Very nice detailing! well done

Thanks Paul, you certainly "get it" when it comes to my vision!!! I think there were more of these "strange" color combos back in the 60's, but now that all the cars left have been restored, alot of those unique colors got changed to lipstick red! Here is a ficticious build sheet i made up showing all the combination and options as the car would have been built.

Thanks everyone!! The grill, dash, and taillights are the new Canuck3D printed stuff. Decals are made by myself in photoshop. cut all the white stripes from a solid white sheet. Hubcaps are from Fireball modelworks.

Getting if finished up. I wasnt happy with my Chambered exhaust system so i carved out a new one from a little bit thinner tube. Still a few details like a dealership tag and some cleaning and panel line accents, but its more-or-less finished. I will start an Underglass topic from this point on.

Is usual i forgot to take more in-progress pics. Im really liking my new-found 15/0 seedbeads for hex fittings. i scratchbuilt most of the steering linkage rods and a body support/proprod. -

Clear over Revell Chrome
TheBEAUMONTGURU replied to afxawb2's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Interesting about the Pledge. I had not thought of that. I gotta try it. I have used the Alclad Aqua Gloss over the revell chrome, but it will dull it slightly. Not bad tho. But Gregs Pledge treatment sure looks better to me. -
