Does anyone remember the Bill Thomas Chetah? Built in 1964, The answer to the Shelby Cobra. 15 survived to this day. Built with a Chevy 427c.i. engine, this was the most badass looking auto of it’s day.

ERTL 53 corvette.

On this surfboard I started with Model Master chrome yellow over white styrene. Then a Vallejo rust wash over that. If you want a deeper color such as walnut or mahogany go lastly with a third darker color such as Model Master rust. Use a coarse dry brush technique and let each color dry before putting on the next. This is a case where you WANT to see the brush strokes. Just be sure not to completely cover the previous coat.

Grew up building model cars in the sixties. In the seventies I spent most of my money on booze, broads and having a good time. I squandered the rest. Now I’m retired and realize that model car building is less stressful. So after a long hiatus I’m back and looking forward to reading this blog.

I signed up for print version of MCM last month. The purchase was confirmed by PayPal Jan.19 but I have yet to receive anything. Can anyone tell me when the next issue is due?
