Dragonhawk1066

Thanks! I've both brushed it on and airbrushed it, but mostly airbrush it on. It's almost like water so it doesn't need thinning, you just have to experiment with the air pressure. I use a Paasche H at about 15-18 psi to keep it from going on too heavy.

I finished the tow vehicle for my boat and trailer today. The color is a custom mix of Decoart Extreme Sheen Garnet and Delta Ceramcoat Black Pearl, and the cab/roof in Black Pearl. I used Pledge Floor Gloss for the clear. For the interior, I painted the dash body color, the floorboards in Apple Barrel Pavement, and the door panels and seat in Delta Ceramcoat Sand Dune. The dash detail is mostly kit decals as is the seat cover. The wood grain on the bed is also decals, but I did paint the bottom of the bed as seen in the chassis pic. This is pretty much an out of the box build, but I did add wider parts box tires, the poverty caps from the Revell '66 Suburban kit (They were a bit more detailed), the C-10 emblem decals (also from the Suburban kit), valve stems, plug wires, and heater hoses. This was a really nice kit, and I really enjoyed the build, especially pairing it with the boat and trailer. The bed lining up with the cab was the only issue I had, but fortunately it was a pretty easy fix, and I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for looking!!

I finished up the boat and trailer today. The color is a custom mix of Decoart Extreme Sheen Garnet and Delta Ceramcoat Black Pearl on the deck, Black Pearl on the upper hull, and Anita's Pearl White on the bottom, all craft paints sprayed through my airbrush and cleared with Pledge Floor Gloss. The seats are done in Delta Ceramcoat Sand Dune, and the floorboards in Apple Barrel Pavement. The same colors were used on the trailer, and I added the poverty caps from the Revell '66 Suburban kit to match the tow vehicle and the taillights are from the parts box. This was a pretty quick, easy, and fun build and went together with no problems.

Very nice, clean build!!

That's pretty wild looking! I like that color!

A quick mock of the front end on the frame, I also got the individual Chevrolet letters on the tailgate, and the underneath of the bed painted.

Nope, I used Decoart Duraclear Gloss Varnish on the white and blue Trans Am's, and for this truck I airbrushed on a couple coats of Pledge Floor Gloss. I wasn't going to try to wet sand the clear on this truck, so the Pledge was the way to go.

Very nice, and an excellent paint job!

More progress on the truck today. I got the interior done and most of the chassis ready to go. Also got the bed decals and C-10 emblem decals on. This is a really nice building kit so far.

Boat and trailer are almost done, Just a few more details, like tail lights for the trailer, and maybe some decals on the boat, we'll see.

Got the dash done and the grille blackwashed yesterday. Making some good progress on it now, I'll try to get more pics tomorrow.

Great color, and I love the engine swap!

Outstanding!

That is a great color, especially cleared. Black stripes would really accentuate this one, rear spoiler or not. I've used craft paints on bodies for my last nine builds, mainly metallics, and am very happy with the results. Doesn't matter what paint you use, or who thinks you should use it, if you get good results that's all that matters. By the way, here's a '67 and '69 Camaro with stripes and no rear spoiler to hopefully give you a little help.

Very nice T!!

Nice looking Impala!

It's Cousin Eddie's new house!!!

Looks great, and a great color choice!

Here's a few pics of my boat and trailer I'm working on along with a Revell '66 Chevy Fleetside tow vehicle in the same color combo. The deck and trailer are a custom mix of Decoart Extreme Sheen Garnet and Delta Ceramcoat Black Pearl. The upper hull and trailer fenders are in the Black Pearl and the bottom is in Anita's Pearl White.

A few progress pics of my 1966 Chevy Fleetside that I'm building as a tow vehicle for my AMT customizing boat and trailer that will have the same color scheme. The body is a custom mix of Decoart Extreme Sheen Garnet and Delta Ceramcoat Black Pearl craft paints. The cab and roof are painted in the Black Pearl. I'm really liking the look so far and hope to get the interior painted tomorrow and the clear on Friday or Saturday.

It certainly does. I may do a WIP when I get to mine, although I don't expect to start it any time soon. Right on Replicas on youtube has a build-up on it using still shots. I haven't watched it in a while, but their build videos seem pretty informative.

The prices over the last few years were getting pretty ridiculous. I was so happy last year when I found out about the re-release. My understanding is they are going fast too.

My pre-order for the Revell Auto Transport Trailer came in yesterday from Mega Hobby. I'm pretty geeked to have finally gotten one, and for only forty bucks (I had some rewards points from their site) I'm pretty happy. I also bought some items for my garage background and speed shop diorama I'm slowly working on. I got 6 doors, 6 oil change pans, 6 workbenches, 4 engine hoists, 4 rolling tool boxes, and a drag racing Christmas Tree all for about 55 bucks. I bought them on ebay from a seller called Make it RC. Pretty cool stuff that seems to be 3D printed.

That is nice! Great work, especially in such a small scale!

Nice job and nice back story! I've always maintained that the 1970 Chevelle is the gold standard of Muscle Cars.
