GoForItPainting

Salt technique - I've known about this technique for years but only just tried it for painting my '37 Ford.

Is it good to make the ignition cables from LAN cable? Are the ends of the distributor about the same size (0.85-0.86mm with insulation), or is it just the connector that size and the cable thinner? Can I get a good cable thickness by cutting the insulation off the middle of the cable and using the insulation as a connector? I've never done this before and I haven't seen any thickness in the products on the webshops. Thank you!!

The painting has started!

You can find my "how to paint rust" video in the weathering topic. The figures for the car will be ready soon...

I hope it will be useful:

I just have to build the wheels and the interior and tomorrow I can paint it. - I will upholster the seats. - The tailgate might be magnetized with 1x1 mm diameter magnets. - I really like the dual exhaust tips and lights on the "A" version, so I might modify it with those.

You told me (under one of your YT video) to watch out for the firewall during assembly. Thanks for the advice here too! I have just arrived at the point where it will make my job easier. Thank you!!

I'm at step 14 and today I want to assemble it ready for painting. I also made a video in the process. This is my first Revell car but after the Tamiya it is a little less fun. - The Tamiya VW Beetle 66' fitted like Lego. The material was less flexible, but the hood didn't fit perfectly there either. I am making the "B" version from the Ford and the fit between the cabin and the hood is very loose. - The frames are not marked with letters, several parts that fit together were on separate frames. One piece of the engine is on the chrome frame and the rest on white. (I searched for a long time until I realized that I should also search there) - The parts fit very close to the frame. The cutter is difficult to fit there, but there are things that would be damaged even with a blade. It is most disturbing for round parts. These are the first experiences. It's great to practice and learn even if the hood is stuck because of the gap.

I haven't started yet, but both Ford concepts are ready. I would like to make YT videos of each of them. Photos will be posted here. I may make the surfboard out of balsa wood.

I found it. It's not in the instructions but there's a small pedal on the floor, similar to this one:

My guide is a different edition (it's from the internet) it even has a photo of 1 pedal and 2 pedals not just a caption. So I didn't understand this...

Is there a car with only one pedal? How do the gas and brakes work? Thank you!

I bought some pin-up girl figures for my new model car projects. In this video you can also see the current paint job on the VW Beetle: Click here to watch my Youtube video.

As I am also building a 37' truck in parallel I decided to go for the modern restored style. The truck will have more amortization (from use and weathering) and this one will have shiny chrome and a modern paint job. I've tried this metallic paint several times on figures and now I'm going to try it on the car with a little modification:

This is the other Ford I'm making now, alongside the 32'. This one looks easier so I'll start with this one. I am still in the research phase, but I will have some questions.

How do you make the amortization caused by salty, coastal air? I'll make a Revell Ford 37' truck with surf and I'd like to make some wear on the paint like the naval aircraft and vessels. I guess it works a bit differently for car paint. Thank you!

I checked the instructions and unfortunately it's not as easy to mix the parts as I thought. This is the first Revell model I am making and I really like the fact that the name of each part is written down in the instructions. I would like to ask why it says one pedal for the coupe version? Gas and brake pedals were and are on all cars, right? Thank you! I really like the drum shaped air cleaner on the coupe and I'm not sure I'm going to put the hood on either. If I leave it open then I want to do the wiring.

I opened the box and my first impression is not as good as when I opened the Tamiya Beetle 66'. But I haven't checked it thoroughly yet. I don't like the tires, but I also bought a 37' 2in1 kit (I won't say whose YT videos influenced me to buy these two models ) and it has two types of tires so I can choose. I don't know anything about the technical stuff and I couldn't describe the difference between some styles exactly. I am still a beginner modeler and am currently in the learning stage. Techniques, tools and materials that were not needed for figure painting. That's why I registered on this forum, subscribed to several YT channels and I welcome all help, opinions and criticism here and on my own channel. For example, - I was thinking that if the car is made with the fender I will sink the headlights in. (The unused one from the Beetle.) - I might also change the roof. - At first I will finish the cars with the Vallejo gloss varnish but I will try the polish later.

After a long wait my parcel arrived and tonight I can unpack the Fords I ordered. It's not going to be a Sci-fi conversion this time, but I'll definitely do some custom modifications. I also bought 1/24 figures... Which version would you build? I am also thinking of mixing the two to my taste.

The paintwork on the Beetle is finished. Got the seats from the Plymouth and some parts of this may be used in a new project. A trailer will be on my channel soon. My new models will arrive next week, but I'm not going to do a sci-fi rebuild of them...

My Youtube channel has reached its first 100 subscribers. I "celebrated" by buying a softbox (entry level). I hope to be able to produce better quality pictures and videos. If my audience continues to grow I plan to purchase a "Canon EOSM50 MkII". Would it be suitable for the type of close-up video shoots I do ("how to videos")? Or should it have at least a portrait ("selfie videos") distance with lots of light? Thank you!

Colors: Vallejo German Dark Yellow primer, Citadel Agrax Earthshade Gloss, Vallejo Yellow Rust, Citadel Snakebite Leather, Citadel Agrax Earthshade Gloss

It is very cool! Can you share some recipes in the Tutorials: weathering topic like the aluminium rust effect?

Very nice model! (You can see mine in the "WIP: All The Rest" topic I made last weekend.) I originally ordered this kit with the trailer, but got the quick build version. The end result would have been similar, but I would have used the engine and trailer for another project. I like the color of yours better than the factory color mine was!
