Thanks Steve, I appreciate it. If you can get past the front end, it really is a nice kit. Thanks Carl! Thanks Chris! Thank you Tommy! I was expecting at least one question about the red fenders, lol. I probably should have mentioned in the description that the idea/story with this one is more of a day 2/resto/clone that was redone by the "owner" from a base cutlass.

Thanks Guido! Thanks Gareth! I'm not totally happy with the grille fit on mine, and for some reason the front of the body seemed to squeeze in on final assembly causing the hood to not sit right despite fitting perfectly before mounting the body on the frame. Other than that, I was really impressed with the quality and fit of the kit, especially being a Lindberg.

Black cars cleared with Pledge Future Shine
Dragonhawk1066 replied to Venom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes, you are exactly right, for some reason the pledge didn't cover the Vallejo very well. Maybe I needed one or more coats. From what I've tried with pledge, a spoon just doesn't seem big enough to get a good practice gauge on with an airbrush. Most of my spoon paint tests, whether it's with lacquers or craft paints, get pledge brushed on as a clear and they all turn out exceptional. If I could ever get a whole car to turn out as good as some of my spoons, I'd be very happy, LOL. -
Black cars cleared with Pledge Future Shine
Dragonhawk1066 replied to Venom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The Jurassic Park car is Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red with 2 coats of Pledge brushed on with a soft paint brush. The Zombie Island car is craft paint with 2 coats of pledge also brushed on with a soft paint brush. The Flintstones car is craft paint with 2 coats of pledge airbrushed on, and the Gumball Rally Camaro is Vallejo Model Color Light Yellow with 2 coats of pledge brushed on with a soft paint brush. The soft paint brush I used is not quite 1/2" wide, more like 3/8". Sorry only one is a dark color, but these are what I've used pledge on, I normally use it mostly on interior seats, dashboards, and door panels. -
Very nice! Looks right in pink!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it!

Looks good to me! Stance is nice and I like the wheels!

Great weathering, it sure looks the part.

This one is Lindberg's 1967 Olds 442. The color is Craftsmart Deep Bronze Metallic craft paint and is cleared with Decoart Gloss Varnish, both sprayed through my Paasche H airbrush. The interior is Apple Barrel Pure White craft paint and the black is just Stynylrez black primer, both also airbrushed, with a coat of pledge floor gloss on the seats, dash, and door panels. I added parts box tires with RWL decals from Fireball Modelworks, and the wheels are from the AMT 1969 Olds 442 kit with the spokes painted with Tamiya X-10 Acrylic Gunmetal. I also added door locks, valve stems, heater hoses and ignition wires for added details and the window trim is BMF. The final fit was a little tricky, but this was a pretty decent and well detailed kit otherwise. Thanks for looking!

AMT 1967 Supernatural Chevy Impala with my own spin on it..
Dragonhawk1066 replied to RandyB.'s topic in Model Cars
Outstanding and flawless as usual Randy! Great color and details! -
Looks good! Great stance, and the wheels really set it off.

Looks Fantastic Marcos! Great engine details. That's very close to the colors I will be doing my AMT '70 Monte Carlo in pretty soon.

Very nice! One of my all-time favorite NASCAR schemes, being a long time Scooby Doo fan. I built one when they first came out and the decals got the better of me. I'll eventually try to do both the purple and black versions, maybe in a couple of years.

Well done!

Looks good! My Ollie's had this and the 2009 and 2012 Corvette Coupes recently for $9.99. Nice to see they build up well, even though I didn't buy any, lol.

Revell Shelby Cobra 427 S/C: Gumball Rally Movie Car
Dragonhawk1066 replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Thanks Ray! Thanks Eric! Thanks Rex! Thank you Trevor! That's actually my long term goal to do as many participant cars as possible with the kit selection available. Some of them are pretty hard to come by, but maybe in time. Thanks Gareth! Thank you Roger! Yes, there's quite a difference between indoor and outdoor. I usually try to get both lighting samples, especially with metallic paint jobs. Thanks Larry!
