Embossing powder is great, here is a picture of the interior of my Vega that I recently completed!!! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Looks very good Phil, I like the color!!

It goes together pretty good, I didn't have any problems. Some chrome parts are pretty fragile so just make sure you put a light touch when installing them, other than that I think you will like it.

As usual, nice job on this Bob, I have always loved the body on these cars!!!

This came out beautiful Bob, color choice is cool!!!

Thank you, this is an Italeri kit!!! Hosted on Fotki

Didn't have a digital camera when I did this about 6 years ago so I decided to post it this time. Just want to be active before deciding on my next build. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Welcome Nigel!!! Now, we want to see pictures!!!!!

Welcome my friend, best forum out here, lots of good talent and people!!

I will tell you this much, the best way to learn is actually going throught what you are going, I can assure you that you will take better decisions next time specially with the painting process! The project is an interesting one though, I did one of these kits myself and found it to be a lot of fun. Good luck!!!

That's funny man but what I find funnier is that I have another guy who is interested in seeing it tonight but is also interested in buying a few built models I have. Depending on his decision tonoght I will let you know by tomorrow. I will send you a private e-mail!!

I have the Crescendo for 15 years now, never had an issue. On top of that, I rarely clean it up to the point when I decide to do a body, other than that, I just spray some lacquer thinner through it and let it sit until the next time I have to use it!!!

Thanks Bill, the acetone was perfect, better than lacquer for this application!!!

Thinned it with acetone and airbrushed it....

Very cool, wish I had one of those kits, they really look awesome and yours is definitely well done!!!

Thank you and many others for your service, take care!!!!

These are some day pictures I took in the morning, wish it would have been a little sunnier but here we go, definitely can see the true color much better... Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Welcome to the forum Mitch, hope to see some of those pictures here, we can always use them as reference for our projects!!!

I will take pictures of it outside but personally, I don't believe in taking pictures directly under a bright sunny day, with metallic paints it is always a mistake. I guarantee you that you will see the gloss!!!

Thanks for your suggestion my friend, not a bad idea but again, the idea is not to give my models away. Between the paint, clear and shipping ( I will be paying the shipping charges) I am 30 dollars in the hole already, it's definitely not starting at $35 Again, this is just a test to see how it does, if it doesn't go well I will get a buyer down the road, let's see!!!!

I want to get something straight, I don't mind if you buy a painted body from me and use it in a contest, to me it would be an honor if you did, tells me I must have done something right, right??? I was just concerned about the fuss that could be created by other people. With that said, here is my first effort. It's going for 75.00. Body is free of all mold lines, primed with white primer, airbrushed from a Dupli-Color touch up applicator paint (Chrysler Intense Blue Pearl color) and Cleared w/ Odds and Ends. Wetsanded, polished and waxed thoroughly. I still have to Bare Metal Foil it but would rather wait if buyer opts to do this himself, price is still the same. I will be taking outside pictures later, this color is truly gorgeous if seen w/ true light. Panel lines are re-scribed and made deeper, just makes for a more realistic look. Kit is complete in box with its decals and instructions. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
