Great looking Hudson!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated! Thanks! I have to say that's exactly what I'm using as a thinner, 3 parts distilled water, 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol, and 4-5 drops of glycerin as a flow improver per 8 ounce batch. I started out using plain blue automotive windshield washer fluid until I found this mixture. I do find the craft paints very tricky to get thinned right sometimes, and I end up adjusting the thinner/paint ratio on the fly until it flows smoothly.

I assembled and painted a couple of Master Box figures to add to my Fujimi Mechanics set for a future "speed shop" diorama. I used all craft paints, except for Jackie's dress which is Testors acrylic Teal. These were pretty fun to assemble and paint, although I do admit I have a long ways to go with shading, shadowing, and highlighting to rival most of the figures I see. I am pretty happy with how these turned out and they should look pretty good in my diorama. Thanks for looking!!

Here's my version of AMT's 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Fastback, painted to resemble an old Aurora slot car from my youth. It's painted in a custom mix of craft paints, Apple Barrel Yellow and Decoart Honey Brown, with Createx UVLS 4050 Clear. Black craft paint was used for the interior, and I used some embossing powder to replicate carpeting. I used some assorted craft paints to give the chassis a weathered look. Thin copper wire was used for door locks and valve stems and I also added spark plug wires for extra detail. Bare Metal Foil was used for the window trim, 2 pieces of 1/8" styrene tubing were used for the exhaust tips and were painted with Molotow Chrome. This is actually a fairly basic kit with not a lot of parts for the factory stock version, although there are a lot of parts to also build a "stock car" version. Some areas of the assembly were rather tricky including the glass and rear bumper, with the trickiest part of the whole build being fitting the chassis to the body while maintaining a decent ride height. I ended up using some 1mm x 4mm styrene strip pieces and a couple of my insulin needle covers glued to the inside of the body and at the back of the chassis to hold the ride height. All in all though, I mostly enjoyed the build and am pretty happy with how it turned out.
