This is gonna be cool John, very interested in following this one.....

Make sure to also look at some 1/1 reference photos for the correct placement of the strips.... URL=http://public.fotki.com/MCRUZ1/my-models/68chargermodel010.html]Hosted on Fotki

I used Plastruct Styrene Strips for the top as well as the chrome molding that separates the body roof lines from the bottom part of the body. Make sure to add extra primer to the middle of the roof once you add the strips. You want to make sure to recreate the overlap look of the strips.

yeap.......

I used to do it that way also, it was a trick I learned from Jairus. The fact that this does eliminate that extra step does function better for me. I must apologize because the blue Charger shown on the image was done with the 3M Spray Mount, I just forgot about it. I think you get the same results with both techniques but I think the older I get, the lazier I am becoming.....

Just shoot the paint from a distance and once dry, lightly sand it with at least a 3200 grit sanding cloth and that's it. Enamel based gloss paint works best because it leaves a heavier orange peel which is what you are going for. Don't forget to add the strips that run from front to back.

That is Mythical Maroon from the Testors Lacquer paints shot onto black primer, wanted to make sure I got a darker color.

This was a build for a club member a few years back. Don't remember if I had it here but here it goes. I did add a wash to the otherwise boring hubcaps before handing it over to the owner, something to be aware of when putting this baby together.

Awesome build!

Muy lindo amigo. El trabajo de las lineas de los paneles quedó muy fino. Felicitaciones.

Very cool my friend, turned out great.

Sorry to hear that, life can and will take over when it wants to and it's something we can't control. I am having a few issues of my own right now but I always keep my faith in God that He will change things for the better. I always believe that positive thinking and faith in the Lord always gets people through a lot of things and this is what keeps me going also. Don't let these situations get you down, things sometimes work out for the better at the end. Sorry about your mom, it's always priority and I respect that.

Glad to see you back at the bench bro, I will be following very closely. Very interesting project you have there. Let me know if you need anything from me. Ya sabes como brega la mafia....

Gotta get one of these for myself and yes.....I want it bone stock.....

Thank you for the updates, glad you are finally getting better from that troublesome back of yours. As always, I am here to help so if you need anything, let me know. I've had my share of issues also but little by little I will be reaching my goals. Thanks for all you do guys.

Thank you. Color is Aston Martin Almond Green from Gravity Colors.

Very good subject and points guys, I personally learn something new every day and that is also very important.

Sorry my friend, it's for an article in the mag so I can't share the WIP here until it comes out.

Terrific builds my friend, didn't think you built that many. Hard to pick a favorite though that '36 Mercedes looks awesome.

Thank you guys. Bed was scratch built.

This is gonna be so cool!

This is gonna be a cool project, I am working on a Mustang as well......

Not many this year........
