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! ?

Beautiful build and a lovely paint job!

Nice result. Good paint job on the "Morocco Red" and I especially like the work on the V12. As you said, it takes quite some effort to replicate that "chaos" in the engine bay. What is the reason why you didn't do the orange/ red lights in front/ rear bumpers?

Many thanks again, guys, I appreciate it!

Great build and paint job in accordance with your own high standards.

Many thanks, Geoff, David and Joe!

Many thanks guys!

Great color choice, paint job and building quality. Very nice Mopar!

Hi there, another restoration done. Not much to say about this kit, except that it is stone-old and not very well-engineered on the front end. The paint I used is contemporary Ford Lime Gold by Gravity Colors, sealed with 1k clear from the can.

Many thanks!

Hi Ludwig! Great classic color combination, paint job and detailing work! You really know how to do these 60‘s Fords, which is probably because you have one in your garage! ?

Yep, this is great. I am waiting for this kit to finally arrive in Germany, and I have planned all along to go with a different non-racing design other than the boring options presented in the kit. You chose the most classic of all color designs for this type of car. Goes without saying, very well done.

Thanks guys!

Hi Ludwig, great paint job and detailing work, as usual!

Thanks guys, appreciate it! Thanks! Yes, and it's barely any work! Thanks to you too. I used some German stuff at first, it was good but dried in the bottle. So I switched to using cheaper Chinese stuff which has a much better bottle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-UV-Resin-Ultraviolet-Curing-Solar-Cure-Sunlight-Activated-Craft-Hard-Glue/373059258920?hash=item56dc108a28:g:Qg4AAOSwO7dexO9M

Hi there, this model is sort of a collaboration between my German fellow-modeller Ludwig (YBlock292) and myself. I got this model from him a few weeks ago and the original idea was to strip its body off all paint and do it all over again. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked the way it was done. The choice of colors is nice and the interior is well done too. However, the model was done a long time ago and the body paint was not very shiny: So I tried some sanding and polishing and found that the enamel paint that was used back then could be restored to a nice degree. So I gave it 2 more days and a lot of elbow grease to get the following results: For a bit of added realism, I treated the headlights with UV glue, in order to give them a bit more of a glass-like look: On the rear end, I added some exhausts: And some images along with its older '63 brother:

Thanks for all your kind feedback - I appreciate it!

Great build Anders! Looking at this, it’s hard to understand why the Edsel did not sell much, much better. ?

Thank you guys, I appreciate your feedback! Thanks Monty. The color is Tamiya Metallic Red TS-18 shot over grey Vallejo primer. Like so many, I use the reverse side of my Exacto blade as a scribing tool, plus some kind of small PE saw for further deepening the lines. I also use Tamiya Line Accent Color to optically enhance the effect. Thanks Mike! See my post above. And no clearcoat, just GOP (good ol' polishing)!

Hi there, I got this one done. The Revell kit, built box-stock except for the antenna and the Rally wheels have been borrowed from an AMT '67 Camaro kit. Went together well.

Nice model, well done!

Many thanks!

I built this '69 Z28 about one and a half years ago...
