bluestringer

Calling it done, warts and all. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Calling it done. Going under glass.

Test fitting the body.........

Looks great. Nice work.

Looks fine to me. A simple two tone that goes together great. Get that chrome on there, it's going to be a looker.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you.

Great job on the foil.

Thanks. Thank you. I like the muscle cars also. I usually jump back and forth between the hot rods and muscle stuff.

Thanks. You are right. I may just make it a dune buggy...........LOL.

Been following this for a while. This is some impressive work. I never even realized scale car modeling could be taken this far. Fantastic.

Man I hate these floaters. I spent 15 minutes the other day chasing one around with a fly swatter. Bob, your paint job looks great, hope the foil holds. I need to improve my paint jobs, the floor polish clear coat I use is just not working, maybe I need to air brush it. Better yet I think I need to find a good spray can clear.

Looks great. Nice work.

Nice. I have one in my stash, I'll be watching.

Nice. I like it.

She's rolling............

Thanks Bob. Starting working on the chassis some today. A little too cool for me to stay in my shed very long though.

Looks real nice Bob. Did you get this kit from Hobby Lobby? I've never seen it at my local HL.

Thanks. I made my own blackwash with some craft paint, it seems to do ok. My local Hobby Lobby does not carry Tamiya paints. I do need to highlight the panel lines with it, seems I always forget that. I used it on the rims with some dullcote and I think it looks ok. I may highlight the lug nuts with a metallic pen also.

I've decided to leave the wheels chrome, add some blackwash and maybe a coat of dullcote to take off some of the shine. Meanwhile I got some paint on, Createx Pearl Green. Have not cleared it yet. I'm going to get some Novus polish and try using it for the first time. Do you polish before the clear coat or after?

Thanks.

Thanks. Probably dechrome the rims and paint them.

I know what you mean, they really never looked like smooth chrome. I'm still debating, but thinking about dechroming the steelies and painting them body color or a contrasting color.

Yea they do.

Thank you.

To disc it or to not disc it, that is the question. All comments welcome.
