  1. And last but not least I added muffler tips cut out of aluminum tubing, which is easy enough to do and it give the chassis a completed look . . . And once again the build broken down into its basic components . . . I feel like I still have a ways to go, but we are getting closer . . . and this one is going to get a special base built for it, I can feel it . . . the ideas are coming! Stay tuned in for more progress . . .
  2. I saved the engine for last, although I still have to wire and plumb it and make sure everything fits tight. Again, the 34 Ford is a swell kit, and I love it. It's really crept up into my top 10 list, that's for sure. Here's a detail shot of the trim painted in gold, awaiting the dark wash . .. The dash is also done and in place . . .
  3. The airbrush has been a wonderful tool to touch up all the little mistakes, and it is working towards unifying this build . . . You can see how the wash is going to work on the little scarab skulls on the fender . . . I am using Vallejo Acrylic wash black with a little brown in it . . . that after it dries you can clean up around the edges with a Q-tip moistened with a bit of water and alcohol! Here are the basic components painted and read for the wash . . . and so many other details . . .
  4. All right, my friends, a bit more progress . . . but like I said earlier, this one is one of the more complicated paint jobs I've done in a while, and I am still working on the paint . . . so many details . . . Here are some progress shots of the build mocked up . . . nothing is glued down yet, so I can handle the basic components and paint, wash, etc . . . . All the trim is now in gold, getting ready for a wash to bring out the details . . . there are so many little skulls all over this thing . . . I'm also trying to bring out different colors, but still getting the whole thing to look like one--does that make sense?
  5. It looks like you had blast building this. Congrats.
  6. What kind of trouble are you having with the acrylics? And what brand are you finally using?

  8. It's looking real good, keep it going, please.

  10. My father's saying applies to plenty of H.F. stuff: If you buy cheap it will end up being expensive!

  12. Yes, sick with severe Styrene Addiction! LOL!

  15. It's cool, and it's all right to build replicas of cars you've owned. It's fun.
  16. I've been using acrylics and then experimenting with Future Clear . . .
  17. Thanks, Darren, there'll be lots more progress tomorrow.

  19. Love the idea, Don. I gotta look into it . . . I think that would look cool!
  20. The work is coming real slow today, lots of detail work . . . I should have some more pics soon. Stay tuned in . . .
