scrape the inner lip of the wheel with the back of a blade, and color it red with a permanent marker. Got most of the decals on, but my lighting wasn't good, so I'll take them again when they are all on.
  9. I found this piece of tubing and it works well for the fuel overflow spout.
  10. I airbrushed some clear yellow on the oil pan to give it an anodized look, like a Milodon style oil pan. probably not correct for this shape of oil pan, but it was good practice, and I will use that technique on others in the future.
  11. Real nice job on this! I got one of these bodies a while back, and I plan to do the same subject. What did you use for the glass?
  12. I like these Buicks, too. I built the High Life Bobby Allison car a few years ago. I got the power slide decals, and painted the car with Tamiya Park Green. The gold section on the rear bumper is Tamiya gold, and its almost a perfect match with the decals. The gold stripes on the front were tricky, I had to cut them to angle them down, while still lining up the black trim, and I'm happy with how they turned out.
