Wheel Arch Molding Foiling Tutorial
Tommy124 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I have seen this only now... Great tutorial, many thanks, Steve! I wouldn't say that I have been struggling with BMF before, but this might take my work to a higher level. Especially, when it comes to difficult arches, curves etc. -
Good job, well done!

My 1:1 Cars
Tommy124 replied to Ghost_33's topic in 1:1 Reference Photos: Auto Shows, Personal vehicles (Cars and Trucks)
2006 Chrysler Sebring Convertible (JR). As our family's vacations and travels had be cancelled this summer due to Covid-19, I decided to buy this car instead for cruising the home territory. Really nice ride... -
Excellent work on both of them... I have the AMT in my stash but I'm looking forward to getting the Revell one, too. As soon as it will be available over here...

1968 Dodge Charger R/T (in Medium Turquoise Poly)
Tommy124 replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Thanks a lot for your kind feedback! That's the beauty about this kit, it comes with choices... It contains both the Mags and hubcap wheels and a nice decal sheet with several stripe colors to choose from. The redlines on the wheels are decals from the sheet, too! -
Hi folks, this Mopar has been on my to-do-list for quite some time. And it was clear all the way which color I would do it in. I fell in love with the car in the "Art of Mopar" book I own, so it had to be that Medium Turquoise Poly (code LL-1). This is the Revell kit, built box-stock except for the radio antenna. And a snapshot with the General:

Beautiful Caddy, excellent work all around - I love it!
-
Hi Ludwig, well done on the inside and outside! Nice touch on the half-opened side windows. I like the choice of colors too. Did the wheels come with this “brass” look or did you treat them in any way?
-
My opinion exactly, great build!
-
Great build, excellent in every department!
-
Outstanding re-work, great result!
-
That looks very nice, I like it!
-
Nice finish! Which kit is this?
-
Hi folks, this truely was a quick fun build. Small parts count in this kit, but good detailing anyways. Very good accuracy and a nice decal sheet. I used Tamiya TS-19 over white primer, followed by clearcoat from the can. The interior is painted with Tamiya Rubber Black except for the seats which are made from black vinyl (yes, they were on the tyres' sprue!) and remained unpainted. Built all OOB except for adding the interior mirror and aluminium ferrules for the exhausts. And a family shot:

Well done, Ludwig! This is the strongest and more rare 69 Camaro outfit. The 427 ci aluminum engine from the Chaparral 2F race cae really makes it stand out, and you really did this special car justice.

Chevy Impala '70 (gun metal with black custom roof)
Tommy124 replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Thanks again guys! Thanks Rusty. And I couldn‘t agree more with you on this kit and it‘s rich and useful contents as far as extra wheels, custom parts etc. are concerned. If you live in Europe and came to building vintage US cars a little late - like me - then you really appreciate the extra stuff that comes with kits like this. Separate parts on sale are pretty hard to come by and expensive over here! -

Very nice Chevelle! Great paint job and trim. And I like the street machine look too!

Chevy Impala '70 (gun metal with black custom roof)
Tommy124 replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Thanks guys! I love to hear how this brings back memories to some of you. Unfortunately, in Germany cars like this can only be seen on special US car events. -
Chevy Impala '70 (gun metal with black custom roof)
Tommy124 replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Thanks a lot, guys! Thanks! I painted the badges using Molotow Liquid Chrome (from the refill bottle) and an fine 10/0 brush. I made sure that there would be just the tiniest amount of MLC on the brush, so maybe it's kind of a dry-painting method... -
Hi folks, this was long overdue... my first Impala build. I chose the last Impala vintage that I would call "classic". First I intended to do it in a more custom kind of style but then again I thought this kit containing the custom roof will look better in a more "serious" style. So I used the custom wheels and lowered the body, but changed nothing else. The body has been painted with Tamiya Light Gun Metal and the roof with semi-gloss black from a no-name spray can.

Beautiful Chevy! ?
