Revell 1962 Chevy Impala SS Hardtop 3'N1.
Dragonhawk1066 replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Thanks everyone, much appreciated! Thanks for the views, it's very rewarding knowing that some of my tips and such are helpful to others. I was planning all along for the top part to be white, but with a different shade of blue until I found the midnight blue at the store. Engine detailing is usually pretty hard for me, but I've been very fortunate to have gotten along with the BMF pretty much from the start. -
Here's my version of the Revell 1962 Chevy Impala SS. It's painted in Folkart Pearl White and Midnight Blue metallic. I used Createx UVLS 4053 High Gloss Clear and gave it a wet-sand, polish, and wax. The interior is the same colors with the blue being darkened just a little, and I did add embossing powder for the carpet. I used Bare Metal Foil for the window trim, and I added heater hoses, spark plug wires, door locks, and valve stems for extra detail. I did use 1/8" styrene tubing airbrushed with Molotow Chrome for the exhaust tips. This was a fantastic kit with little to no flash and great parts fitment. The only area that didn't go completely smooth was the front grille/bumper assembly, and that was a minor issue to boot. I really enjoyed this build and highly recommend this kit. Thanks for looking!

Sorry I didn't keep up with the progress on this one, I was so focused on the video series on it I neglected to take any progress pics. It is finished, all of the videos are up on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop, and I will have the completed pics on Under Glass tomorrow but for now here is the Reveal Video. -

I finished up the interior yesterday. I used embossing powder for the carpet and brush painted Molotow Chrome on the door handles and window cranks. I used Bare Metal Foil for the seat trim. -

Looking good! I like the color choice too! That's too bad about the decal size. I either carefully brush Molotow Chrome over the script, or sand it down before primer and paint and then apply decals after paint or clear. I find Rustoleum primer pretty decent to use and very compatible with other paints. Their paints are ok as well, they just spray heavy due to the nozzle, but with practice you can control the flow better. Their clears are the issue as they are very hot chemically and have a tendency to react to the paint, even their own brand for some reason. -
Nice job on the Mustang!

I glued the bumpers and front ground effects on first. I sprayed the silver on first, then taped over the silver and sprayed on the black. It just seemed easier to me to tape over the silver areas rather that the other way around. Turned out rather nicely for me.
