'66 Chevy Fleetside Pickup - Revell
CA Whitecloud replied to CA Whitecloud's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Shelf Ready! I plan on doing some more detailed photos when there weather clears. Maybe add some diorama bits, we'll see. Except for the numerous foibles, as always, I like it. -

That's very kind. I do tend to B&M a bit along the way ?. Hey, if I can't vent here then where? My wife can only take so much. -

I really like how the fabric blanket looks on the seat. I wish I had taken a few pics before I put the interior into the cab. The side bits add a nice touch. And draw attention away from the less than stellar paint job. -

Pay no attention to the fact the hoses go nowhere. My zip-tie and hose clamp facsimiles could use work, but hey. -

The engine bay came out decent. This is the most detail I think I've tried. It is hard not to get discouraged when I see the level of skill some of you display. I try to go a little further with each build, and I do improve with each build (on average). But I'm still in it for the enjoyment of the hobby. You are the only folks I get to show my work (except my lovely, supportive wife). So without any judgement, let us proceed. -

Moving on. I like the blanket decal that comes with the kit. It adds a splash of color. But I wondered how it would look when applied to the seat that has prominent detailing, eh. So I thought leave it on the paper and make it look folded. I worked it too much, but was going to go with it. Then I happened across some fun details. It's too late to redo the tail lights. I'm glad to find those roof pillar accents. I wish I would have found the steering wheel detail earlier. I'll probably pass on that one. I need a tutorial on painting PE parts. I can't get the side badges to take the paint. I may try one more time, then it's the kit badges. -
How on earth did you have a photo of the exact part and placement on the very same kit so readily available? Boggles the mind. ?

I ran across some photo etch details and a fabric blanket for my '66 Chevy Fleetside build already in progress. One piece I don't see the placement for, and how would I apply/bend the steering wheel ring to look right?

I really tried to get the Chevy to show on the hubs, but I couldn't get the detail to come out. I also forgot to put a divot in the end of the tailpipe. What a rookie mistake! -

I put a heavy coat of clear on the hood, and the results are good enough for me and my shelf. Of coarse it all depends on how you look at it. -

CA Whitecloud replied to CA Whitecloud's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thanks for all that help. I will definitely take one of those routes. I'm going to concentrate on completing the rest of the build and come back to the hood. I do NOT want to dwell on it to the point it's not fun. -

Thanks for the encouragement. I wouldn't mind redoing the marker lights, but they don't have lenses just the amber decals. Hmmm. -
Zowie!

Hood of Horrors! Well that did not go as planned. I can't strip it because I've done the marker lights up front. Will a thick gloss coat cover any of this? I don't even remember why I was trying to "fix" the hood in the first place. -

So, was a mistake to put the Future on top of the Tamiya? I have X-22 in the bottle but I did not know if I could brush that on. I'm still working my way up to the airbrush world. -

CA Whitecloud replied to CA Whitecloud's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I used Tamiya clear first. I was hoping the Future would self level enough to just polish after. I decided to put down another color coat and move on. -

I did not like the big gap in the firewall and I was past using putty. So I faked a seal with rubber paint. I like it. I thought that was clever ? -

Test fit looks good. Of course some final fiddling at glue time will be needed. She's riding high in front. The tail end looks cool. Even though I accidentally threw away the clear lenses for the backup lights so I filled in with Mod Podge.
