Great color and some nice detail work. I have this one in the stash; any tips on assembling?

Very creative! Awesome stance!

Solid looking build. Love the color and the white interior really pops. As others have commented, the grill treatment is very effective.

Can never be too many '32 Ford Roadsters! Nicely done! Digging the color combinations.

The Revell '32 Ford Roadster. Painted Testors Wet Look Graphite Dust and cleared with Testors Wet Look Clear. The blower got a light coat of Tamiya Titanium Gold followed by a coat of Tamiya Smoke. The wheels, headlight/front shock assemblies, exhaust headers, windshield, and air cleaners all got a coat of Tamiya x-19 Smoke over the chrome. Wired distributor from Greg's Scale models and I even wired in the correct firing order!:) Seat and door cards are Tamiya XF-82 Ocean Grey 2 and Tamiya XF-24 Dark Grey for a two tone interior. Radiator support rods cut from piano wire. A fun build. I have another in the stash which I'm imagining as a dry lakes/salt flats racer; we'll see how that idea develops.

A recently finished build. My mother-in-law, who passed this last February, often expressed a desire to own an old red truck so this one was done in memory of Loretta. Essentially box stock with spark plug wires added. Kit is the Revell '37 FORD PICKUP. Thanks for looking.

I totally understand that BMF "fear barrier" and yours has turned out to look quite nice. Got to say I quite like the paint color. I built this kit awhile back and never could quite sort out the front and rear splash pans to my satisfaction and the front fender wells on mine were a catastrophe!

Very nice street rod with details that make it unique.

Looks really great in white! Nice clean build.

Very nice build of what I agree is a very well done kit.

Beautifully detailed and great color!

A helluva' hot rod!

I am currently working on the same kit though my progress is very slow. I'll be watching this one.

This is too cool! I'll be watching.

Very interesting! I've not tried mixing them. Your result would suggest they are different products. Thanks for your input.

What did you use for the body filler?

The discussion referenced in Pete75's response is worth reading.

I too noticed that the little bottle was only about half full when I opened it. It is disturbing, and probably a violation of law, that the contents of the bottles would be 20% below the advertised volume!

Thanks Pete. One post in that discussion reported that Tamiya says they are the same product. I think I'll decant some TS this afternoon and run the experiment to see how it compares to the LP.

I'm beginning to think you're the Ian Roussel of model car building! Another wild project, I'll be following.

Ohhhhh, that looks like a wild machine in the making. Will you be doing a WIP?

I sprayed some Tamiya LP-1 Black lacquer this afternoon through the airbrush and was impressed with the results. In the past I've found it difficult to get a nice result with gloss black paint but the Tamiya (thinned 1:1 with MrColor Leveling Thinner) sprayed nicely and produced a nice even glossy black. So my point is I am impressed with the Tamiya LP paint's performance but I'm not impressed with the cost of buying mini 10ml jars. Tamiya spray cans, the TS paint line, by my understanding are lacquer and I'm wondering if there's any fundamental difference between the LP lacquer sold in tiny jars and the TS spray paints. I have a number of cans of the Tamiya TS spray cans but haven't decanted any with the exception of their light grey primer. The light grey primer goes on nicely through the airbrush and I find it much more economical than spraying a fog of paint from a rattle can. I do thin the decanted paint for use with the airbrush and typically use MrColor Leveling Thinner. Of course I can run the experiment and decant some of the Tamiya TS spray paint and see if I'm as pleased with the result as I am with the Tamiya LP paint. But, if anybody can confirm or deny that the LP paint and TS paint are the same products just packaged differently I would be interested to hear from you.

From the photographs it appears the 3D print quality is impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing the end product and what color scheme you go with. I think with such an iconic show car I would be inclined to go with the original color. 3D printing is becoming intriguing to me, particularly the ability to produce models not available on the market, but I already have so many models in the stash and I'm kind of a slow builder...........hmmmm, but still mighty tempting to have a go at it.

What a wild ride. Dude, I love your creativity. I recently completed the same kit but in a much closer to box stock form!

Echoing what others have already said; excellent color combination with the seat decals and the body paint. I have this one in the queue and hope I can do it justice as you have done.
