Looong & Looow 33 Ford Roadster... "à la Coddington"
Slotto replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Beautiful build Claude! -
Hey Claude, thanks! They were from a 1/25 remote control car. It was a Cuda I got from Amazon in 2017. I'm thinking it was Maisto Toys

Nice piece. Clean build. I prefer these rims over the Revell rims

I got the front steering and suspension sorted out... I ended up with 16 gauge wire nails. We use them to hang pictures around the house. Nice sturdy nail. I ended up cutting some square tube stock and I cut the heads off of 6 nails -3 for each side. The upper A arms are from an old Camaro kit -not sure where the lower arms are from. Anyway, it gets the job done. Stay Tuned...

Very well executed. Nice straight lines

Full fendered AMT '29 Ford Roadster [Dec 30 update]
Slotto replied to Can-Con's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Wow, that paint is like glass. Killer! -
Like the Turbine car, this Corvette has a one piece interior. I decided to blow it apart so I can detail the door cards. The interior will be red and I plan another first for this piece. Flocking. I made the wheels posable a few years ago but I'm not thrilled with the stance. I would like to drop the front just a bit and bring in the front wheels slightly so they sit just inside the wheel cavity. Dont fret, disc brakes all around are planned. Stay Tuned...

Thanks Zippi Like I said, this has been in and out of the box so many times...I also had many different plans for it over the years. At one point it was gonna be a drag car. Here's the hood. I carved up the interior for whatever reason just to stitch it back together for this idea. Here's the interior with the mini tubs... Stay Tuned...

I've had this kit for more than 20 years. It has been on and off the workbench too many times. I'm always experimenting with new techniques to see what works for me and what doesn't. in order to get these rear wheels up under the body requires mini tubs. I did this with my go to. Pill bottles. More on the interior later. The wheels and tires are from the Lindberg 38 Custom Ford Van kit. This is the first time I applied BMF before painting on the emblems and after paint on the trim. For the paint, I chose the cheapest can of flat black that I could find. 97 cents at Wally World. I wanted to see if I could get a decent finish. One decent coat of paint, then rub on the emblems to get the details to appear lastly one coat of polyurethane After the clear cured, on the rear deck on the left I went after the orange peel with 3k sand paper then McGuires wax. On the right side and roof I used a spent dryer sheet. Sounds silly I know. Again everything I do is an experiment. Eventually something will work out and become part of my technique. I will be going after the rest of the car with 5k and a polish, just to see what happens. I dont love it but I dont hate it. Stay Tuned...

Beautiful piece! Love everything about this

Alright, I lied. Here's more. While I'm waiting for more supplies I decided to go after those pesky panel lines. I brushed on black acrylic and just before it cures, I wiped it off with a paper towel. What a difference! I've never filled the seams before. I will definitely be doing thing on future projects.
